Polymeric Biomaterials Witness Widespread Use Across Industries

0
1K

Biopolymeric materials find extensive applications in medical devices, tissue engineering, drug delivery, and others due to their excellent biocompatibility and tunable physicochemical properties. Some of the key factors driving the market growth include the rising geriatric population, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, growing medical devices industry, and technological advancements in the field of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.

The medical devices segment dominated the global biopolymeric materials industry in 2021 and accounted for over 55% of the total revenue share. Polymeric Biomaterials  This can be attributed to the wide utilization of polymers like silicone, polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in various medical devices such as catheters, implants, prostheses, and bandages. Additionally, polymers find increasing application in the manufacturing of sutures, stents, surgical tools, testing equipment, and disposable hospital supplies that are seeing amplified demand with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

North America captured the largest market share in 2021 owing to factors such as rapid technological advancements, growing medical devices industry, presence of leading market players, and rising prevalence of chronic disorders. However, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR during the forecast timeline on account of improving healthcare infrastructure, increasing medical tourism, rising geriatric population, and growing research activities in the field of regenerative medicine.

Commonly used polymeric biomaterials

Some of the most commonly used biopolymeric materials and their key properties and applications include:

- Silicone: Excellent biostability and oxygen permeability. Used in implants, controlled drug delivery, medical tubing, and prosthetics.

- Polyurethane: Superior mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Used in cardiovascular implants, catheters, medical tubing, and tissue engineering scaffolds.

- Polyethylene: Non-toxic, chemically inert, and offers moisture barrier properties. Used in prosthetics, sutures, and medical grade tubing.

- Polypropylene: Cost-effective, hydrophilic, and lightweight. Used in surgical tools and equipment, appliances, and filters.

- PTFE: Robust, extremely durable, and resistant to chemicals. Used as vascular grafts, sutures, dental floss, and implant coatings.

- PET: High tensile strength, transparency, moisture barrier and chemical resistance. Used as synthetic skin, bone scaffolds, and healthcare packaging.

- Hydrogels: Excellent biocompatibility and ability to retain high water content. Used as contact lenses, wound dressings, and drug delivery matrices.

- Polyureas: Thermoplastic elastomers with high abrasion resistance and flexibility. Used in catheters, medical balloons, and prosthetics.
