The global medical grade silicone rubber market size is estimated to reach USD 1.1 billion by 2030, registering to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2025 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing medical industry coupled with increasing healthcare expenditure across the world is projected to fuel the global market during the forecast period. The market is projected to register substantial growth due to the rising adoption of silicone rubber for prosthetics and implants, disposables, catheter, surgical instruments, and drug delivery systems.
Properties such as low toxicity, excellent biocompatibility, stain-resistant, extreme temperature applications (from -55°C to 230°C), flexible and durable, resistance to weathering and oxidation, excellent resistance to chemicals, superior dielectric, and insulation characteristics are propelling the product demand in medical applications. In Asia Pacific, the market is anticipated to progress at a CAGR of 7.3% over the forecast period. Increasing expenditure of various governments on public and private health systems are expected to positively impact the regional market growth.
The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing government's efforts to improve public access to healthcare services at affordable prices. Increasing government expenditure to improve infrastructure and accessibility in rural and urban areas is expected to drive the demand for medical devices and components, which, in turn, is expected to augment product demand over the forecast period. Moreover, the recent outbreak of COVID-19 in countries such as India, China, Australia, Japan, and Malaysia are creating huge product demand, especially in disposable, catheter application. Thus, the rising positive cases in the region are projected to significantly drive market growth.
High consistency rubber is anticipated to progress at a substantial growth rate over the forecast period. It is widely used in various applications such as balloon catheters, molded medical device parts, and extruded tubing. Properties such as excellent resistance to extreme weather conditions, high viscosity, and consistency are expected to propel demand in these applications.
