Key initiatives such as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Medicaid undertaken by the Government of the U.S. have enabled a large percentage of the population of the country to have access to effective and improved healthcare facilities and services. 

This has fueled the demand for branded drugs, medical devices, and healthcare services in the U.S., thereby driving the consumption of super-absorbent polymer in the country for developing disposable medical connectors, syringes, depth filters, etc.

In addition, the constantly rising patient population in the U.S., in addition to the effects of the spread of COVID-19 at the community level in the country in 2020, is projected to lead to the increased demand for various plastic-based medical products such as syringes, gloves, adult diapers, and masks.
