So, What Drives the Demand for Medical Plastics Market?
The growing popularity of medical procedures, such as surgery and chemotherapy, is responsible for this growth. In addition, SkyQuest’s analysts say that advances in technology will also result in an increase in the use of medical plastics.
One of the key drivers behind this growth is the increasing awareness of the dangers posed by traditional metal prosthetics. These implants can become infected, causing pain and even disability. Medical plastic, on the other hand, is highly resistant to infection and typically doesn't require replacement or repairs.
In addition to its safety benefits, medical plastic is also cost-effective. For example, a single set of dental implants made from plastic can last longer than those made from metal.
The demand for medical plastics market is steadily growing, as the material is perfect for a variety of applications. Not only is it biocompatible, but medical plastic also has a low resistance to heat and electricity. This makes it ideal for surgery, implants, and other medical procedures
Furthermore, because medical plastic is made to precise specifications, it often requires less customization than traditional prosthetics. This growing demand for medical plastic has already resulted in some businesses creating dedicated lines of products specifically designed for this market. For example, companies that manufacture dental implants use a variety of materials, including medical plastic to create their devices.

Counterfeiting to Pose Major Challenge to Medical Plastics Market
SkyQuest's market outlook of challenges in medical plastics market warns about the declining trend of sales and proliferation of counterfeit medical grade plastics globally. While demand for medical grade plastics is expected to grow owing to the increasing need for safe and transparent medical devices, counterfeiting will pose a major challenge to the market. Globally, around 50% of medical device recalls involve fake or counterfeit products. This is mainly due to lax quality control procedures, inadequate supply chains and low product knowledge among patients and doctors. As a result, Medical Grade Plastics Europe (MGPE) reports that up to 50% of all injection molding Compliant Medical Devices (CMD) are not compliant with European Standard EN ISO 13485-2-2004 for medical devices.
India accounts for the second largest share in the Asia Pacific medical plastics market due to growing healthcare sector and rising middle class population. Wherein, the popularity of high-end implants such as coronary stents has led to an increase in the demand for ultra-high-performance polyethylene (UHPPE) materials in the healthcare sector. However, counterfeiting continues to be a major challenge in this market as well as other industries where medical grade plastics are used.
In order to overcome this obstacle, manufacturers need to do more groundwork in educating consumers and healthcare professionals about these materials.
Furthermore, new regulations related to safety and environmental concerns could impact the global medical plastics market market adversely in the near future. Another challenge that the market is likely to face is increasing raw material costs. This is due to increased demand for specialty materials such as biodegradable plastics and nanocomposites, which are generally more expensive to produce than conventional plastics. Alternatives such as recycled materials or virgin materials could help mitigate this issue, but they have their own limitations that must be considered.
