Copper has gathered massive traction in medical tubing applications on account of their array of promising physical properties particularly durability and flexibility. These properties enable the manufacturers in the medical copper tubing market to meet a wide variety of specifications. Product developments initiatives are stimulated to a large part by need for materials with high safety and efficacy profile to be used in medical processes in surgical and general health care settings. A case in point is the use of copper as the first matter of choice for medical gas systems. Developed nations around the world have witnessed the utilization of copper tubing for a wide range of medical applications. The demands are driven by the durability and longevity of copper metal. Additionally, medical copper tubings can retain their structural integrity under high pressure.
Key end users in the medical copper tubing market are hospitals, nursing home, ambulatory surgical centers, and specialty clinics.
Over the past several years, vendors and manufacturers in the medical copper tubing market are striving for materials that meet the intersection points of price and performance. This has been a challenge for medical equipment providers of developed nations as well since performance relies on several factors not always mutually non-exclusive. Though copper has an excellent combination of unique mechanical properties, the price for developing the tubing has been mostly on the higher side. Many if not all manufacturers then try to turn toward cheaper alternatives such as cross-linked polyethylene. Another challenge that manufacturers in the medical copper tubing market face is achieving the desired lubricity quotient.
In the recent years, the availability of a number of promising additives based on thermoplastic elastomers has helped manufacturers to achieve the desired characteristics with less difficulty. A variety of business models adopted by players in the medical copper tubing market consider customization as a promising trend to bolster their foothold. Growing demand for solutions tailor-made for specialized medical applications to meet patients’ needs in developing and developed economies has opened several new lucrative avenues in the medical copper tubing market.
Several vendors in the medical copper tubing market benefit from product upgrades. More importantly, they are increasingly leveraging e-commerce channels to expand their reach and also to garner competitive gains in new medical copper tubing markets. In addition, a few top players in recent months had increased the visibility of their product offerings through online channels. Further, key brands are recalibrating their promotion and distribution strategies to meet the evolving regulations in various regions in the medical copper tubing market. In many instances, regional players have a better edge than global players. The trend is especially noticeable among early movers to keep themselves abreast of latest compliance framework.
Some of the prominent players in the medical copper tubing market are:
Among the various regions in the medical copper tubing market, North America has been witnessing several large revenue streams to medical device vendors and equipment manufacturers. The presence of many globally prominent and large players domiciled in the U.S. also makes the region stand out in the global medical copper tubing market. Asia Pacific and Europe are also showing vast potential for small- to mid-sized companies in the market. Growing body of research to assess the potential of new composite materials based on copper in the regions are also unlocking new prospects in the global market.
