Biodegradable Medical Plastics Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape

The increasing preference for sustainable products are notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the high manufacturing cost may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key Biodegradable Medical Plastics Market Driver

Increasing preference for sustainable products is the key factor driving the growth of the global biodegradable medical plastics market. Plastics are widely used by manufacturers to create various types of medical products. Hospitals generate large amounts of waste, including medical plastics. Handling large amounts of waste is a complex process. Hospitals typically dispose of hazardous waste and send the rest to landfills. If hospitals switched to single-use, biodegradable products, most of the waste they generated would be better handled. Environmental awareness and sustainability are becoming key priorities among today's consumers, forcing manufacturers and end users to adopt sustainable solutions.

Several countries around the world are also working to eliminate the use of plastic in various industries, including healthcare. Biodegradable medical plastics are sustainable as they are manufactured using renewable biomass sources, such as vegetable fats and oils, straw, corn starch, woodchips, and food waste. Unlike conventional medical plastics, biodegradable medical plastics degrade completely and quickly without any hazardous emissions. The sustainable nature of biodegradable medical plastics will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Significant Biodegradable Medical Plastics Market Trends

Rising use of biodegradable composite materials for implants is the primary trend shaping the biodegradable medical plastics market. Implants play an important role in supporting the bone until it heals. Metal devices used as implants usually remain in the patient's body. This creates further problems as additional surgery may be required to remove the device. This has increased the demand for biodegradable implants that are gradually resorbed by the body as the bone healing process progresses. Biodegradable composites replace metal in implants used for the internal fixation of fractures. Biodegradable ceramic composites are also used in medical applications. These composites consist of ceramic fillers incorporated into polymer matrices.

Some of the most common biodegradable ceramic composites are silica-based and calcium phosphate-based. Silica-based composites offer high biocompatibility, bio-resorption, and porosity. Calcium phosphate-based composites are widely used as bone graft substitutes, especially because of the similarities of their chemical composition with the mineral phase of the bone. Such factors are likely to increase the demand for biodegradable composite materials, which, in turn, will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Major Biodegradable Medical Plastics Market Challenge

High manufacturing cost is a major challenge impeding the growth of the global biodegradable medical plastics market. Biodegradable medical plastics are expensive compared to conventional medical plastics, which can pose a major challenge to market growth. The main reason for the high price of biodegradable medical plastics is the limited availability of bio-based renewable raw materials such as corn starch, vegetable fats and oils, straw, food waste, and woodchips. In recent years, the price of vegetable oils, such as palm oil, has risen. For instance, the price of palm oil in Malaysia increased by around 68.54% in October 2021 when compared to the previous year. The volatility in the prices of renewable raw materials, such as corn and sugarcane, also adds to the high price of biodegradable medical plastics.

In addition, the production process of biodegradable medical plastic materials from agro-based raw materials is very complex. The cost of R&D makes up for a major share of investment in biodegradable medical plastics and has an impact on material and product prices. Such a rise in raw material prices will increase production costs of biodegradable medical plastics, thereby reducing the profit margin of vendors. Hence, vendors are forced to pass on these costs to end-users by raising the prices. This might negatively affect the market during the forecast period.

The medical devices segment was valued at USD 183.42 million in 2017 and continued to grow by 2021Biodegradable implants are widely used in surgical applications, including joint replacements, fracture fixation, and repairing the defects of bones, tendons, and ligaments. There is significant adoption of biodegradable implants for orthopedic surgeries owing to their benefits over non-biodegradable stainless implants. A fractured bone fixated with a stainless-steel implant can refracture upon removal of the implant. However, a biodegradable polymer implant can be engineered to degrade at a rate that slowly transfers the load to the healing bone, which reduces the chances of refracturing. The use of biodegradable polymer implants also eliminates the need for a second surgery for the removal of the implant after bone healing. Hence, owing to the abovementioned benefits, the demand for biodegradable medical implants is expected to grow rapidly.
