Europe Medical Plastic Market is expected to have a positive impact on the industry growth

The Europe medical plastic market is expected to reach USD 4.84 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing demand for medical plastics in applications such as disposables, surgical instruments, diagnostic components, implants, and orthopedics is expected to drive demand. Rising demand for healthcare services and facilities coupled with increasing government support to the medical industry in the Europe is expected to have a positive impact on the industry growth.

Rising R&D expenditure related to the manufacture of bio-compatible medical plastics with superior quality, low cost, and minimal health hazards is anticipated to propel demand. However, 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.
