About Medical Polymers
Polymers are composed of many repeated subunits of monomer. Polymers find a wide range of applications in the medical industry, including implants, diagnostic systems, and accessories. Medical polymers are lighter in weight as compared with other counterparts such as metals and thus, are preferred for lightweight applications. In addition, biodegradable polymers also eliminate the need for repeated surgery in case of implants for removing the implanted device. The global medical polymers market is anticipated to grow at CAGR of 8.15% during the forecast period.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global medical polymers market to grow at a CAGR of 8.15% during the period 2017-2021.
