Market Dynamics

Introduction:

A medical filter is a component that removes unwanted solid particles, admixtures, and other unwanted matters from a gaseous or liquid medium by providing a barrier commonly referred to as a filter media, through which the gas or liquid is passed. Filters play an important role in medical procedures by preventing harmful substances from entering the circulation or organs.

Some key medical filters include inferior vena cava, hemodialysis, blood filters, transfusion, and pulmonary artery filters.

Market Drivers:

• Key factors driving the demand for medical filters are an increase in demand for medical devices due to the emergence of the pandemic, the growing incidence of chronic diseases (cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease), advancement in minimally invasive surgical techniques, increasing healthcare infrastructure, and growing emphasis on patient safety.

Segment Analysis

By Application Type

“Low-value consumables are expected to be the dominant application of the market.”

• The medical filter market is segmented into high-value consumables, low-value consumables, medical equipment, and IVD.
• Low-value consumable filters are used in large quantities across a wide range of medical procedures and treatments, and most of them are single-use due to contamination risks. They are cost-effective and play a critical role in routine medical procedures, and widespread applications across the medical industry.
• Key low-value consumable filters include IVC filters, dialysis filters, blood transfusion filters, surgical filters, etc.

By Media Type

“Hydrophobic membrane is expected to remain the dominant and fastest-growing media of the market during the forecast period.”

• The market is segmented into hydrophobic membranes, hydrophilic membranes, and others.
• Hydrophobic membranes have unique water-repellent properties which makes them ideal for filtering gases only. Its other properties include compatibility with biocompatible materials, durability, and the ability to block moisture drives its usage in a wide range of devices. Key applications of hydrophobic membranes include ventilator systems, CPAP machines, surgical filters, intravenous (IV) filters, and catheter filters, etc.
• Hydrophilic membranes have a high affinity for water, and it is used for filtering liquid only.
• PTFE is a majorly used material for manufacturing hydrophobic membranes, whereas PES is majorly used for hydrophilic membranes.

By Medium Type

“Gas medium is expected to lead the market as the most preferred medium during the forecast period.”

• The medical filter market is segmented into gas and liquid mediums.
• Gas medium is expected to lead the market during the forecast period owing to the requirement of clean, containment-fee air, and gases in various applications. They are widely used in ventilation systems, anesthesia machines, sterile gas filtration in surgical procedures, oxygen therapy devices, etc.
• Key applications of liquid medium filters are intravenous (IV) therapy, hemodialysis, infusion pumps, and blood transfusion.

By Usage Type

“Disposable usage type is expected to hold a prominent position in the market during the forecast period.”

• The medical filter market is segmented into disposable and reusable usage types.
• Disposable filters are widely used in critical care environments, home healthcare, and other important applications owing to their cost-effectiveness, ease of use, compliance with stringent regulations, infection control, and patient safety properties.
• The development of eco-friendly disposable filters made from biodegradable or recyclable materials is making disposable filters an attractive option in the market.

Regional Analysis
