One major restraint for bio-based polypropylene in medical devices market is the higher cost associated with production and processing of bio-based materials compared to traditional plastics. The initial investment required for setting up bio-based polypropylene manufacturing facilities can be a barrier for smaller manufacturers and may hinder widespread adoption.
Supply chain disruptions and limited availability of raw materials for bio-based polypropylene production can also pose a challenge for the medical devices market. Dependence on agricultural feedstock and fluctuating prices of natural resources can impact the production and pricing of bio-based polypropylene, affecting its competitiveness in the market.
