Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6rzsss/global_medical) has announced the addition of the "Global Medical Composite Materials Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.
The Global Medical Composite Materials market to grow at a CAGR of 6.84% over the period 2013-2018.
Some of the major benefits of medical composite materials are high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent fatigue endurance, corrosion resistance, good impact resistance, and malleability. As a result of these properties, the Medical sector prefers medical composite materials compared to steel, plastic, and aluminum for producing custom-made and complex products.
One of the major trends emerging in this market is the usage of nano fibers in soft tissue implants. Synthetic bioactive and bioresorbable composite materials are being used as scaffolds in tissue engineering.
According to the report, the need for advanced devices for orthopedics is one of the major drivers of the market. Medical composite materials are increasingly being used in prosthetics and body implants.
Further, the report states that volatility in raw material prices is one of the major challenges confronting the market. The price of carbon fiber composites and the manufacturing cost of composite materials are very high.
The Global Medical Composite Materials market can be segmented into three, based on type:
- Fiber composites
- Polymer metal composites
- Polymer ceramics composites.
The Fiber Composites market can be further segmented into:
- Carbon fiber
- Glass fiber
- Natural fiber
- Polymer fiber
