North America Dominates Medical Polycarbonate Market
In terms of revenue, North America led the global medical polycarbonate market in 2019. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 17.9 million people died due to cardiovascular diseases across the globe in 2016, representing nearly 31% of all global deaths. About 85% of these deaths were ascribed to heart attack and stroke. According to the American College of Cardiology Foundation, cardiovascular diseases accounted for 840,768 deaths in the U.S. in 2016; of these, 635,260 deaths were owing to cardiac diseases. Medical polycarbonate is extensively used in the production of various medical instruments such as hemodialysis filter membranes, surgical instrument handles, housings of oxygenator devices, needle-free injection systems, perfusion equipment, blood centrifuge bowls, and stopcocks. This is augmenting the medical polycarbonate market.
The medical polycarbonate market is projected to expand at a faster pace in Asia Pacific vis-à-vis that in other regions during the forecast period. According to a report published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in October 2018, prevalence of chronic kidney disease stands at 10.2% in India. Furthermore, according to an article published in April 2019 by China Daily, a newspaper published in the country, nearly 24.3 million patients were afflicted with diabetic kidney disease in China. Thus, demand for fluid delivery & IV connection components, renal dialysis products, cardiovascular devices, and surgical instruments is high in these countries.
