The Medical Carbon Composites Market is segmented by Application Type (Operating & Diagnostic Tables, Bone Implants, Prosthetics & Orthotics, and Surgical Seals), Process Type (Prepreg Layup and Others), End-User Type (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and Others), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World).

Segment Analysis

By Application Type

The medical carbon composites market is segmented as operating & diagnostic tables, bone implants, prosthetics & orthotics, and surgical seals. The operating & diagnostic tables segment is expected to remain the dominant one during the forecast period as carbon composite tabletop offers a 360-degree radiolucency. The market is witnessing an increased number of new product launches. For instance, in 2020, Hillrom launched PST 500 and PST 300 precision surgical tables that offer 360-degree radiolucency coupled with the capability of handling general surgery, orthopedics, and neurosurgery. The prosthetics & orthotics segment is estimated to be the second-largest application by 2026, driven by an increasing acceptance of lower limb prosthetics and orthotics.

By Process Type

The market is segmented as prepreg layup and other processes. Prepreg layup is likely to remain the dominant process in the market during the forecast period. Prepreg is the preferred choice for manufacturing operating tables and diagnostic tabletops. Other processes predominantly include wet lamination, another highly preferred process for the fabrication of lower limb prosthetics and orthotics.

Market Drivers

Government initiatives, such as customs duty exemption on medical devices, growth in regulatory approvals of medical devices, upcoming Tokyo Paralympics 2021, and product innovations, are likely to act as the major growth drivers of the market.
