stringent regulatory scenario associated with the medical device manufacturing
and waste disposal are anticipated to be key challenges for the industry in the
region.
Europe medical plastic industry
is highly competitive and fragmented owing to the presence of numerous players.
Manufacturers are coming up with various innovative technologies in order to
reduce cost and improve product quality and durability. Price volatility of the
feedstock and stringent government regulations associated with the medical
device manufacturing are expected to be the key factors affecting the industry
growth. Competition in the medical plastic market is likely to help consumers in
terms of cost, quality and product innovation. Cost competitiveness and product
quality are anticipated to be the key factors influencing buyer power decision.
High production volumes and ease of availability of the product is expected to
propel demand over the projected period.
Polyethylene was the largest
product segment for Europe medical plastic industry in terms of volume in 2015
and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 5% from 2016 to 2024. Rising demand
for the product for manufacturing artificial tendons, surgical cables, tubing
and orthopedic sutures is expected to drive growth.
Disposable was the key
application segment for the industry, accounting for 25% of the total market in
2015 and this trend is expected to continue over the forecast period. Growing
demand for devices such as disposable enemas, cleaning gloves, contact lenses,
hypodermic needles and Dialysis disposables is anticipated to drive demand for
various plastic materials such as PVC, silicones, and PE.
In the UK, demand for silicon for
surgical instrument manufacturing was valued over 3 million in 2015 and is
expected to grow at a CAGR of over 5% over the projected period. Silicone
