Medical Styrenic Block Copolymer Market size to surpass USD 1.2 billion by 2032

Medical Styrenic Block Copolymer Market size is anticipated to be worth over USD 1.2 billion by 2032, as per a recent research report announced by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

Based on the analysis, the increased emphasis on minimizing the use of PVC-based materials in medical devices and equipment will augment the demand for styrenic block copolymers across the medical sector.
 

PVC is widely integrated in a range of medical devices, such as gloves, nasal cannulas, catheters, enteral feeding devices, IV & blood bags, breathing circuits, oxygen masks, surgical gowns, blood bags, medical tubing, etc., due to its high durability, strength, flexibility, and ability to operate under high temperatures and harsh environments. The material is known for its superior biocompatibility, ease of processing, recyclability, resilience, and affordability.
 

However, the escalating efforts toward evaluating more biologically and environmentally friendly polymers have resulted in the emergence of several high-performance alternatives such as Styrene-ethylene butylene-styrene (SEBS) copolymer rubbers, SEBS/polypropylene blends, etc. The ongoing replacement of low-durometer, plasticized PVC in medical devices where biocompatibility holds utmost significance will positively influence the medical styrenic block copolymer through 2032.
 

Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene to gain traction due to exceptional durability

Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) segment is expected to amass more than USD 460 million by 2032, depicting a more than 6% CAGR throughout the projection period. Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene exhibit similar properties to that of rubber at room temperature and thus are primarily used in applications where high durability is critical. Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) is also extensively utilized in a range of medical devices, pharmaceutical packaging, medical bags, and tubes, driven by its easy availability, superior durability, and low-cost attributes, creating favorable growth prospects for the medical styrenic block copolymer market.
