$28 Billion Medical Plastics Markets, 2020 - Global Overview 2017-2026 & Industry Guide with Contact Details for 134 Companies

Dublin, Sept. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Medical Plastics - A Global Market Overview" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The overall global market for Medical Plastics is expected to reach US$28 billion in 2020.

The growth of plastics in medical devices has transformed the marketplace, with plastic medical devices steadily replacing other materials such as glass, ceramics, and metals, wherever applicable.

Plastics are widely used in medical devices like disposable syringes, intravenous blood bags, optical and dental products, MRIs, heart valves, contact lenses, prosthetic devices, and many more medical products. Medical-grade plastics are used more and more in medical devices for their high performance, lightweight, and lower costs.

During Covid-19 outbreak, increased requirements of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will boost the consumption of standard plastics such as medical-grade polypropylene, polyethylene, and drive market demand. Other prominent medical-grade plastics include medical-grade PVC and HDPE medical grade.
