Market Definition 

The medical enclosure is a device used for placing medical instruments such as medical thermometers, surgical products, blood/sugar meters, operation theatre equipment and many other devices safely; body organs and other medical items.  

Global medical enclosures market is estimated to reach $XX billion by 2026; growing at a CAGR of 8.1% till 2026. 

Market Dynamics 

Technological advancements in medical enclosures is a key driving factor of the market. The rapidly growing world of medical advancements, companies are developing medical enclosures for various medical applications. For instance, TransMedics has developed plastic medical enclosure, OCS Organ Care System is a medical transportation unit used to transport living organ from one location to another. The OCS Organ Care System keeps organ warm with blood flow while it travels thousands of miles. The enclosures are pressure formed from a clear poly-carbonate that enables visual monitoring of the organ being transported. Further, OKW Gehäusesysteme has introduced small EVOTEC 100 is ideal for applications that require reduced installation volume. EVOTEC 100 enclosures are suitable for harsh working environments. It has wall suspension element for the sizes 200/250, and the possible applications would be measurement and control engineering, GSM modules, networks, control technology, medical and laboratory technology, and information technology. However, the risk associated with medical enclosures might hamper the market growth. For instance, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has revoked the emergency use authorization (EUA) issued for pressure protective barrier enclosures that are intended to be a physical barrier preventing healthcare provider exposure to airborne pathogens. Moreover, government initiatives for the development of medical enclosures would provide lucrative opportunities for the market in the coming years. 

Market Segmentation 

The global medical enclosures market is mainly classified based on type and application. Type is further segmented into Metallic and Non-Metallic. By application, the market is divided into Implants, Diagnostic, Medical Disposable, and Therapeutic Device.  

The non-Metallic segment showed significant growth in 2019, owing to the advancement in technology, regulatory approval of medical enclosures, the collaboration between companies to develop medical enclosures, and commercialization of new medical enclosures. For instance, OKW Enclosures has introduced SMART-CONTROL, the first plastic electronic enclosure designed for room corners. The enclosure can be mounted on ceilings and walls using a suspension element, or on a table-top using a desktop stand. The SMART-CONTROL is designed for a wide range of applications including security and monitoring, gateways, measurement and control, sensors, control electronics, environmental technology, IoT and IIoT, medical, and laboratory technology. 

Regional Analysis 

Based on geography, the global medical enclosures market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa. North America is further divided in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, whereas Europe consists of the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Rest of Europe. Asia-Pacific is segmented into India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific.
