Rising Utilisation in Medical Industry to Drive the Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Industry

Over the historical period, the number of knee and hip replacement surgeries has risen significantly. Better prosthetics, longer lifespans, and improved patient satisfaction have all resulted from technical advances. The demand for medical-grade ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is expected to rise in several countries, including the United States, Canada, Germany, and Japan, over the forecast period. The higher cost of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene relative to other polymers like polypropylene, polyethylene, and engineering thermoplastics is expected to slow down demand growth in the coming years. Furthermore, the recent global outbreak of COVID-19 has had a negative impact on product demand in many applications due to stalled industrial production and supply and transportation constraints. However, the market is expected to recover from the COVID impact over the forecast period.
