What restraints the growth of the global medical foam market?

“Fluctuating prices of raw materials”

The global medical foam market faces the restraint of fluctuating prices of raw materials. The prices of key raw materials used in medical foam production, such as polyurethane, latex, and silicone, are subject to market volatility. Fluctuations in prices directly impact medical foam products' manufacturing cost and profitability. These price fluctuations can disrupt the supply chain and make it challenging for manufacturers to maintain stable product pricing. To mitigate this restraint, manufacturers often employ strategic sourcing and hedging techniques to manage raw material costs and ensure a steady supply of materials.
