- For instance, in November 2023, DermaMed Coatings, a manufacturer of high-performance pressure-sensitive adhesives, introduced its new product, DM-8041. It is a tape featuring a clear bilateral tear, polypropylene film, and ease of application.
Moreover, increasing awareness about stick-to skin adhesives and increased accessibility with the evolution of online e-commerce portals are positively driving the growth and expansion of the global market.
However, the existence of lower-quality adhesives is affecting consumers perceptions of medical stick-to-ski adhesives, and the higher costs associated with them are hampering the growth of the market.
Growth Drivers
- Rising surgical procedures in the worldwide market
The rising minimally invasive surgeries are emphasizing the need for medical stick-to-skin adhesives, contributing to the increased demand for the product in the coming years. They usually involve smaller or no-invasion procedures based on the patient's condition. They require advanced medical technologies, including stick-to-skin adhesives. According to the 2022 study published in PubMed Central, the utilization of minimally invasive surgeries in the United States is gaining momentum based on the new data set focused on data between 2016 and 2018. Ambulatory MIS procedures showed a rising trend, with growth of 16.9%, 17.4%, and 18% in 2016, 1017, and 2018, respectively. This factor is expected to contribute to the growth of the market during the forecast timeframe.
Furthermore, researchers are working on exploring the functioning of stick-to-skin adhesives, filling the research gaps. A 2023 study focused on revealing the potential outcomes of adhesive application to skin without and after cleansing with alcohol and water, with a view to measuring peel strength. The study concluded that repetitive use of adhesives led to lower peel strength, and skin preparation with alcohol and water before application improved peel strength by 1.1% and 2.9%, respectively.
