2013 Asia-Pacific medical plastics market size of $ 171 million , is expected from 2013 to 2017 , the annual compound growth rate will reach 6.5% by 2017 will grow to $ 219 million .
Polyvinyl chloride PVC, polyethylene PE, polypropylene PP and PS Polystyrene is the most common medical plastics . Followed by silicone , thermoplastic elastomers, engineering plastics and high-performance polymers HPP.
Since the production of plastics more flexible , medical equipment manufacturers are gradually replacing the traditional production of plastic materials such as metal and glass . Compared to other industries, the health care industry less affected by the economic impact , which makes medical plastics demand continues to rise.
Australia , New Zealand and Southeast Asian markets vary widely , Australia and New Zealand markets and exports a large number of more complex technology , high-performance medical equipment. Southeast Asian markets underdeveloped , focusing on daily production of medical equipment, medical supplies such as medical gloves , surgical sterilization and other enclosed blinds . And try to encourage foreign investment in medical technology, to promote local production of medical devices .
Now, the countries in the region tend to standardize medical device regulations in order to create a better and more coherent system , which will affect the medical device industry , bring good influence to the manufacturer .
Market conditions
Medical equipment used in hospitals and is the home of Medical , surgical and therapeutic products . This study focuses on plastics used in medical devices , excluding packaging applications.
Asia-Pacific region, including Singapore, Malaysia , Thailand, Philippines , Indonesia, Vietnam, Australia and New Zealand.Sellotape
Plastics including polyvinyl chloride PVC, polyethylene PE, polypropylene PP, polystyrene PS, silicone , thermoplastic elastomers TPEs, engineering plastics and high-performance polymers HPP.
The main applications include medical plastic labware , medical catheter including a catheter , such as blood bags for medical bag , medical non-woven fabrics , syringes , breathing apparatus , equipment enclosures , other applications such as medical gloves , sealants , wound care .
2013 , from a regional perspective, the dominant medical plastics sales in Southeast Asia , accounting for 63.6% of the entire Asia-Pacific region. With local demand for medical plastics for medical technology investments and increased market share in 2017 is expected to further increase the proportion of Southeast Asia , the major producers will continue to expand the scale of production .
From the point of view by type of polymer , polyvinyl chloride used as a material widely used in disposable medical supplies , such as the production of infusion bags and infusion tube , the demand is still growing , but the growth rate is lower than polyolefin. PP is mainly used for the production of disposable syringes , will expand its market share in other disposable medical plastic . As an alternative to polyvinyl chloride , the demand will increase. From the point of view of sales channels , direct sales approach is the most important , accounting for 75% of pharmaceutical companies and distributors each accounted for 5% and 25 %.
Three factors driving the market growth
Economic enhance attention to health care , promote the growth of the medical device market.
Southeast Asian countries are expected strong growth in health care spending will achieve double growth. With an aging population and increased population growth , will promote investment in medical equipment industry. For the health care industry has become more standardized policies and regulations , along with increased health care costs and concerns the quality of medical devices has become particularly important. With economic growth in Asian countries , is increasing its investment in the healthcare market . The level of per capita health care spending in North America and the Asia-Pacific region is much lower than in Europe , but with the growing importance of national health and happiness satisfaction, per capita health spending is increasing.
More medical equipment producing companies to enter the Southeast Asian market , its overall scale and lower production costs.
Asia-Pacific medical device industry is export-oriented , with the increase in manpower and production costs , many large manufacturers have migrated their production base. After China , the new Southeast Asian economies such as Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines to become the production base of many European and American multinationals. More medical device companies want to move their business to these countries , low production costs , so that the region becomes more attractive. In addition , the local government is actively working to reduce costs and eliminate trade barriers , promote medical equipment trade.
Improved living standards , increasing disposable income , pushing demand for medical services .Masking tape
In the past 20 years , Asia-Pacific consumer attitudes to health regimen tremendous change, which is mainly due to economic development and living standards and education levels increase. More and more consumers and patients are willing to understand the medical industry , and are willing to purchase health care services, such as self- diagnostic tool.
Three limiting factors
Compared to more developed markets of Europe and North America , the Asia-Pacific region lacks normative .
In addition to Australia and New Zealand region , most other Asia-Pacific countries are unregulated . In addition , the existing regulations are very different among countries , many of disposable medical supplies such as gloves and syringes , etc., produced some of the local SMEs , and not under close supervision. In order to reduce costs and increase profits , medical equipment OEMs help of non-medical use of plastics ratings may cause security problems. This approach may cause consumers to reduce mistrust and raw material suppliers to secure the profits of medical equipment , and ultimately restrict the development of the entire market
ASEAN is working to standardize medical equipment production , but its impact will likely be reflected in 2017 after .Washi tape
Rating polymer and non-medical use of alternative materials .
ASEAN regional production volume but low quality , disposable medical supplies such as medical bandages and the like did not receive good supervision. Industry rating polymers in Southeast Asia makes the application concerns .
In addition, many countries still use latex gloves and production of medical infusion devices. Considerations allergic to latex , the more developed regions is more artificial material instead of rubber . But the vast majority of the Asian population are not allergic to latex , so no clear trend to replace materials .
In the long run, with sound and high quality of life in the pursuit of the development of medical technology and medical equipment regulations rating polymers and non-medical use of alternative materials , there is not much impact on the domestic and export markets.Wholesale masking tape
