Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Disorders and Approval and Launch of New Products to Augment Growth of Medical Membrane Market
Advancements in medical sciences, rising incidences
of fatal diseases, improvement in medical technology, growth in pharmaceutical
and medical industry, increased demand for safe medicines and pharmaceutical
products are some of the major driving forces that are expected to drive the
medical membrane industry for hematological application and other
pharmaceutical purification process.
Medical membranes, which help to safeguard different
biological resources are extremely important as they help in protecting our
health from various deadly and contagious diseases. These applications include
the manufacturing of customized biocompatible solutions for the protection and
purification of biological fluids. This industry is witnessing an exponential
growth with constant inflow of pharmaceutical products, research and
development activities. As per the statistics, there has been a steady rise in
the demand for medical devices, materials and equipment that are required for
the purification of medicines. With the right purification procedure, the drugs
present in the body can remain active and the harmful chemicals out of the
system can be avoided.
Market Dynamics
Increasing prevalence of chronic disorders is
expected to propel growth of the global medical membrane market. For instance, according
to the study, ‘Risk Factors and Rate of Progression of CKD in Children’,
published in June 2019 in Kidney International Reports, 38% children experienced
progression of chronic kidney disease within 2 years of follow-up.
The global medical membrane market is witnessing
several M&A activities. For instance, in December 2020, Collagen Matrix,
Inc., a regenerative, collagen-based, xenograft-derived medical devices
provider, acquired Sunstar's Degradable Solutions division including its GUIDOR
branded line of resorbable synthetic medical implants. Similarly, in January
2021, Blue Earth Diagnostics, a Bracco company, signed an exclusive, worldwide
agreement with Scintomics GmbH, Germany, a specialist in radiopharmaceuticals
and radiopharmaceutical technologies, and the Technical University of Munich,
to acquire exclusive, worldwide rights to therapeutic applications of novel
radiohybrid Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen technology in prostate cancer.
Among regions, North America is expected to witness
significant growth in the global medical
membrane market, owing to high prevalence of cancer in the region. For
instance, according to the American Cancer Society, in 2019, there will be an
estimated 1,762,450 new cancer cases diagnosed and 606,880 cancer deaths in the
U.S.
Competitive Analysis
Major players operating in the global medical
membrane market include, Nipro Corporation, Amniox, Pall Corporation, Sorin
Group, Gore, OXGENE, Maquet Company, Merck Millipore, and others.
Major players operating in the global medical
membrane market are focused on approval and launch of new products to expand
their product portfolio. For instance, in January 2021, OXGENE, a biotechnology
company offering integrated discovery and manufacturing technologies to the
cell and gene therapy industry, launched its self-labelling integral membrane
(SLIM) protein discovery system.
