Covid-19 Impact on Medical Grade Silicone Rubber Market

Medical Grade Silicone Rubber Market: Introduction

• Medical grade silicone rubber contains polymers of different chain lengths. It always comprises a principal silicon oxygen chain and an organic moiety bound to the silicon. Properties of medical grade silicone rubber vary greatly, depending on the organic groups and chemical structure.
• The main ingredients of medical grade silicone rubbers are unique raw silicone rubber gum and high-purity silica. Medical grade silicone rubber is utilized in instruments with critical functions, such as defibrillators, heart pumps, and surgical reconstructive components, which employ the biocompatible and hydrophobic properties of silicone.
• In terms of product, the global medical grade silicone rubber market can be segmented into liquid silicone rubber and high consistency rubber. The liquid silicone rubber segment is expected to expand at a significant pace during forecast period owing to its various beneficial properties, such as high bacterial and chemical resistance, excellent transparency, superior dielectric strength, and ability to function in extreme temperatures.

Key Drivers of Medical Grade Silicone Rubber Market

• Rise in demand for medical grade silicone rubber from various medical applications such as disposables, catheters, surgical instruments, prosthetics and implants, and drug delivery systems is expected to augment the market. Medical grade silicone rubbers possess fine hydrophobic and electrical properties, good chemical stability and flame retardancy, and superior resistance to heat and cold. These properties make them ideal for medical applications such as disposables, catheters, surgical instruments, prosthetics and implants, and drug delivery systems.
• Increase in global healthcare expenditure is projected to boost the consumption of medical grade silicone rubber during the forecast period. Healthcare spending is rising across the globe due to an increase in awareness about healthcare and a rise in the demand for advanced healthcare services. Additionally, consistent rise in patient population due to an increase in the number of road accidents and chronic diseases is expected to fuel the need for surgeries, which in turn is boosting the demand for medical grade silicone rubber in surgical instrument applications.

Restraints of Medical Grade Silicone Rubber Market

• Volatility in prices of raw materials is projected to hamper the global medical grade silicone rubber market. Raw materials such as silicone rubbers, silicone rubber gum, and high-purity silica are used in the preparation of clear encapsulation materials. Prices of these raw materials are fluctuating, as the supply chain has been disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Demand for these raw materials is witnessing volatility, which in turn significantly affects their prices.
• Dearth of universal directives pertaining to applications of medical grade silicone rubber is also likely to hamper the market in the near future. Every country has different directives and legislations pertaining to the use of medical grade silicone rubber. Companies find it difficult to comply with these country-wise directives and legislations. This can discourage investment in the medical grade silicone rubber market and subsequently, restrain the market.
