MPN takes on the US
Medical Plastics News announces plans to launch a dedicated US-focussed title that will provide a multi-platform hub for anyone working in the sector.
The medical plastics market is innovative, exciting and of course, global. On MPN we watch closely the developments taking place on the world stage to keep you informed of the latest trends and advances. Presenting the sector’s latest news, thoughts and innovative practices keeps you at the forefront of an industry that’s crucial to advancing healthcare internationally.
With that in mind we have some very exciting news aimed at helping you expand your reach and increase your knowledge of global markets – the launch of a dedicated North American Medical Plastics News.
The current MPN has always maintained a strong connection with its US audience and we’ve noticed that over recent years, this section of our readership is growing making the time right to offer a dedicated publication for this forward-looking region.
Just like the original mag, out new US-focussed title will provide a multi-platform hub for anyone working or targeting this sector. It will be a place to discuss, promote and learn – just like it’s UK counterpart. And with the same quality of readers – senior decision-makers from some of the world’s most influential medical devices OEMS, it will provide increased opportunities for both readers and advertise to reach and communicate with the wider medical device market.
The medical plastics sector is significant. Some estimates place its value reaching $7.54bn by 2022. Within this, North America is said to hold a 43% share of the overall global market. The prominence of the market is evident. Last year Christoph Lhota, vice president for Engel’s medical division, told MPN that he was expecting to see the market for plastic products for medical technologies grow slightly in 2016. He also said: “We also see potential in Europe but it is strongest in North America”.
We wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t keep on top of these trends and failed to reflect their importance to our audience – hence MPN North America. We’re very excited here and we hope you share that enthusiasm as we plan our first issue which will be with you early next year. Please get in touch if you’d like to contribute or just find out more about the new addition to the MPN portfolio.
