The Global Medical Tubing Market size is expected to reach $19.1 billion by 2031, rising at a market growth of 8.2% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2023, the market attained a volume of 3,858.20 kilo tonnes, experiencing a growth of 19.4% (2020-2023).
Polyolefin tubing is utilized in enteral feeding systems to administer liquid nutrition directly into the gastrointestinal tract of patients who cannot consume food orally. Thus, the Polyolefin tubing segment acquired $1,359.4 million revenue in 2023. The smooth, non-reactive surface of polyolefin tubing minimizes the risk of interactions with enteral formulas and facilitates the passage of fluids without clogging or obstruction.
Organ-on-a-chip platforms replicate the physiological functions of human organs on miniature microfluidic devices, which require intricate networks of microchannels to mimic the vasculature and fluid dynamics within the body. Therefore, the market is expanding significantly due to the emergence of organ-on-a-chip technologies.
Additionally, healthcare providers increasingly prioritize patient-centered care models that meet patients' needs, preferences, and goals. Personalized medical tubing solutions support patient-centric care by enhancing patient comfort, facilitating self-management, and promoting adherence to treatment regimens, improving patient satisfaction and healthcare outcomes. Thus, because of the rising customization and personalization, the market is anticipated to increase significantly.
However, Cost containment measures may incentivize manufacturers to cut costs by reducing product quality, research, and innovation investments. Lower-priced medical tubing products may compromise quality, performance, or durability, increasing the risk of product failures, recalls, and adverse patient outcomes. Thus, price pressure and cost containment can slow down the growth of the market.
