Medical Device Plastics Market by Material (Standard Plastics, Engineering Plastics), Source, Manufacturing Process (Extrusion, CNC Machining, Injection Molding), Application (Diagnostics Equipment, Surgical Instruments), & Region - Global Forecast to 203

The medical device plastics market is estimated to be worth USD 21.93 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 31.82 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2025 to 2030. The engineering plastics segment holds the second-largest share in the medical device plastics market based on material type, driven by its superior mechanical strength, heat resistance, and chemical stability. These plastics offer excellent dimensional stability and sterilization compatibility, making them ideal for applications requiring durability and long service life. Furthermore, the growing adoption of miniaturized and high-performance medical devices, especially in diagnostics and patient monitoring, continues to boost demand for engineering plastics. As OEMs seek lightweight, cost-effective, and regulatory-compliant alternatives to metals, this segment remains a critical enabler of innovation and reliability in modern medical device manufacturing.

‘‘In terms of value, the drug delivery systems segment accounted for the largest share of the overall medical device plastic market.’’

The drug delivery systems segment leads the medical device plastics market in terms of application, accounting for the largest revenue share. This dominance is driven by the widespread use of plastic-based components in syringes, catheters, infusion systems, inhalers, and prefilled drug delivery devices. The increasing adoption of self-administrative and minimally invasive drug delivery systems, along with the rising prevalence of chronic diseases requiring continuous medication, is driving this trend. Additionally, advances in micro-molding and multi-material injection technologies are enabling the production of highly integrated, disposable, and patient-friendly delivery devices, further solidifying this segment’s leadership in the medical device plastics market.

“North America is projected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period”.

North America dominates the medical device plastics market, holding the largest regional share, primarily due to its strong healthcare infrastructure, high medical device consumption, and advanced manufacturing ecosystem. The region’s leadership is further supported by the presence of major OEMs and specialized contract manufacturers that focus on precision-molded plastic components for noninvasive and drug delivery applications. Key players such as Jabil Inc., SMC Ltd., and Phillips-Medisize (a Molex company) are at the forefront of this market, offering advanced medical-grade injection molding, cleanroom manufacturing, and assembly services.
