Segmentation
The global medical plastics market has been bifurcated into type, application, and region. By type, the global plastics market has been categorized as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), engineering plastics, polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), silicones, and others. Among which PP holds the largest market share and expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. This is owing to PP being the most neutral plastic over others in the segment consisting only carbon and hydrogen. It is followed by PVC, which can be easily sterilized and re-used with steam, ethylene oxide, and radiation, but its usage is falling due to safety risk and environmental issues. Based on application, the global medical plastics market has been segregated into disposables, drug delivery devices, diagnostic instruments, catheters, surgical instruments, and others. Among which the disposable segment accounts for the significant market share owing to the developing prominence of the medical devices such as hypodermic needles, cleaning gloves, and disposable enemas bags.

Regional Analysis
The global medical plastics market has been categorized as five regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. The Asia-pacific is expected to be the largest and the fastest-growing region in the global medical plastics market during the review period. The countries such as China and India are investing in their healthcare sector, which is attributed to the increase in population, GDP growth has improved the living standard of the individuals and awareness about early diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, a high number of geriatric population in the region is adding to the overall growth of medical plastics in the regional market. North America holds the second-largest share in the global medical plastics market owing to the stringent government policies over usage of plastic in different segments, the medical sector in the region is shifting towards the disposable plastics as they have a high use in the field with applications in product such as surgical cables, tubing, orthopedic sutures, inhalation masks, catheters, among others. Moreover, high investment in the R&D sector, innovating in medical plastics for more considerable aids to the healthcare industry. For instance, researchers are working on temporary artificial hearts, dummy organs for practice procedures. Hence, fueling the overall growth of the global medical plastic in the regional market. Europe has a prominent share in the global medical plastic market attributing to the fact that the healthcare sector is improvising continuously for improving the quality of life of the amputees and making their life more comfortable and easier. Medical plastic can be personalized from the process like injection molding, which plays a crucial role in the generation of prosthetics, also making them durable and lightweight. The Middle East & Africa is expected to witness steady growth in the global medical plastic market because of high private sector investment in the healthcare industry and increasing reforms such as mandatory insurance. The global medical plastic market in Latin America is growing at a gradual rate with its growing healthcare industry.
