The global medical grade silicone market is mainly driven by the growing demand for medical devices made from non-flammable, safe substances that will not interfere with the medication being prescribed to the respective patient. Medical grade silicone is a highly malleable, plastic material that can be molded into almost any shape, making it perfect for applications such as feeding and catheter tubes, drains, etc. Medical grade silicone is also highly unreactive to chemicals such as strong acids and bases, making it important for use in medical devices, where contact with fairly strong chemicals is par for the course. The growing healthcare sector in a number of countries across the world is thus likely to be a major driver for the global medical grade silicon market over the forecast period. As the healthcare sector has grown, the demand for various medical devices and accessories has grown tremendously. This is likely to remain a major driver for the global medical grade silicone market over the forecast period.
Medical grade silicone is also widely used in medical implants and prosthetics. This is also likely to be a key driver for the global medical grade silicone market over the forecast period, as the growing geriatric population is likely to push the demand for medical implants and prosthetics in the coming years. Growing demand for medical grade silicone in prosthetics and orthopaedics is likely to be a major driver for the global medical grade silicone market. The increasing technological development in the dentistry sector is also likely to drive the demand for substances such as medical grade silicones, which are effective ingredients in medical tapes and adhesives used in attaching crowns and other dental prosthetics. The field of dental prosthetics is likely to be highly profitable for the global medical grade silicone market, as the demand for dentistry procedures is likely to increase in the coming years due to the growing awareness among the end users.
