Medical Tubing Market Growth Driven by the Increasing Number of Minimally Invasive Surgeries Worldwide

 


Medical tubes are intrinsic part of various medical devices, used drug delivery systems, in the manufacturing of catheters and cannulas, dialysis, and intravenous tubing. These tubes are inserted into the body through nose, mouth, or skin to deliver oxygen, drugs, anesthesia, or any other fluid. Medical tubes have exceptional chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties, and are used in a wide range of minimally invasive critical applications such as drug delivery, stent delivery systems, cardiovascular catheters, and urological retrieval devices. Therefore, with the increasing number of minimally invasive surgeries, demand for medical tubes is also increasing with a rapid pace, driving the growth of the Medical Tubing Market.

For example, in June 2021, Preceptis Medical announced the launch of its second-generation Hummingbird tympanostomy tube system for office-based pediatric ear tube procedures. The Hummingbird enables surgeons to deliver an ear tube with a single pass, which is an important improvement over conventional instruments and allows for efficient and predictable placement. Moreover, due to the continuous development of new and innovative products, the demand for or adoption of medical tubing for minimally invasive surgeries has also increased.

Materials such as thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyester, bioabsorbable polymers, polycarbonate (PC), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and silicone are used in medical and pharmaceutical applications, such as feeding tubes, catheter, peristaltic pump tubing, urological retrieval devices, among others. Market players are also focusing on advancements of raw materials of medical tubing, as the materials vary with application and chemical nature of the drug. This in turn is also expected to augment the growth of the Medical Tubing Market.

For example, in February 2019, Confluent Medical launched the High-Performance Nitinol Tubing Center of Excellence in response to increasing market demand for High-Performance Nitinol Tubing in challenging applications such as Transcatheter Heart Valves, Neurovascular, Electrophysiology, and Interventional Pulmonary. Moreover, the growth of the Medical Tubing Market is driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease, worldwide, especially in the North America and the Asia Pacific. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide.

However, side effects associated with the materials used in manufacturing of medical tubing, high initial investment, and time required for product development are some major factors expected to restrain the growth of the medical tubing market.
