2018 medical device industry forecast and outlook

The medical plastics market expands and high-performance plastics will further replace metals

Nowadays, in addition to traditional disposable plastic materials such as disposable consumables, more and more surgical instruments, implanted products, medical equipment, etc. have begun to adopt or partially use plastic as a raw material. Although traditional metal products still dominate in medical equipment, their performance and user experience are lost to plastic products. 2017 is a year of great success for medical plastics. In the future, more high-performance plastics will inevitably further replace metals.
