The global Medical Engineered Materials Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 19.66 billion in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 14.3% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Medical engineered materials are specially engineered or modified materials used for medical applications. These materials possess various advantages such as biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, high strength and durability which make them suitable for medical implants, wound healing fabrics and tissue engineering. The increasing use of these materials in new medical devices and novel applications is driving the market growth.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the medical engineered materials market is the rising demand for bioresorbable materials. Bioresorbable materials break down or dissolve harmlessly in the body overtime once implanted and the need for removal surgeries is eliminated. For example, bioresorbable stents made from polymers degrade in the body within 3 years eliminating the need for another surgery. Due to their biocompatible and biodegradable properties, bioresorbable materials are gaining popularity for various medical applications.
Segment Analysis:
The global medical engineered materials market is segmented based on material type, application and region. Based on material type, the market is segmented into metals, polymers, ceramics and other materials. Among these, polymers segment dominates the market and capturedaround 45% share in 2022 due to high usage of plastics in medical devices manufacturing. Polymers impart properties like lightweight, flexibility and durability to medical devices which enhance the patient comfort.
