Styrenic polymers are a class of plastics that are used in the medical and healthcare industry in various applications such production of medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging. They are lightweight, water resistant and have excellent thermal and electrical insulation characteristics.
Styrenic polymers for medical application are classified according to product as polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), methyl – methacrylate butadiene styrene (MBS), methyl – methacrylate acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (MABS), styrene methyl – methacrylate (SMMA), styrene butadiene styrene (SBS), styrene ethylene butylene styrene (SEBS) and others (including unsaturated polyester resins (UPR), acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA), styrene isoprene butadiene styrene (SIBS), etc.). Polystyrene has the largest market share due to its application in manufacturing of medical devices.
The key drivers for styrenic polymers for medical application market is application of styrenic polymers as an alternative for PVC materials in healthcare sectors. The growing trend of replacing metal medical devices with devices made from medical plastics creates growth opportunities for medical polymers in general and styrenic polymers in particular. The styrenic polymers for medical application market is also expected to be fueled by high degree of product development and innovation. The key constraints of this market manufacturing cost of Styrenic Polymers and availability of cheaper substitutes such as PVC and polyethylene.
North America is the leading consumer of styrenic polymers for medical application. Asia Pacific is the fastest growing segment during the forecast period.
