據 Mordor Intelligence 稱,2025 年醫療設備用熱可塑性橡膠市值為 33 億美元,預計到 2031 年將從 2026 年的 35 億美元成長至 46 億美元,預測期(2026-2031 年)複合年成長率為 5.59%。

本報告材料類型(熱可塑性橡膠- 苯乙烯基/苯乙烯-乙烯-丁烯-苯乙烯 (TPE-S/SEBS) 等)、應用(導管、管材等)、加工技術(擠出成型、射出成型成型、吹塑成型成型、薄膜成型等)和地區(北美、歐洲等)進行細分。市場預測以美元計價。
歐盟法規2023/2482將鄰苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己基)酯(DEHP)列為關注物質,並設定了含有DEHP的醫療設備的最終申請截止日期為2029年1月1日。這為原始設備製造商(OEM)提供了36個月的過渡期,以鼓勵其過渡到替代材料,例如SEBS和熱塑性聚氨酯(TPU),這些替代材料可以解決塑化劑滲出的問題。 2024年發布的指南強制要求對每日每公斤體重釋放超過10微克塑化劑的醫療設備進行風險效益分析,這實際上使傳統的PVC產品線無法使用。北美製造商正在與歐洲製造商協調時間表,以保持全球一致性,並推動醫療設備熱可塑性橡膠體領域向無鄰苯二甲酸酯材料的集體過渡。
在導管檢查室中,需要具有優異抗彎強度和易於插入性的導管軸的心血管、神經血管和泌尿器官系統系統手術範圍正在不斷擴大。聚醚嵌段醯胺(PEBA)化合物,例如Pebax Rnew,與尼龍12相比,可將推進力降低50%,從而最大限度地減少血管損傷並縮短手術時間。彎曲疲勞測試表明,PEBA導管軸在90度彎曲下可承受10,000次循環,使用壽命幾乎是傳統聚氨酯導管的三倍。這推動了在可實現當日出院的環境中,PEBA導管的應用日益廣泛。 FDA 510(k)核准流程允許製造商使用現有主文件更新導管設計,將核准時間縮短一半,並加速熱可塑性橡膠在醫療設備的進一步應用。
ISO 10993-18:2020 要求進行詳細的化學成分分析測試,每個 E&L 專案的成本約為 30 萬美元,耗時九個月。 50 kGy 的伽馬射線滅菌會使未改質 PEBA 的拉伸強度降低 25%,因此配製商必須添加抗氧化劑,而這又會引入新的萃取物。環氧乙烷滅菌會導致殘留氯丙烷,根據 ISO 10993-7:2024 標準,每件器械中氯丙烷的含量必須低於 4 µg。這些科學和監管方面的挑戰延長了醫療設備用熱可塑性橡膠的研發週期,並阻礙了其短期成長。
2025年,苯乙烯基嵌段共聚物佔據了醫療設備熱可塑性橡膠市場43.18%的佔有率,這主要得益於其經濟高效的透明度和高達50 kGy的伽馬射線輻照穩定性。受神經血管和周邊血管導管對超薄、抗扭轉壁的需求不斷成長的推動,PEBA預計將在2031年之前以7.12%的年成長率成長。阿科瑪的生物基產品Pebax Rnew 30R53含有30%的蓖麻油,邵氏D硬度達到53,符合歐盟綠色交易的採購規定。 TPU在2025年佔銷售額的22%,是輸液器導管的首選材料,能夠承受泵浦驅動應用中長達7天的磨損。 TPE-E 和 TPC 適用於最高 121°C 的高壓釜,但由於酯鍵的存在,它們的 γ 射線輻照穩定性有限。 TPV 和 TPO 由於其不透明度和高萃取物含量,市場佔有率不足 8%。
2025年,北美在醫療設備用熱可塑性橡膠市場銷售額中佔36.33%。明尼蘇達州、麻薩諸塞州和加州等關鍵產業叢集支撐了這一市場主導地位,Medtronic、雅培和波士頓科學等行業領導者正在這些地區FDA的監管下拓展其新型導管和穿戴式產品線。同時,歐洲市場銷售額穩定在28%,其地位得以維持,這得益於醫療設備法規(MDR)更為嚴格的文件要求,有利於能夠提供全面安全合規(E&L)文件的成熟材料供應商。亞太地區目前佔市場佔有率的26%,預計將成為市場成長的主要驅動力,到2031年,其年均成長率預計將達到7.63%。
該地區的成長主要受三大因素驅動。首先,隨著中國和印度大力推行在地採購,Technoapex 和 DCM Shriram 於 2026 年成立的合資企業 Polytech 計畫精簡營運流程。在區域內進行食材和生產將使前置作業時間縮短六週。其次,隨著持續血糖監測的保險覆蓋範圍擴大,惠及數百萬患者,感測器製造商在本地組裝也日益成長。最後,日本和韓國的 OEM 製造商正專注於高純度產品,符合 ISO 10993-18 標準的供應商可獲得 10-15% 的價格溢價。
相較之下,拉丁美洲和中東及非洲市場合計僅佔醫療設備用熱可塑性橡膠市場銷售額的8%。高額進口關稅和有限的普及率阻礙了對先進雙色射出成型成型機的投資。此外,雖然傳統PVC作為短期消耗品仍可接受,但值得注意的是,大型跨國公司可能會將過剩產能從西方國家轉移到這些地區。如果歐洲和北美對鄰苯二甲酸二辛酯(DEHP)的銷售實施限制,這種轉移就可能發生。
According to Mordor Intelligence, the thermoplastic elastomers in medical devices market size was valued at USD 3.30 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow from USD 3.5 billion in 2026 to reach USD 4.60 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 5.59% during the forecast period (2026-2031).

