Product Definition:
Medical Flexible Foam is a type of foam used in medical settings. It is often used as a cushion or to provide support.
Polymer:
Polymer is a long-chain molecule, which can be either synthetic or natural. The most commonly used polymers are Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), and Polystyrene (PS). These three polymers have been extensively used in the manufacturing of medical flexible foams.
Medical flexible foam is a type of polymer that has many beneficial properties such as it's lightweight, durable, recyclable & reusable and offers high insulation.
Latex:
Latex is a highly elastic polymer, derived from the pulp of the rubber tree and has been used for many years in various applications. It is also known as chloroprene, which was first developed by Charles Goodyear in 1839. The medical industry uses it to make surgical gloves and other products such as examination gowns, patient mattresses & sheets, hospital bed covers & accessories among others.
It's properties such as high tensile strength.
Application Insights:
Bedding and cushion application segment led the global medical flexible foam market in 2017. This is attributed to increasing demand for bedding and cushion products from various end-use industries, such as furniture and mattress manufacturing. In addition, growing health awareness among consumers is expected to boost the demand for new bedding products with enhanced comfort features over the forecast period.
Medical packaging application segment is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising use of flexible foams in packaging medical devices, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, blood samples/specimens and other healthcare supplies on a commercial level. The product provides protection against physical damage without adding excess weight or cost compared with paper or plastic materials used traditionally for this purpose. These advantages are expected to drive its demand in medical equipment packaging applications over the next few years.
Regional Analysis:
North America was the largest regional market in 2017 owing to high demand from various application industries. The U.S., which is the major consumer, has a well-established healthcare sector and thus, high demand from this region is expected over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is projected to be one of the fastest growing regions during the forecast years on account of rapid economic growth in emerging countries such as China and India along with other South East Asian nations.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for medical flexible foam in the orthopedic and spinal surgery procedures.
- Rising geriatric population base is expected to fuel the growth of medical flexible foam market over the forecast period.
- Growing awareness about benefits of using medical flexible foam products is anticipated to propel the market growth during the forecast period.
