In case of diabetes- insulin pens, continuous glucose monitor (CGM) housings, and lancets drive the demand for medical plastic. And in case of heart disease high performance polymers such as PEEK (polyetheretherketone) and fluoropolymers drive the medical plastic demand as they are required to manufacture catheters and stents.

Apart from this the healthcare sector of North America is witnessing a major change in the trend as now people are preferring ‘hospital at home service’. Which drives the demand for hygiene-related plastics such as incontinence products, gloves, and feeding tubes. Apart from this usage of "auto-injectors" and wearable infusion pumps at home by people is also a major driver for medical plastic demand.
