Medical Foam Tapes Market

Medical Foam Tapes Market: An Overview

Medical foam tapes are used to seal sanitized devices, cushion patients and devices during treatment. The rising environmental concerns and growing number of regulations and policies have increased the demand of foam tape to focus on development of environment-friendly products. Volatile raw material prices act as a restraint in the growth of the market. The increasing costs of acrylic and PE material based medical foam tapes are affecting the global medical foam tape market. Market growth is accumulated to the demand from a wide range of applications in the medical industry. Emerging economies such as India, Brazil, Malaysia offer numerous unexplored and untapped opportunities. Considering all factors, the market for Medical Foam Tapes is estimated to rise in the foreseeable future.

Medical Foam Tapes Market: Dynamics

Acrylic resin based foam tapes consumption is rising momentarily across all regions, mostly because it has higher tack and peel adhesion than silicone based foam tapes. Its resistance to humidity and excellent cohesion makes it more viable for all type of environmental conditions. The demand of biodegradable and eco-friendly medical foam tapes is rising through roofs during past few years, mainly because of stringent laws and regulations. The recent innovations of UV hot melt based technologies allows tape manufacturers to coat tapes on PE or PU foams without any release of solvents or water particles. The ever moving research and development to manufacture cost efficient and high performance is expected to augment the demand of medical foam tapes. The challenges this industry is facing is through regulatory organizations such as GHS and EPA, mainly regarding the reduction of VOC emissions. This has caused a shift from the traditional solvent based technology to the water based, which is quite a financial strain on manufacturers. Thus the coming of biodegradable medical foam tapes is causing a spike in sales for the players in the market. These reasons will exponentially increase the demand of medical foam tapes during forecast period.
