[196 Pages Report] The Medical Polymer Market size was estimated at USD 23.92 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 25.82 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 8.13% to reach USD 41.36 billion by 2030.

Medical or clinical-grade polymers are utilized as additives and fillers in clinical plastics and for other clinical devices and packaging. Medical polymers are biocompatible in nature and remain stagnant or are smoothly processed by the human body. Healthcare industry are adopting medical polymers widely, with significant efforts to commercialize new medical polymers to meet the specification of high-end applications. The demand for polymers in the healthcare market is growing significantly due to a substantial increase in the need for medical implants due to the increased need to monitor body functions and support organs and tissues. However, unsteady expenses of raw materials and the implementation of stringent regulations impede the adoption of medical polymers. In addition, several manufacturers display therapeutic polymers with varying molecular weights, crosslinking and crystallization levels, copolymers and blends, and bioactive surface fictionalization. Furthermore, the growing attraction to novel and inventive healthcare devices is increasing the need for clinical polymers globally to aid in device innovation and supportability.
