INTRODUCTION
The Medical Technology Industry is making important contributions to advances in healthcare supported by emerging
polymeric materials and technologies for processing of the materials. The global medical technology industry invests
heavily in Research and Development. This has resulted in a significant impact on medical technology through advances in
polymeric material science thereby growth of the medical polymers' market. In 2020 , over 32 billion pounds of
healthcare plastics were produced globally, and is expected to grow to 48 billion pounds by 2025. The Indian MedTech
industry with significant contribution from Medical Polymers is also expected to grow at more than 15%. This growth is
driven by increasing healthcare expenditure, rising demand for minimally invasive surgeries, and the prevalence of
chronic diseases
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
As you are aware, the Medical Technology Industry is making important contributions to advances in healthcare supported
by emerging polymeric materials and technologies for processing of the materials. The healthcare plastics sector is
expected to grow to 48 billion pounds by 2025.In India too, the MedTech industry with significant contribution from
Medical Polymers is also expected to grow at more than 15 % .
Looking to the changing scenarios , The Society of Plastic Engineers ( SPE India ) , Medical Plastics Division
alongwith Indian Plastics Institute ( IPI ), Bangalore Chapter is organizing ,"The 4th National Seminar On : Emerging
Trends, Innovations and Opportunities In Plastics for Medical Devices and Healthcare Sectors"with the major objective
to discuss the latest trends in the Medical Device and Medical Plastics Industry and the challenges in the areas of
Technology, Material science, Testing and Policy framework..An initial Seminar brochure is attached herewith.
For your information, I am pleased to introduce the two leading professional organizations as under :
Society Of Plastics Engineers ( SPE ) INDIA Medical Plastics Division, founded in 1942, with 60000 stakeholders from 84
countries unites plastics professionals worldwide - helping them succeed and strengthening their skills through
networking, events, training and knowledge sharing. SPE INDIA Medical Plastics Division encourages the interchange of
technical and regulatory information on polymer materials / components used in Medical Devices among scientists and
engineers who are working in Medical Devices and related industries. Indian Plastics Institute ( IPI ) - Bangalore
Chapter IPI is a strong Professional Body of Industrialists, Plastic Technologists, Academicians, Economists and
Students, spread over 14 Chapters across India and 2 Overseas Association partnerships with Sri Lanka & Nepal.
Indian Plastics Institute ( IPI ) - Bangalore Chapter : IPI is a strong Professional Body of Industrialists, Plastic
