Biomedical Textiles Market by Fiber Type (Biodegradable, Non-biodegradable), Fabric Type (Woven, Non-woven), Application (Non-implantable, Surgical Sutures), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, MEA, South America) - Global Forecast to 2022
[128 Pages Report] Biomedical textiles are fibrous structures designed for use in specific biological environments. The fibers used in these textiles should possess antimicrobial, fire-resistant, non-allergic, and non-carcinogenic properties. They are produced using weaving, non-weaving, and knitting technologies for surgical sutures, implantable, extracorporeal devices, and non-implantable applications.
The non-implantable application includes bandages, such as gauzes, adhesive, cohesive, and tubular and triangular. Surgical sutures can be made from both biodegradable and non-biodegradable fibers and are used for wound closure in surgeries. Implantable biomedical textiles are made of biodegradable fibers that can be used in specific biological environments and are biocompatible and biostable with cells and biological fluids. Biomedical textiles are also used in extracorporeal devices as mechanical organs that are used for blood purification.
The biomedical textiles market size was USD 11 billion in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 14.50 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period. The rising number of surgeries, rapid growth in the aging population, and increased healthcare expenditure in the developing economies are expected to drive the biomedical textile market.
Non-Woven fabric to lead the biomedical textiles market between 2017 and 2022
The segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to increased consumption in the non-implantable applications. The increasing awareness and benefits of using this fabric in the healthcare industry are expected to drive its demand between 2017 and 2022.
Non-implantable to be the fastest-growing application of biomedical textiles between 2017 and 2022
The market in the non-implantable application is projected to register the highest CAGR between 2017 and 2022. An increasing number of accidents and surgeries is driving the biomedical textiles market in the non-implantable applications.
APAC to be the fastest-growing biomedical textiles market during the forecast period
The market in APAC is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The biomedical textile manufacturing companies have ample growth opportunities in this region in comparison to the European and North American regions owing to the low cost of labor and raw materials. The consumption of biomedical textiles is high in this region due to the densely populated countries such as India and China, the rising income level of the population, and increasing expenditure on healthcare facilities.
China to register the highest CAGR in the biomedical textile market during the forecast period
Biomedical textiles are one of the top growth sectors for the technical textile market in China. The market in the surgical suture application is witnessing significant growth in China owing to an increase in the number of surgeries performed. According to the WHO data of 2012, 39,500,000 patients in China had undergone surgeries. Furthermore, the number of patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases is also increasing in the country, driving the demand for biomedical textiles in implantable products such as grafts and stents.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Growing need for advanced wound dressing material
Changing lifestyle, rising disposable income, and growing awareness about health and hygiene have increased the demand for biomedical textiles with antibacterial, anti-fungal, and easy healing properties. According to a survey conducted by Dow Microbial Control, a business unit of The Dow Chemical Company (US), more than 60% consumers demand advanced wound dressing materials having the ability to resist dust, mold, and parasites as well as bacterial, viral, and airborne infections. The survey also concluded that consumers prefer purchasing premium products to fulfill their requirements for wound dressing products with better performance.
Restraint: High R&D investments
Biomedical textiles are advanced materials that are specifically designed to resist various bacteria, fungi, fire, dirt, and water. The development of these fabrics involves extensive R&D to deliver specialized products that meet healthcare specifications. The R&D costs involved in the manufacturing of high-end fabrics are high as it involves labor, technological, and other related costs.
The production of raw materials such as polyester, cotton, polypropylene, polyurethane, vinyl, and other fibers involves complex processes that require heavy investments. The production of these materials also requires efficient machinery, the latest technology, and adequate supply. Raw materials used in antimicrobial biomedical textiles include various fibers and antimicrobial agents such as silver, copper, and quaternary ammonium, which are highly expensive. Moreover, players in the market need to monitor the production of high-quality textiles as it is a complex process. Thus, the R&D investments required in the manufacturing of these textiles are high, thereby restricting the growth of the market.
Opportunity: Development of smart biomedical textiles
Smart biomedical textiles are wearable materials produced by embedding tiny semiconductors and sensors into the fabrics. The smart biomedical textiles market is expected to grow at a rate of 20% per year. The use of these textiles in the patients clothing can help monitor heart rate, blood pressure, and pulse rate. They can also help monitor body temperature, respiratory rate, humidity, and pH level.
The European Commission is investing in R&D to develop smart biomedical textiles for various applications in West Sweden. Under this research, projects such as Context, Proetex, Sweet, Stella, Ofseth, Biotex, and Clevertex are being studied. The Context project is focused on the development of materials embedded with capacitive sensors that do not require direct body contact and can monitor a babys heart rate. Ofseth is working on optical fibers that could measure the oxygen content of blood and monitor patients in MRI chambers.
Challenge: Product marketing
The marketing of biomedical textiles is the biggest challenge for biomedical textiles manufacturers, as the majority of these products have to be marketed directly to hospitals. The hospitals have their own set of standards in terms of color, shape, and size of biomedical textiles, such as non-implantable disposables. In addition, the working capital cycle, especially in government hospitals is long, resulting in the delay of payments. Thus, the marketing of biomedical textiles remains one of the major challenges.
