　　 According to the latest reports from foreign media, the total sales of the global disposable medical device market reached 89 billion US dollars last year. In developed countries and regions such as the United States and Europe, the sales of disposable medical devices have accounted for about 45% of their total sales in the medical device market. It is estimated that by next year, the global disposable medical device market is expected to reach nearly 100 billion US dollars. This shows the rapid development momentum of the disposable medical device market.



　　 The world's largest medical device market is the United States, which is also the largest disposable medical device market. Its disposable medical device product sales account for more than 40% of the global disposable medical device market. Europe is the world's second largest disposable medical device market, and its market size accounts for approximately 29% of the global disposable medical device market.


　　Countries including Japan, China, India and other Asian emerging industrial countries, the total sales of disposable medical devices account for approximately 17%-18% of the international market. Disposable medical device products in other countries and regions account for the remaining ten percent.

　　 1. Medical equipment for anesthesia
　　 In recent years, anesthesia equipment products are one of the indispensable medical equipment products for surgical operations. , The market for disposable products for anesthesia in foreign countries is growing rapidly. In the early days, the main equipment used for anesthesia in hospitals in various countries was the throat insertion type tubular product (referred to as "the throat for anesthesia").



However, in recent years, a new type of disposable anesthesia device product that is more convenient to use and less damaging to the patient (larynx): the laryngonasal mask has emerged in the market and soon replaced the inserted anesthesia hose that has been used for hundreds of years . Currently, disposable laryngo-nasal masks for anesthesia have been basically popularized in hospitals in developed countries in the United States and Europe.


　　 The annual sales of disposable masks for anesthesia in developed countries in Europe and America are about US$250 million. It is reported that disposable nasal masks for anesthesia have been promoted to developed countries and regions such as Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is expected that by 2012, new products such as disposable anesthesia medical devices will be promoted and used in other Asia-Pacific countries, and their market space is huge.

　　 2. Non-woven sanitary materials
Non-woven fabrics made of high molecular polymer PP are inexpensive and can withstand sterilization by common disinfection methods such as ultraviolet rays or ethylene oxide amine. They are very suitable for making various medical textiles, sanitary materials, bandages and other products to replace cotton Fabric products.

　　 Medical textiles or sanitary materials made of non-woven fabrics are more environmentally friendly, because they can be used as waste plastic raw materials after they are used, and can be recycled and recycled in the market. Most of the sanitary materials that can be made from cotton and non-woven fabrics can produce similar products.



Such as surgical cushions, sterile outer packaging, wound protection materials, foot care materials, sanitary masks, hospital bed sheets, surgical masks, doctors' outer gowns and patient clothing, etc., can all be processed by non-woven fabrics .

　　 In recent years, only the United States and Canada consume about 3.3 billion square meters of non-woven fabric raw materials each year for processing various sanitary materials and medical textiles. The total annual sales of disposable non-woven sanitary materials and medical textiles in the United States total US$3.4 billion, ranking first in the world; Europe ranks second, with total sales of approximately US$2.3 billion.


　　 Japan, China, India and other Asian emerging industrial countries have seen rapid growth in the consumption of disposable non-woven sanitary materials and medical textiles. Relevant parties predict that the total sales of the global disposable non-woven fabric sanitary materials and medical textiles market will exceed 5 billion US dollars this year and next.

Because non-woven disposable sanitary materials and medical textiles can save valuable cotton fiber raw materials, and the price of non-woven fabrics is only 1/4 of cotton fiber, more and more sanitary materials and medical textiles will be used Non-woven fabrics are disposable products to reduce production costs.


The person in charge of the American Medical Device Industry Association believes that in the next few years, the annual growth rate of the international market for disposable non-woven surgical materials and sanitary materials will reach about 15%, and it will become another international market after disposable syringes. Class-selling disposable equipment products.