This report is Segmented by Material Type (Thermoplastic Elastomer - Styrenic / Styrene-Ethylene-Butylene-Styrene (TPE-S/SEBS), and More), Application (Catheters & Tubing, and More), Processing Technology (Extrusion, Injection Molding, Blow Molding & Film, and More), and Geography (North America, Europe, and More). Market Forecasts are Provided in Value (USD).
European Regulation 2023/2482 identifies DEHP as a substance of concern, setting a final application deadline of January 1, 2029, for medical devices containing DEHP. This provides OEMs with a 36-month window to reformulate, prompting a shift toward SEBS and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) alternatives that eliminate plasticizer leaching concerns. Guidance issued in 2024 requires a benefit-risk analysis for devices releasing more than 10 µg/kg body weight/day of plasticizer, effectively disqualifying traditional PVC lines. North American manufacturers are aligning their timelines with European counterparts to maintain global consistency, driving a collective shift in the thermoplastic elastomers in the medical devices market toward phthalate-free materials.
Catheter laboratories are expanding their range of cardiovascular, neurovascular, and urological procedures, which rely on kink-resistant, pushable shafts. Polyether block amide (PEBA) compounds, such as Pebax Rnew, reduce advancement force by 50% compared to nylon 12, minimizing vessel trauma and shortening procedure times. Flexural-fatigue testing demonstrates that PEBA shafts endure 10,000 cycles at 90-degree bends, nearly tripling the lifespan of conventional polyurethane catheters, supporting broader adoption in same-day discharge environments. FDA 510(k) pathways enable manufacturers to update catheter designs using existing master files, reducing approval times by half and driving further penetration in the thermoplastic elastomers in medical devices market.
ISO 10993-18:2020 requires detailed chemical-profile testing, with each E&L program costing approximately USD 300,000 and taking nine months to complete. Gamma sterilization at 50 kGy can decrease the tensile strength of unmodified PEBA by 25%, prompting compounders to include antioxidant packages, which subsequently introduce new extractables. Ethylene-oxide sterilization leaves residual ethylene chlorohydrin, which must remain below 4 µg/device under ISO 10993-7:2024 limits. These scientific and regulatory challenges extend development timelines, restraining near-term growth of the thermoplastic elastomers in the medical devices market.

In 2025, styrenic block copolymers accounted for 43.18% of the thermoplastic elastomers in medical devices market size due to their cost-effective transparency and 50 kGy gamma stability. PEBA is expected to grow at an annual rate of 7.12% through 2031, driven by the increasing demand for neurovascular and peripheral-vascular catheters requiring ultra-thin, kink-resistant walls. Arkema's bio-based Pebax Rnew 30R53, with 30% castor-oil content, achieves Shore D 53 hardness, aligning with EU Green Deal procurement rules. TPU held 22% of revenue in 2025, preferred for infusion-set tubing designed to withstand pump-driven abrasion for seven days of wearable use. TPE-E and TPC are suitable for autoclave applications up to 121 °C, although their ester linkages limit gamma stability. TPV and TPO remain below 8%, constrained by opacity and higher extractables.
In 2025, North America accounted for 36.33% of the revenue in the thermoplastic elastomers for medical devices market. This dominance is supported by key clusters in Minnesota, Massachusetts, and California, where industry leaders such as Medtronic, Abbott, and Boston Scientific are scaling new catheter and wearable lines under FDA scrutiny. Meanwhile, Europe, contributing a steady 28% to the market revenue, maintains its position due to stricter MDR documentation, which benefits established material suppliers capable of providing comprehensive E&L dossiers. Asia-Pacific, currently holding 26% of the market, is expected to drive growth, with an expansion rate of 7.63% projected through 2031.
The region's growth is driven by three key factors. Firstly, with China and India promoting local sourcing, Teknor Apex's 2026 joint venture, PolyTek, with DCM Shriram, is set to streamline operations. Their in-region compounding reduces lead times by six weeks. Secondly, as reimbursement for continuous-glucose monitoring expands, millions more lives are covered, encouraging sensor manufacturers to localize assembly. Lastly, Japanese and South Korean OEMs are focusing on high-purity grades; suppliers meeting ISO 10993-18 standards can secure price premiums of 10-15%.
In contrast, Latin America and the combined regions of the Middle East & Africa account for a mere 8% of the thermoplastic elastomers in medical devices market revenue. High import duties and a limited installed base discourage investments in advanced two-shot injection presses. Additionally, while legacy PVC remains acceptable for short-term consumables, it is notable that major multinationals might redirect surplus capacity from the West to these regions. This shift could occur once DEHP sales face restrictions in Europe and North America.
