Still importing medical products and consumables? Here's why you should consider manufacturing locally with Ami Polymer

Express Healthcare

August 2025

India's medical device industry is witnessing remarkable growth, with a projected market size of USD 50 billion by 2030. However, despite the booming domestic ecosystem and advanced manufacturing capabilities, a significant share of medical-grade silicone and plastic components are still being imported. This dependency leads to longer lead times, higher costs, and supply chain disruptions — all of which can be avoided by partnering with Indian manufacturer like Ami Polymer Pvt. Ltd.
