Medical Copper Tubing Market By Product (Type K, Type L, and DWV), By Application (Hospitals, Outpatient Facilities, and Dentists), and By Region - Trends, Analysis and Forecast till 2034

Medical Copper Tubing Market was valued at USD 1.7 Billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% to reach USD 3.8 Billion by 2034.

Copper is gaining popularity in healthcare due to being flexible and durable. They are recognized for their excellent operational pressure resistance and longevity and thus efficient for medical tubing systems. Medical copper tubes are part of wide range of end users for patient care in dental offices, surgery in hospitals, and other treatments in outpatient clinics. One of the major trends that has emerged in the future of medical copper tubing, depending on the requirements, is the increasing demand for low coefficient of friction on both sides of the tube. The use of additives, especially thermoplastic elastomers, by manufacturers to lower the lubricity index and coefficient of friction of hoses is growing. Copper tubes find widespread use in developed nations across the globe for a variety of medicinal applications. Medical copper tubes are used to deliver gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide. Copper pipes being antibacterial and non-harmful are the preferred choice.

DRIVERS of Medical Copper Tubing Market:

Increasing demand for medical copper tubes
