Demand for disposables in U.S. medical plastic market surges owing to rising number of covid-19 cases

Research analysts at Transparency Market Research predict that the U.S. medical plastic market will grow at a stellar CAGR of 9% over the forecast period of 2020 to 2030. They also project that the U.S. medical plastic market will reach the evaluation of US$ 30 billion by the end of the forecast period i.e. 2030. Surging demand for disposable medical devices such as disposable intravenous (IV) tubes is anticipated to emerge as one of the leading drivers for the U.S. medical plastic market in 2020 to 2030. Low cost, high durability, breathability, biocompatibility, lower weights, chemical resistance, and sterilization capability of medical grade plastics are key factors favoring the development of the U.S. medical plastic market.

Polypropylene Segment in U.S. Medical Plastic Market to Expand Rapidly in the Near Future

Segments in the U.S. medical plastic market based by the type of product includes polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, engineering plastics, biodegradable plastic, polylactic acid, polyethylene, polystyrene, silicone, and polycarbonates. Polyvinyl chloride segment dominated the U.S. medical plastic market in 2019. Excellent properties of polyvinyl chloride, such as lightweight, toughness, abrasion resistance, and excellent mechanical strength makes it a lucrative commodity in U.S. medical plastic market, especially for the production of disposable medical devices. Polypropylene (PP) segment is anticipated to expand at a high rate in the U.S. medical plastic market in coming years owing to high resistance of PP to acids, electrolytes, cracking, and organic solvents. Polypropylene is used to make vials, diagnostic devices, specimen bottles, intravenous bottles, and pill containers.
