With the passage of time, the demand for medical polymers is anticipated to increase. Greater preference for home healthcare treatments and a growing geriatric population also boosts the demand for medical polymers. The TMR report segments the global medical polymers market on the basis of product types, application, and geography. Biodegradable plastics, medical elastomers, and fibers and resins are the key types of products that dominate the global medical polymers market. In 2013, the segment of fibers and resins held the largest share in the overall market. The biodegradable plastics market is expected to grow robustly during the forecast period.
The demand for biocompatible materials is likely to gain momentum in the forthcoming years owing to their increasing applicability in implants. Application-wise, the global medical polymers market is categorized into medical packaging, medical devices and equipment, and others. 
With a share of more than 40%, North America was the largest player in the medical polymers market in 2013. Europe holds the second highest share of this market after North America. Ongoing trends, however, indicate that Asia Pacific will witness rapid growth in demand for medical polymers in the forthcoming years. Some of the factors that will stimulate the demand for medical polymers in the Asia Pacific market are high demand in China and India owing to stringent regulations of the healthcare product market.
