Global Silicone Pin Mat Market - 2022-2029

Global Silicone Pin Mat Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

Silicone Pin Mat Market size was valued at US$ XX million in 2021 and is estimated to reach US$ XX million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of X% during the forecast period (2022-2029).

A silicone pin mats are used in sterilization process of delicate surgical instrument in laboratory. It has perforations that provide proper exposure and ventilation during sterilization and provide protection to instruments such as trays and containers. In addition, silicone pin mats can be cut into smaller pieces to fit into the proper box or basket. These mats are sterilizable, flexible, and washable, have a fast drying capacity, and are adjustable to all sizes.

Market Dynamics

The silicone pin mat market growth is driven by several factors, such as an increasing healthcare expanditure, technological advancements in healthcare sector, rising number of research activities to develop new treatment as increase number of infectious disease and other disease in the wordwide.

The rising demand of silicone pin mat for sterilization is expected to drive the market growth

Silicone pin mats are more commonly used for sterilization. Manily, this mat is used for sterilisation of surgical instruments, containers, micro-surgery, trays and ultrasonic cleaners where it protects and organises delicate instruments for the sterilisation process. It is thermo-resistant and suitable for central sterilisation services, and it stands for repeated autoclaving. Silicone pin mats has capacity to hold operating instruments in position, supported by soft spines. For instruments, this mat is safe and easier as it is supported by small protrusions and contaminants are not transferred by any other sources. Silicone fine pin mats are preferred for microsurgical instruments and coarse pin mats contain medium-spaced semi-rigid pins, which are suitable for less delicate instruments. For instance, Sonita medic enterprise offers both fine and coarse silicone pin mats for medical purposes. Ths silicone mats are made of FDA-grade silicone, it is suitable for gas sterilization of surgical instruments, sterilization with Ethylene Oxide gas, and hydrogen peroxide sterilization. It prevents slipping and enables to provide safe instrument transportation. Some mats contains holes and buttons on the underside to allow easy drainage and steam penetration. It is manufactured with RoHS and FDA standards.

The disadvntages of silicone pin mat will hamper the growth of the market

However, some silicone pin mats have certain disadvantages. In particular, some mats have backings that are flat and the holes are relatively small so that fluids do not tend to flow on the surface of the mat. Therefore, when the sterilisation process is ongoing, the condensed moisture forms and collects on the upper surface of the backing between the holes. This small amount of moisture can provide sites for bacterial growth in the tray. In addition, making different arrangements of mats requires excessive material, which adds more cost for production, which limits the market growth.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The appearance of COVID-19 considerably impacted the global demand for these devices. The global demand for silicone pin mat is directly influenced by the research activities and development of new treatments for infectious diseases, which leads to the repeatation of the sterilisation process in the laboratory.

On the other hand, according to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, health services are disrupted in many countries, including the United States, which results in a disruption in treatment services for cancer, cardiovascular, and other emergencies. Due to lockdown restrictions and supply chain disruptions, most research institutions faced difficulties accessing silicone pin mats. Mostly in the Asia region, developing a major drug requires raw materials, but due to supply chain disruptions, most companies dependent on them for supply are impacted. COVID-19 has impacted most clinical areas, and due to limited access for both clinicians and patients, most trials have been postponed or cancelled. Furthermore, restricted hospital and clinic access significantly reduced minor and major surgeries in hospitals, resulting in decreased demand for sterilisation processes affecting both large and small market players in thr silicone pin mat market.

Segment Analysis

The fine pin mats segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2029)

The fine pin mats segment is expected to hold the dominant market share over the period forecast (2022-2029) due to the increasing research activities in laboratory to develop innovative treatment for various disease globally. Mostly, this mat is used for the sterilisation of microsurgical instruments. Users can place objects directly in the container without using a wire base or basket. In addition, it is available in different sizes such as half-length and full-length, which leads to rising demand for silicone fine pin mat in the market worldwide.

In addition, according to an article published in Artificial Intelligence of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine, it is estimated that 321.9 million surgeries are performed each year. For the surgery, surgical instruments are required, and for those surgical instruments, repeatative steeilization is needed. As surgeries are growing, there is an increasing demand for silicone mats in the market worldwide.

Geographical Analysis

North America region holds the largest market share of the global silicone pin mat market

North America dominates the market for silicone pin mat and is expected to show a similar trend over the forecast period owing to the increased diseased population, advanced healthcare infrastructure, outbreak of infectious diseases, and favorable government initiatives. There are several companies present in the region that are working towards new technological advancements in silicone pin mat. For instance, market players such as Surgmed Group offer adjustable, reusable, and autoclavable silicone mats for the sterilization process.

Furthermore, in the United States, more than 45 million surgical procedures (eye surgeries and others) are performed each year, which involves the use of more medical devices. To avoid the bacterial contamination it is necessary to sterilize the all surgical instruments properly. The sterile processing department follows the all FDA guidelines of sterilization. Increase the sterilization events leads to increase the demand of silicone pin mats in the North American region.
