Medical Polyoxymethylene (POM) Market Insights, 2025: Medical Polyoxymethylene (POM) – Key Drivers and Opportunities

Medical-grade polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as acetal, is experiencing strong market growth due to its high stiffness, low friction, and excellent chemical resistance. It is widely used in precision medical components such as inhalers, insulin pens, surgical instruments, and diagnostic devices. The growing demand for durable and autoclavable plastic components in medical and pharmaceutical applications is a major driver for POM adoption. Companies such as DuPont, BASF, and Polyplastics are focusing on developing high-purity, low-emission POM grades tailored for medical and healthcare applications.

Opportunities exist in the expansion of self-lubricating POM materials that enhance the performance of moving medical components while reducing maintenance needs. The growing trend of home healthcare and wearable medical devices is also driving demand for lightweight, high-strength polymers like POM. Additionally, the increasing adoption of precision drug delivery systems, such as auto-injectors and metered-dose inhalers, presents opportunities for manufacturers to develop specialized POM formulations with enhanced biocompatibility and dimensional stability. Regulatory shifts toward BPA-free and phthalate-free medical plastics are also creating a market for next-generation, eco-friendly POM variants.
