Medical processing seals are specifically developed to prevent contamination and produce seals capable of withstanding a wide range of process media, potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and aggressive cleaning regimes.
Medical seals are used to prevent potential leakages when liquids or gases are pumped, drained, transferred, contained, evacuated, or dispensed. Medical processing seals can be found in various medical devices, respiratory equipment, drug delivery devices, insulin pumps, surgical power tools, clinical blood pumps, dialysis and respiratory apparatus, centrifuge drive units, pipettes and syringes, oxygen cylinders, connectors, and fluid transfer units. However, environmental related issues regarding decomposition is still a major restraint for the medical processing seals market.
Covid-19 Impact Analysis
- The coronavirus's unfavorable global effects are already evident, and they will have a big impact on the medical processing seals in 2020.
- The World Health Organization has declared a public health emergency after the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019. The disease has spread to over 100 nations and resulted in massive deaths all across the world. Exports & Imports, global manufacturing, tourism, and financial sectors have all been heavily damaged.
- The downward pressure on the global economy, which had previously shown signs of improvement, has escalated once more. The outbreak of the virus has added danger factors to the international economy's already sluggish development. Many international groups have stated that the global economy is experiencing its most difficult moment since the financial crisis.
- The lockdown has resulted in hampering the imports and exports of various goods. Also, the uncertainty created in the medical processing seals market in the consumers’ buying pattern has resulted in hampering of the medical processing seals.
Top Impacting Factors
The overall medical processing seals market is witnessing an abundant growth because of escalating demand for the product in the medical sector, technological breakthroughs, and abundant popularity in APAC, mainly across India, South Korea, and the Southeast Asian nations. Also, the thriving healthcare sector in the region is foreseen to boost the demand for medical equipment & devices, thereby influencing medical processing seals market sales. With massive use of silicone in the medical processing deals, the markets are likely to gain traction over the years ahead. Additionally, silicone does not support bacterial growth and hence it can be used with human cells and body fluids, thereby further proliferating the expansion of medical processing seals market over the years ahead. The growing usage of advanced equipment such as respiratory equipment catheter, and anesthesia equipment in the healthcare industry will have a favorable impact on the progression of the medical processing seal’s market.
Market trends
- Growing population and healthcare infrastructures is a key driver for the medical processing seals market.
- The increasing global demand for medical equipment due to growth of the healthcare industry and healthcare infrastructure is expected to drive the market. Medical equipment is used in the medical industry for a life support system and to release the patient from chronic pain. Reasons for the growing healthcare industry and the subsequent growth of medical equipment market are growing global population, rising incidences of chronic diseases, and increasing healthcare expenditure. The growing demand for seals in the medical equipment application is expected to drive the medical processing seals market.
- Advanced superior qualities of silicone is a major factor for the market growth.
- Silicone is highly preferred material for the medical sealing application, as it is highly compatible with human tissue and body fluids as compared to other elastomers. Also, silicone does not support bacteria growth which makes it highly suitable for devices that have close contact with the human body. Another important material used in medical devices is liquid silicone rubber (LSR). LSR is used in different critical medical applications such as cardiology, oncology, and orthopedics, and others.
- Changing lifestyles and advancement in healthcare industry is also helping the market to prosper.
- Mounting demand for new pharma manufacturing devices and continuous focus on research activities for creating new products will create lucrative avenues of market expansion in the years ahead. In addition to this, technological breakthroughs will enhance the product popularity in the coming years. Thriving healthcare sector is projected to open new facades of growth for pharmaceutical processing seals industry over the assessment period. Furthermore, surge in the incidences of chronic disorders as well as changing lifestyles of the population across the globe due to hectic work schedule will prompt the expansion of the business in the coming years.
