Medical polymer is a biodegradable plastics or elastomers used in healthcare and medical applications. Medical polymers are used in joint replacements, spinal implants, and cranial injuries. Medical grade polymer materials are an essential part of the modern healthcare system. These materials comply with global regulatory requirements and are specifically engineered and manufactured for medical use. In our case, their availability is guaranteed for a longer period than ordinary grades. Common thermoplastic materials used in the manufacturing of medical plastic products include polycarbonate, polypropylene, polyethylene or the formulation of custom polymers to meet specific medical device applications. Both synthetic and natural biodegradable polymers have been used as surgical materials, and these polymers degrade in the body through hydrolysis or enzymes, respectively. Medical Polymers Market was valued at USD 22.9 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 48.1 Billion by 2034 growing at a CAGR of 8.5%.
The report “Global Medical Polymers Market, By Product Type (Fibers and Resins, Medical Elastomers, and Biodegradable Medical Polymers), By Application (Medical Devices and Equipment, Medical Packaging, and Others), and By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) - Trends, Analysis, and Forecast till 2030”
Key Highlights:
- In 2020, California-based SLA 3D printer manufacturer Nexa3D and global chemical company Henkel have launched a new polymer for 3D printing called xMED412. The polypropylene (PP)-like material combines enhanced strength properties with the biocompatibility of medical-grade materials, potentially making it well-suited to producing medical devices.
- In 2020, Clariant Plastics and Coatings Healthcare Polymer Solutions has completed development and testing of new polymer materials specially formulated to resist degradation caused by exposure to high humidity and temperature.
