Medical Copper Tubing Market Scope and Segmentation  

Market Definition

Copper is becoming very important in medical tube applications due to its promising physical properties, particularly its durability and flexibility. These properties enable manufacturers in the medical copper tubing market to meet a wide range of specifications. Medical copper tubes are used to deliver medical gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and nitrous oxide. Medical device manufacturers are focusing on developing medical gas pipes because copper pipes are antibacterial and non-harmful to the human body.

Medical Copper Tubing Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing demand for copper tubing for gas delivery

Copper tubing has been used in hospitals for gas delivery because of its corrosion-resistant and antibacterial properties. These tubes, which are used in medical gas pipelines, aid in cleanliness, degreasing, packaging, and usability. These benefits aid in achieving high-quality results while also contributing to market growth. These tubes have a long lifespan and are easy to construct. Furthermore, these items must meet regulatory standards such as ASTM B819 and CSA. Copper tubing has recently grown in popularity in the healthcare industry. The increased demand for copper tubing in the healthcare industry helps to drive market growth.

• High Popularity of Copper tubing in Healthcare

With advancements in medical infrastructure in developing countries, most hospitals are opting for centralised medical copper plumbing systems. These systems are critical, especially in emergency / critical areas such as operating rooms, CCUs, intensive care units, and kindergartens. These medical copper tube systems are highly preferred by hospitals because they are simple to install, long-lasting, and efficient. Copper tubes have a seamless fit and are soldered together. These medical copper tube systems require less maintenance and perform well over time. These are the certain factors which propel the growth of market.

• Increased Need for Low Coefficient of Friction

One of the major factors driving the growth of the medical copper tubing market is the increasing requirement for a low coefficient of friction on both sides of the tube according to specification. Companies rely on additives, primarily thermoplastic elastomers, to reduce the coefficient of friction and improve the tube's lubricity quotient. Rising demand for customized low coefficient of friction on both sides of the tubing is expected to drive market growth in the near future.

Opportunities

• Emergence of e-commerce distribution

The emergence of e-commerce expansion for the medical copper tubing device is required to level up their sales performances. E-commerce remains a megatrend affecting almost every industry's sales and distribution parameters. Medical copper tube manufacturers are also seeing promising opportunities in the field of e-commerce, where the scale of effective customer interaction is rapidly approaching. For instance, Lapp Tannehill, a leading supplier of wire, cable, connectivity, and tube products, launched its own e-commerce website in 2019. The company's goal with this launch is to expand its customer reach by deploying a "one-stop" platform that addresses all types of wiring and tube needs.

Restraints/Challenges

• High cost of copper tubing

The high cost of copper tubing, particularly type K, is regarded as the primary limiting factor in the medical copper tubing market. Although the growth of this sector is increasing and is expected to increase in the forecast period, the price is causing a major impediment to the expansion.
