The engineering plastics segment is projected to lead the medical plastics market during the forecast period.

Based on type, engineering plastics are a group of polymers that have better and more efficient mechanical or thermal properties than commodity/standard plastics. These plastics provide many advantages over standard plastics, such as good malleability, faster production time, low weight, resistance to high impact, flame, shock, and chemicals, and better friction reduction. Engineering plastics used in medical applications can be divided into PA, ABS, PC, and polyacetal. Improving standards and regulations mandating high quality of plastics used in medical applications are responsible for the large market size in this segment. In addition, the increasing use of engineering plastics in robotic assistance, AI-driven procedures, 3D printing of implants and prosthetics, and others are driving the use of engineering plastics.

The medical disposables segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on application, the medical disposables segment is projected to register the highest CAGR between 2019 and 2024. The use of medical plastics is increasing due to their versatility. Medical disposables can be defined as single-use products that are used in surgical as well as procedural applications. The use of these medical products in procedural applications and general checkup is increasing. In addition, the use of these disposables as instructed by various agencies, such as USFDA and Europe FDA are propelling the demand for medical plastics globally. Increased incidences of chronic diseases, changing lifestyle of middle-income group, demand for better healthcare facilities, and increase in the aging population are the major drivers for the market.
