Medical adhesive refer to a substance or material used to bond or seal tissues, wounds, or medical devices in various healthcare applications. These adhesives are specifically formulated and manufactured to meet stringent requirements for biocompatibility, sterility, and safety in medical settings. They play a crucial role in surgical procedures, wound closure, tissue engineering, and medical device assembly.
Due to increased demand for remote patient monitoring services and equipment such as pulse oximeters and wearable drug delivery systems, telehealth solutions gained traction rapidly during the pandemic. This also boosted the demand for durable medical adhesives in the region. The trend is expected to continue, owing to the increasing viability of this approach, the convenience it provides, and the growing number of elderly people who are confined to home treatment settings due the pandemic. Other factors influencing the demand of medical adhesives include disruptions in footfall to hospitals and clinics, and the benefits that have arisen since these services have been deployed.
Increase in Road Accidents Boosts Market Growth
The increasing geriatric population and rising number of road accidents are the primary factors driving the growth of the medical adhesives market. Closing wounds to prevent the spread of infections is crucial. Medical adhesives are widely used in road accident associated surgeries. Road traffic crashes account for approximately 1.19 million deaths each year. Recent data by WHO (World Health Organization) reveals that road traffic injuries are currently estimated to be the 8th leading cause of death across all age groups globally and are predicted to become the 7th leading cause of deaths by 2030.
Increasing Aging Population and Chronic Diseases
The global population is aging rapidly, leading to a higher prevalence of chronic diseases that require medical interventions. As a result, there's a growing demand for surgeries and medical procedures where medical adhesives are essential. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global population aged 60 years and older is expected to double by 2050, reaching nearly 2.1 billion. This demographic shift is expected to significantly increase the demand for medical adhesives for wound closure, tissue bonding, and sealing in surgical procedures among the elderly population.
