Market Overview:
The global radiopaque plastics market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for catheters, surgical tools, and radiation shielding applications. Additionally, the growing awareness about the benefits of using radiopaque plastics is also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, thermoplastic type is expected to account for a larger share of the global radiopaque plastics market than thermoset type during the forecast period. Thermoplastic type offers several advantages over thermoset type such as better processability and lower manufacturing costs. These factors are likely to contribute significantly towards its higher adoption rate in various applications such as catheters and surgical tools.
Product Definition:
Radiopaque plastics are materials that do not allow x-rays to pass through them, making them visible on an x-ray image. This quality is important in medical applications where it is necessary to be able to see objects clearly on an x-ray. For example, radiopaque plastics are often used in dental fillings and implants so that the dentist can see them clearly on an x-ray image.
Thermoplastic Type:
Thermoplastic type is a category of plastic materials that can be re-molded or reshaped after being initially manufactured. Thermoplastics such as polyether ketone (PEEK) and polyether ether ketone (PEEK) are examples of thermoplastic types that have applications in medical devices, drug delivery systems, catheters & stents, surgical instruments and prosthetic limbs among others.
Thermoset Type:
Thermoset or thermosetting plastics are synthetic materials that are mixtures of resin and plasticizer. They do not return to their original state on being heated and henceforth cannot be remolded. Thermoset plastics include polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy, phenolic resin among others.
Application Insights:
The global radiopaque plastics market is segmented on the basis of application into catheters, surgical tools, radiation shielding and others. The catheters segment held the largest share in 2017 due to increasing use of these products for angiography procedures. Angiography is a diagnostic test used by cardiology to look at blood vessels in the heart. It involves injection of a dye into arteries and veins so that they can be seen with an x-ray image camera.
Radiation shielding was another prominent application as these plastics prevent harmful effects caused by exposure to radiation during medical imaging or nuclear medicine procedures such as MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) and CTA (computerized tomographic angiography). Other applications include implants for pacemakers & implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD), stents, artificial joints & teeth, shunts & urinary drainage systems among others.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global radiopaque plastics market in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its position during the forecast period. Increasing incidence of cardiovascular diseases and rising number of surgeries are some factors responsible for maintaining this dominance.
In Europe, countries such as Germany, France, Italy and Spain have a well-established healthcare sector which contributes significantly to economic growth as well as improvement in public health system & infrastructure across these countries.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for medical devices and implants
- Rising prevalence of chronic diseases
- Growing awareness about the benefits of using radiopaque plastics in medical procedures
- Technological advancements in the field of medical devices and implants
- Rising healthcare expenditure
