Medical Tubing Market by Material (Plastics, Rubbers, Specialty Polymers), Application (Bulk Disposable Tubing, Catheters & Cannulas, Drug Delivery Systems, Specialty Applications), Structure, and Region - Global Forecast to 2028

The Medical tubing market is projected to reach USD 15.7 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 8.2% from USD 10.6 billion in 2023. The combination of growing market trends, increasing application, consumer demand from emerging economies, and advancements in medical tubing technology are driving the adoption and use of medical tubing.

“Based on material, rubber medical tubing is expected to be the largest market during the forecast period, in terms of value.”

The rubber segment is the largest material to lead the market during forecast period. Rubber medical tubing is a flexible and durable material used for fluid pathways, drug delivery systems, wound drainage, and more. There are several types of rubber medical tubing available, including latex, silicone, polyurethane, ethylene propylene diene monomer, thermoplastic elastomer, and thermoplastic polyurethane. These tubes are resistant to certain chemicals and sterilization methods.

“Based on application, drug delivery system is the fastest growing market during the forecast period, in terms of value.”

Drug delivery systems are the fastest growing market in medical tubing. Drug delivery systems integrated into medical tubing are designed to facilitate the controlled and precise administration of medications, fluids, or other therapeutic agents directly into the body. These systems are used in various medical settings, including hospitals, clinics, and home care. They are designed to ensure the accurate and efficient delivery of medications while minimizing the potential for errors and complications. They play a critical role in various medical treatments, improving patient outcomes and safety.

“Based on region, Asia Pacific is the fastest growing market for medical tubing in 2022, in terms of value.”

Based on region, Asia Pacific is the fastest growing market to produce medical tubing. The Asia Pacific region is driven by the presence of countries such as China, India, and Japan, which are expected to be the fastest-growing markets in the region. The increasing demand from end-use applications such as bulk medical tubing, catheters & cannulas, drug delivery systems, and other special applications (peristaltic pump tubing and smoke evacuation tubing) is driving the growth of the medical tubing market in the Asia Pacific region. The demand for minimally invasive medical procedures has increased in the Asia Pacific region, which has led to a rise in demand for medical tubing.
