Medical Polymers (Resins and Fibers (PVC, PP, PE and PS), Elastomers (SBC and Rubber Latex), and Biodegradable Plastics) Market for Devices, Equipment, Packaging and Other Applications - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast,
NEW YORK, Oct. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The medical polymers market comprises resins and fibers, elastomers and biodegradable plastics that are used in various healthcare applications such as equipment and devices, packaging and tissue engineering. Polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polystyrene and polyethylene are the commonly used fibers and resins in the medical industry. Thermoplastic elastomers and rubber latex make up the elastomers segment of the medical polymers market. Biodegradable plastics such as PLA and PEEK are used increasingly due to stringent regulations by authorities such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Growth in emerging economies of Asia Pacific in the medical polymers market is another important factor that is likely to boost product sales over the next few years. Medical polymers are used in the manufacture of devices and equipment in the medical & healthcare segment. Polymers such as polyethylene are used in medical packaging, while polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is used in tissue engineering. Demand for these materials is high in the medical polymers market.
