Medical plastics, to put it simply, are plastics that find application in the medical field. These plastics are categorized into different types of resins that include commodity resins and engineered resins. Technological advancements, improvements in sterilization techniques, and development of innovative products are few factors that are expected to propel demand in the long run. Demographic trends, such as an expanding elderly population and improved living standards, have also contributed to the rising demand for disposable medical devices and equipment. Increasing use of combination medical devices, changes in medical packaging market, shift towards miniature and portable devices, and biocompatible features of advanced polymers are expected to promote the development of new products, thereby contributing to the overall market growth.
