This due to the fact that this demographic shift is putting a burden on the health expenditure worldwide, further increasing the growth prospects of the medical tubing market in the forecast period. Factors such as increased life expectancy and declining fertility are the key factors behind the growing ageing population across the globe. According to the United Nations statistics, the number of people aged 60 years or above is projected to increase from 962.3 million in 2017 to 2,080.5 million by 2050. Since aged people are most susceptible to diseases, the demand for medical tubing holds strong growth chances, thus, this is estimated to put a positive impact on the market growth in the forecast period and in the upcoming years.

The growing polymer industry is significantly contributing to the market growth with a huge application of polymers in healthcare. Furthermore, with the growing drug delivery industry, the market is propelled to grow with high application in the targeted drug delivery. Moreover, with the growing adoption of minimally invasive surgical procedures, the market is projected to grow at a significant pace in the forecast period and in the upcoming years. Geographically, North America is projected to hold a significant market share followed by the European region. While the Asia Pacific region is projected to be the fastest-growing in the forecast period owing to the favourable government initiatives for providing better healthcare facilities in the region.

The presence of dedicated healthcare services which includes remote patient monitoring and management is driving the market demand in the forecast period.

Remote patient monitoring refers to keeping a track record of a patient’s health even when outside the conventional clinical settings (at home). It is highly helpful in the case of patients suffering from chronic diseases like CVDs and may require access to care which may eventually decrease healthcare delivery costs. Key features include effective monitoring while at home, trend analysis of physiological parameters, early detection in case of any fluctuation from a normal condition, reduction in the number of emergency visits and hospital stay duration. This further allocates enough time to the healthcare providers in order to connect and communicate well with their patients. Patients with complex diseases such as heart diseases are provided with a mobile phone and commercial home-based medical devices for measurements like blood pressure monitoring, weight scale, and others. In case of any abnormality an alert is sent to the concerned clinicians and the patient and the necessary action is taken care of accordingly.

Healthcare facilities, on the basis of disease severity are provided to the patients, these include primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary care. Secondary and tertiary care are required for the treatment of serious illnesses, while, the quaternary is an extension of tertiary care and are less prevalent than the other services. These deliver specialized and advanced services for highly specialized treatments and care.

The growing drug delivery industry is driving the market demand where the key market players with certain strategic objectives are developing innovative drug delivery systems, further propelling the market growth in the forecast period.

The companies’ key strategic priorities and objectives include: to achieve scientific leadership by focusing science on three therapy areas and accelerating the pipeline, in addition to transforming the way of working, returning to growth by focusing on the growth platforms and transforming the business through specialty care, devices, and biologic medicines; a targeted business development which strengthens the company’s efforts, to be a great place to work and this will be achieved by evolving company culture and simplifying company business.
