Global Medical Polyoxymethylene (POM) Market Report
Medical Polyoxymethylene (POM) is a type of high-performance polymer that is used extensively in medical devices due to its excellent mechanical and chemical properties. It is also known as Acetal or Polyacetal and is derived from formaldehyde. POM is widely used in various medical devices such as valves, surgical instruments, drug delivery devices, and implants due to its high strength, resistance to wear and tear, and low friction.
The medical POM market is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for medical devices and the growing awareness of the benefits of using high-performance polymers in the healthcare sector. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders, is also expected to drive the demand for medical devices, which, in turn, will fuel the growth of the medical POM market.
The market for medical POM is segmented based on type, application, and geography. Based on type, the market is divided into two types: homopolymer and copolymer. The homopolymer type is widely used in medical applications due to its superior mechanical and thermal properties. Based on application, the market is segmented into surgical instruments, drug delivery devices, implants, and others. Among these, the surgical instruments segment is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years due to the increasing demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures.
While Medical Polyoxymethylene (POM) offers several advantages, it also has a few drawbacks that need to be considered before using it in medical applications. Some of the key drawbacks of POM in medical applications are: Not Suitable for High Temperature Applications: POM has a relatively low melting point and is not suitable for use in high-temperature applications. This limits its use in medical devices that require high-temperature resistance. Sensitivity to UV Radiation: POM is sensitive to UV radiation and may degrade when exposed to sunlight. This limits its use in medical devices that are exposed to sunlight or UV radiation. Difficult to Bond: POM is difficult to bond with other materials, which can make it challenging to manufacture complex medical devices that require bonding with other materials. Not Suitable for Implantable Devices: While POM is biocompatible, it is not suitable for use in implantable medical devices due to its low modulus of elasticity and potential for creep deformation over time. High Cost: POM is a relatively expensive material compared to other polymers, which can increase the cost of medical devices that use POM as a primary material.
Geographically, the medical POM market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. North America and Europe are the largest markets for medical POM, owing to the presence of a large number of medical device manufacturers in these regions. The Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the highest growth in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for medical devices and the growing healthcare industry in countries such as China and India.
The medical POM market is highly competitive, with several key players operating in the industry. Some of the major players in the market include Celanese Corporation, BASF SE, DuPont, Asahi Kasei Corporation, and Mitsubishi Engineering-Plastics Corporation. These companies are investing heavily in R&D activities to develop new and innovative products to meet the growing demand from the healthcare industry.
