Medical Metal Tubing Market, by Material (Stainless Steel, Titanium, Nitinol (NiTi), Others), by Application (Dialysis or Intravenous Tubing, Catheters & Cannulas, Drug Delivery Systems, Other Applications), by End User (Hospitals, Clinics, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Others), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Metal tubes are used for disposable and reusable medical instruments such as drug delivery systems, intravenous tubing, etc. The tubes can be manufactured from either drawn tubing or using a stamped and rolled technique. In manufacturing Metal tubes, the rolled tube technology method is better suited for high-quantity tubes. This method requires the use of a progressive stamping die and raw stock in coil form, usually stainless steel for surgical instruments.
Manufacturers offer stainless steel tubing which are ideal for the Orthopedic, Arthroscopic, Minimally Invasive Surgical Instruments, and Diagnostics markets. These tubes are manufactured from materials such as 17-7 stainless steel, and core alloys such as 304/304L, 316/316L, and 321.
Market Dynamics
Global medical Metal tubing market is primarily driven by increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and life threatening diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases which in turn increases demand for medical Metal tubing for the treatment of these diseases. For instance, according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Diabetes Atlas Tenth edition 2021, around 537 million adults (20-79 years) were living with diabetes globally, in 2021. The total number of people living with diabetes is projected to rise to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045.
Increasing adoption of inorganic growth strategies by key players such as agreements to increase their product portfolio is expected to propel growth of the global medical Metal tubing market. For instance, in October 2021, Tenaris S.A, a global manufacturer and supplier of steel pipes and related services, announced that it had entered into an agreement with MKK USA Inc., a subsidiary of Maruichi Steel Tube Ltd of Japan, for the sale of its structural pipe business in the U.S. The sale of structural pipe unit in Geneva, is in line with Tenaris’s long-term strategy of focusing on core businesses, serving the domestic market with pipes and innovative services.
