“Amidst the recent current Covid-19 virus outbreak, medical tubes are playing a pivotal role in assisting healthcare providers in tackling the global pandemic”

Medical Tubing Market Report Overview:

The medical tubing market or medical tubes market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% to reach USD 14.7 billion by 2027 from USD 8.5 billion in 2020. The major demand for medical tubing is attributed to their increasing usage in various applications such as drug delivery, catheter & cannulas, bulk disposable tubing, and special application. Medical tubing manufactured from plastics is increasingly being used to deliver fluids to the body and vice versa. They majorly find applications in catheters, IVs, and respiratory equipment such as ventilators. Some types of medical tubing need to be custom manufactured with multiple chambers or cores according to the needs and specifications are given by the healthcare providers which also depend on the medication needs of the patients.

Medical-grade plastics are largely used in the production of medical tubing or medical tubes. These tubes are produced separately using plastic extrusion methods to ensure the maximum level of hygiene and safety. Medical tubing is a very critical component in the global fight against the Covid-19 pandemic on account of its increasing usage in ICU applications for treating patients who require ventilators and other respiratory equipment. Ventilators are critical in ensuring the continuity of oxygen supply to a patient infected by Covid-19. The Medical tubing market or the medical tubes market received a tremendous boost on account of the current Covid-19 pandemic as these are used to make critical healthcare equipment used for treating Covid-19 patients.

The other factors leading to the growing medical tubing market or medical tubes market include increased government spending on healthcare programs, increasing strategic alliances within the medical device industry, and easy availability of cost-competitive medical-grade plastics.
