Sphygmomanometer Foley Catheter Medical tubes
Commodity plastics will remain dominant with better opportunities anticipated for engineering plastics as a result of greater needs for higher performing materials. Leading commodity resins include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene, polyethylene and polystyrene. Thermoplastic polyester and polypropylene will exhibit the best growth due to opportunities in pharmaceutical and medical product packaging. Demand for engineering plastics will be boosted by growing needs for higher performing materials in surgical, diagnostic testing, drug delivery, geriatric care, self treatment and preventative medicine. Best opportunities are expected in the surgical and medical instrument segment. Polycarbonate will remain the dominant engineering resin and exhibit the best growth prospects based on the resin?s clarity and impact resistance. Thermoplastic elastomers will also present above-average growth due to their moldability and good tactile properties.
Packaging will remain the leading market for medical plastics and present the best growth opportunities. Advances will be driven by plastic’s low cost and excellent protective capabilities in pharmaceutical and product packaging uses. Product component markets will rise at a slightly slower pace, stimulated by opportunities in areas such as prosthetic devices and invasive surgical instruments, which are currently dominated by metal. Further growth will be threatened by decelerating growth in surgical procedures and advances in minimally invasive surgical techniques.For more information,please visit http://www.bossgoo.com
