Medical Textiles Market size is set to grow by USD 6.97 billion from 2024-2028, Growing demand for non-woven medical textiles to boost the market growth, Technavio

NEW YORK, June 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The global medical textiles market size is estimated to grow by USD 6.97 billion from 2024-2028, according to Technavio. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 6.35%  during the forecast period. Nanofibers, a type of one-dimensional nanomaterial, are gaining significant attention in the medical industry due to their unique properties. Manufactured from biocompatible or biodegradable materials, nanofibers offer a high surface area and porosity, enhancing cell adhesion and protein/drug molecule attachment. Their superiority over micro and macro counterparts is evident in applications like tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery. In drug delivery, nanofiber membranes act as bioactive materials or drug carriers. For wound healing, nanofiber layers from chitosan, gelatin, collagen, and polycaprolactone are used as wound dressings. In tissue engineering, nanofiber materials from collagen, polylactic acid, and polycaprolactone serve as cell substrates, promoting cell proliferation and tissue replacement. The increasing demand for nanofibers in medical applications will positively impact the global medical textiles market.
