Medical tubes are a crucial component of many different medical devices. They are widely utilised in the production of catheters and cannulas, as well as in dialysis, drug delivery systems, and intravenous tubing. In order to supply oxygen, anaesthetic, medications, or any other fluid, medical tubes—typically small plastic tubes—are put into the patient's body through the mouth, nose, or any other cut in the skin. In general, as the size of a medical tube decreases, its structure becomes more intricate. To meet the demand for medical tubing in diverse applications, the medical tubes are offered in a variety of forms and sizes. The market participants are also concentrating on improvements in medical tubing's raw materials because these materials vary according on the application and chemical make-up of the medicine.

According to World Health Organization (WHO), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of deaths worldwide with around 3.23 million deaths in 2019. Pulmonary diseases, such as asthma, bronchitis, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), are rising rapidly among people of different age groups, which is expected to increase demand for medical tubing used widely in respiratory devices to support patients in breathing. Tubes are inserted past through vocal cords into a windpipe just above trachea with the other end connected to a ventilator to aid patient in breathing.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increase in geriatric population

The market for medical tubing has been largely pushed by the ageing population's requirement for medical equipment using tubing. While it is only moderate in developed nations, the majority of the ageing population rise is seen there. Life expectancy is increasing in these nations along with the healthcare system. The demand for transportable, light-weight medical equipment and tubes will rise as a result of this demographic shift. In these areas, there will be a rapid increase in the usage of technologies including home care equipment, patient monitoring equipment, and enteral tube feeding equipment. It is also anticipated that there will be a rise in the need for equipment and tubes connected to cardiovascular and respiratory disorders.

Restraint:

Significant investments and time required for product development

Medical tube manufacture involves significant costs and takes a lot of time. Delays in regulatory approvals lengthen the total development process, which reduces investment in technology for the development of medical products. In order to prevent technical and biocompatibility problems, which need additional resources and time, the market is constantly innovating its products. For instance, it is crucial to scrutinise the application areas for each polymer in medical tubing and choose the best one for a certain medical application, which necessitates intensive R&D and technological know-how. Medical equipment and polymers must go through various approval procedures, which could take a while.

Opportunity:

Increasing healthcare investments in emerging economies

Due to shifting consumer demands, rising healthcare knowledge, and ageing populations, the healthcare sector in emerging nations is expanding quickly. This presents numerous prospects for medical tubing in the healthcare and medical device sectors. The market in developing nations is expanding primarily as a result of economic expansion, rising government spending on healthcare facilities, and rising consumer purchasing power. The medical tubing market therefore has a lot of room to grow as a result of the general development and rising expenditure in healthcare infrastructure.

Threat:

Stringent and time consuming approval process

Medical product commercialisation is hampered by strict and laborious regulatory rules. As medical tubing comes into direct contact with the body, safety and the avoidance of health risks are important considerations for regulatory bodies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Science Foundation (NSF), Drug Administration (DA), and Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). The time needed to complete the approval process and the regulatory criteria vary by area. Additionally, the approval procedure differs depending on the category of medical devices.

Covid-19 Impact

There are several uses for medical tubing, including bulk disposable tubing, catheters and canellas, medication delivery systems, and specialised uses. The Covid-19 pandemic led to a surge in the usage of medical devices in the healthcare sector. The epidemic caused the market for medical tubing to expand at an unprecedented rate. The need for breathing tubes, IV tubes, drug delivery tubes, and other tubes increased. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic's high level of contagiousness, the length of IV tubing was increased in the hospital and placed outside the patient rooms.

The rubber segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), Silicone, Polyurethane (PU), Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), and Latex are further sub-segments of the rubber market main segment of type. When compared to alternative materials, such as natural rubber, which is more biocompatible than rubber medical tubes and doesn't give people allergies, silicone offers many advantages. It also has high dimensional stability and is immune to a variety of environmental elements, including chemicals, heat, UV radiation, and X-rays. Due to its low surface energy and resistance to adhesion, platinum-cured silicone tubing is produced for important pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Thus, the rubber segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period.

The bulk disposals segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

According to application, the bulk disposable tubing is anticipated to have the greatest CAGR in the medical tubing market during the forecast period. The requirement for a growing healthcare infrastructure, infection control, and the demand for more efficiency are the main growth drivers for the bulk disposable tubing market. Growing economies, higher levels of disposable income and purchasing power, and more government spending on high-quality healthcare facilities are all contributing to the growth in developing nations. Bulk disposable tubing includes IV infusion tubes, medicine delivery disposables, respiratory disposables, dialysis products, laboratory disposables, and wound management disposables. It also includes tubes used in blood bags for blood transfusion.

Region with highest share:

According to regional data, North America's medical tubing industry accounted for the greatest revenue share. The presence of strong healthcare facilities is the main factor promoting the growth of this region. National Health Expenditure is reported by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) (NHE). Better healthcare treatment and care are now available as a result of rising government spending on enhancing the healthcare infrastructure and the dominance of health insurance corporations. This is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the healthcare sector and therefore boost demand for medical tubes.

Region with highest CAGR:

Due to a considerable increase in population and a rapid rise in consumer per capita income, the Asia Pacific market is anticipated to see a high revenue CAGR over the forecast period. The Gross National Income (GNI) of China is anticipated to increase middle-class consumers' ability to pay for better medical care. In addition, it is anticipated that high population expansion would lead to a greater increase in the elderly population. The senior population's increasing need for medical tubes to give fluids and medications is anticipated to fuel market revenue growth.
