The increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases is driving the growth of the medical tubing market. Conditions such as asthma, lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, and others arise from factors like tobacco smoking, air pollution, allergens, and occupational hazards. The rise in respiratory diseases is anticipated to boost the demand for medical tubes, as they are crucial components of ventilators that aid in breathing. For example, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US government agency, tuberculosis cases increased from 8,320 in 2022 to 9,615 in 2023, reflecting a rise of 1,295 cases. Furthermore, the incidence rate grew from 2.5 per 100,000 individuals in 2022 to 2.9 in 2023. Therefore, the escalating cases of respiratory diseases are expected to propel the growth of the medical tubing market.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the medical tubing market in the future. A chronic disease is a medical condition that lasts for an extended period, typically three months or more, and often persists throughout a person's lifetime. Medical tubing plays a crucial role in administering medications and treatments to patients with chronic conditions. For example, in September 2022, the World Health Organization, a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Switzerland, reported that there were 41 million deaths attributed to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or chronic diseases globally each year, accounting for 74% of all deaths. This included 17.9 million deaths from cardiovascular diseases, 9.3 million from cancer, 4.1 million from chronic respiratory diseases, and 2 million from diabetes. Thus, the increasing incidence of chronic diseases is driving the growth of the medical tubing market.

Product innovation is a significant trend gaining traction in the medical tubing market. Key players are concentrating on introducing new, innovative medical tubes with enhanced features to improve usage outcomes. Companies are employing advanced manufacturing techniques and the latest technologies to develop unique and effective medical tubes. One of the most notable innovations currently in use is the braided medical tube. The distinctive design of the braided tube enhances the capabilities of catheters and medical tubing. Braided tubes are an excellent solution for increasing the flexibility and strength of existing medical devices. They are utilized in various medical procedures, including cardiovascular and neurovascular surgeries, as well as endoscopic treatments for the gastrointestinal system. For instance, in October 2023, SCHOTT AG, a Germany-based glass manufacturer, launched FIOLAX Pro, an advanced type of borosilicate glass tubing aimed at the pharmaceutical market. This product addresses key industry trends such as the growing complexity of pharmaceuticals, the demand for sustainable options, and the shift toward digitalization. FIOLAX Pro provides tight dimensional tolerances that enhance the accuracy of filling processes in syringes and cartridges, thereby minimizing overfill losses and improving dosing precision.

Major companies in the medical tubing market are introducing advanced tubing solutions to meet the evolving needs of medical device engineers. Products like Absorv XSE-oriented tubing provide engineers with a more efficient platform for developing bioresorbable devices. This tubing offers customization options in design and serves as an alternative to metallic products. For instance, in September 2023, Zeus introduced Absorv XSE-oriented tubing, enhancing its bioabsorbable product line. This tubing addresses the limitations of first-generation bioresorbable vascular scaffolds, providing consistent wall thickness and tailored absorption profiles. It broadens the application range to include bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BRS) treatments beyond coronary artery disease, offering a more versatile solution to replace metallic stents.

In December 2023, TekniPlex Healthcare, a US-based provider of materials science solutions and medical device components, acquired Seisa Medical for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition notably enhances the company’s materials science and process technologies for minimally invasive and interventional therapy devices on a global scale. Seisa Medical is a US-based manufacturer specializing in medical tubing.

Medical tubing refers to small, intricate, and customized tubes used for transferring fluids to and from the body and administering various medical devices. These tubes are crucial in applications such as anesthesia and respiratory apparatus, intravenous (IV) systems, catheters, peristaltic pumps, and biopharmaceutical laboratory equipment, serving purposes in fluid management and drainage.

The main types of medical tubing include silicone, polyolefins, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonates, fluoropolymers, and others. Silicone medical tubes, for instance, are made from tear-resistant Silastic biomedical-grade platinum-cured elastomer. These tubes are widely utilized in medical implants, catheter drains, feeding tubes, and other medical devices. They find applications in bulk disposable tubing, drug delivery systems, catheters, biopharmaceutical laboratory equipment, and various other uses in hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, medical labs, and other end-user settings. The manufacturing of medical tubing takes place in sterile environments to minimize the risk of contamination.
