Feb 26,2021/IndustryNewsGlobal/ The unexpected shifts in the global markets because of the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 virus have brought many major and minor tremors to industries of all sizes including the Medical Adhesives market.
It was estimated prior to this unanticipated outbreak that the Medical Adhesives market was expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period. However, the gradual slowing down of industries will undoubtedly impose limits on the previously estimated growth rate.
Medical adhesives are employed to bond products, such as dialysis filters, syringes, blood bags, and tube connections. Further, they are also used to seal and bind tissues and achieve hemostasis. Medical Adhesives can be categorized based on resin type into natural resin and synthetic and semi-synthetic resin. On the basis of application type, they can be categorized into dental, internal surgery, external surgery, medical device & equipment, and others. By technology type, they can be classified as water-based, solvent-based, and solids & hot-melt-based.
