“The FEP heat shrink medical tubing market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period.”
The FEP heat shrink medical tubing market size was estimated at USD 103 million in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 146 million in 2024, at a CAGR of 7.2%. The high growth is attributed to a combination of factors, chief among them is the growing adoption of minimally invasive surgeries and increasing incidences of chronic diseases due to changing lifestyles and rapidly expanding geriatric population, which have led to the growth of high-quality medical devices, especially micro catheters; this has led to the growth in consumption of FEP heat shrink medical tubes globally.
“Drug delivery devices (catheters)—the largest application in the overall FEP heat shrink medical tubing market.”
The Drug delivery devices (catheter) application is the largest and fastest-growing application area for FEP heat shrink medical tubes. This growth is attributed to the rising demand for microcatheter applications. Micro catheters are specialized, thin-walled, small-bore catheters or delivery/access devices that are used during minimally invasive surgical procedures. They are useful for the navigation, access, and delivery of a surgical device or a drug to the target site. FEP heat shrink medical tubes are chemically inert, possess high thermal resistance, and moisture resistant; these factors make FEP tubes as a better choice than other fluoropolymer materials.
“1.6:1 shrink ratio is the fastest-growing shrink ratio segment in the FEP heat shrink medical tubing market.”
The shrink ratio of 1.6:1 is the largest and fastest-growing shrink ratio in the industry. The shrink ratio of 1.6:1 is preferred in the medical industry as it covers a broader range of component shapes and sizes and can cover more irregular shaped parts, the 1.6:1 shrink tubing have higher shrinkage capacity which allows it to cover more area easily. Thus, it is preferred by the industry.
