OTTAWA, May 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medical plastic compounds refer to those polymers that are largely used in the manufacturing of medical devices because of their low cost and weight as compared to their counterparts. Disposable syringes, heart valves, and intravenous blood bags are manufactured using plastic compounds. Major application of medical plastics is in the production of personal protection equipment (PPE) kits that are registering prominent demand in recent times.
Previously, glass, metals, and ceramics were used in the production of medical devices and implants. On the other hand, presently, plastic compounds are the largely preferred material by the manufacturers of medical devices because it is lighter in weight and offers superior biocompatibility as well as lower cost.

Growth Factors
Medical devices that can be implanted in a human body are prominently used by the ageing population having lower immunity. Italy, Japan, Germany, Portugal, and other developed countries such as the U.S. have significant population base of geriatric people. As per the World Health Organization (WHO) report, around 2 Billion people across the globe are predicted to be above 60 year of age by the end of year 2050, three times of the geriatric population in 2000. Medical advancements and high-end treatment facilities in the developed regions are the major factors behind the prominent growth of geriatric population in these regions. This in turn has also increases the healthcare budget of the country coupled with the demand for the implantable medical devices. Hence, the aforementioned factors are likely to augment the market size for medical plastic compounds in these countries.
Besides this, the outbreak of coronavirus has prompted governments of several regions to increase their investment in the healthcare sector along with developed medical infrastructure in order to protect their citizens from the upcoming uncertainties in the near future. Further, this outbreak of COVID-19has significantly surged the demand for PPE kits that further expected to boost the market growth for medical plastic compounds in the near future. Polypropylene plastics are largely utilized for the manufacturing of face shields, goggles, gloves, masks, head covers, coveralls or gowns, and shoe covers in accordance to minimize the risk of contamination. In addition to this, the shortage of these PPE kits across the globe has drastically uplifted the demand for medical grade plastics.
