Medical Tubing Market, by Material (Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)), Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), Silicone, Polyolefins (Polyethylene (PE), and Polypropylene (PP)), and Others), by Application (Peristaltic Pump Tubing, Catheters (Diagnostic Catheters, Central Venous Catheters, Angioplasty Catheters, and Other Catheters), Feeding Tubes, Urological Retrieval Devices, Cannulas, and Other Applications), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Medical tubes are essential part of various medical devices, and are used extensively in catheters and cannulas’ manufacturing, drug delivery systems, dialysis, and intravenous tubing. Medical tubes are usually a small plastic tube, which are inserted into the patient’s body through mouth, nose, or any cut in skin to deliver oxygen, anesthesia, drugs, or any other fluid. Generally, the structure of medical tubes becomes more complex with decrease in size of the tube. The medical tubes are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to satisfy demand for medical tubing in various applications. The market players are also focusing on advancements of raw materials of medical tubing, as the materials vary with application and chemical nature of the drug.
Materials such as silicone, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polycarbonate (PC), bio absorbable polymers, polyester, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) are used in medical and pharmaceutical applications such as peristaltic pump tubing, catheter, feeding tubes, urological retrieval devices, among others. Silicone is the most preferred material in medical tubing, owing to its higher resistance towards extreme temperatures and non-toxicity. Raw materials play an essential role in the manufacturing of medical tubing, as incompatibility of material can lead to serious problems such as chemical alteration of drugs and medicines. Moreover, incompatible tube materials might lead to binding of chemical or drug to the wall of medical tube, resulting in failure of drug delivery to patient.
Market Dynamics
The increasing usage of medical tubing in Intravenous (IVs), catheters, peristaltic pumps, and biopharmaceutical laboratory equipment are expected to boost the medical tubing market growth. For instance, in December 2021, according to data published in National Center for Biotechnology Information, a surgeon can solve any issues from diagnosis, examination, and treatment using progressive endoscopy evolution. Minimally invasive therapy is an extremely dynamic area of innovation, as illustrated by the establishment of new professional journals and societies, the growing number of publications in established journals as well as the lay press, and the rapid entry of medical device firms into the market.
