Due to increased consumption of medical devices and rising healthcare costs in major economies, the international market for medical device packaging has shown spectacular expansion in recent years. The market report predicts that from 2021 to 2031, demand will grow at a CAGR of 7.4%, mostly due to significant expenditures on developing cutting-edge technologies.

The worldwide medical device packaging market is expanding due to the growing need for packaging products that are simple to use and dispose of.

There is a considerable need for packaging options that preserve the quality of the product and the container. Medical device packaging protects medical equipment from stress, rupturing, movement, ripping, exploding, cracking, and changes in air humidity. It is projected that this necessity for protection would be a major factor in the expansion of the worldwide medical device packaging market.

Within the next ten years, the medical device packaging industry is expected to be dominated by Europe. The United Kingdom is one of the biggest suppliers of medical gadgets, which is thought to be the cause of this growth. Additionally, this market isn’t going anywhere soon. It is constantly subjected to developments. The second place spot goes to North America. China, Japan, and India are the three dominant nations in the Asia-Pacific region.

Medical device packaging is becoming increasingly necessary, especially in developed countries like North America, Europe, and Asia. Factors influencing medical device packaging revenues include the development of anti-counterfeit containers and the shift in the industry from glassware to plastic containers. 

The disposable products category is anticipated to dominate in volume and value. Additionally, the area of implanted devices is still developing, and safe packing is essential. Although the pandemic severely harmed cosmetic implants, the current scenario is anticipated to spur the industry toward development as the world is recovering from the impact of the pandemic.

The worldwide medical device packaging market is divided into three segments based on end-user: medical supplies, contractual packaging, and others. Based on CAGR, contract packaging is anticipated to become the fastest-growing market.

Packaging demand worldwide includes pouches, zip-lock bags, trays, containers, clamshell blister packs, flow wraps, and boxes. Among the packaging types, bags and pouches make up a sizable portion of the global marketplace for the packaging of medical devices.

The subcategories of trays include plastic medical trays, medical shipping trays, or medical inspection trays. Vinyl serves several purposes because of its high mechanical strength; however, alternative forms of polymers are also used. 

Based on material type, the worldwide medical device packaging market is divided into Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Polystyrene, Polyvinyl chloride, Polyethylene terephthalate, Glass, Aluminium, Fabric, and Paper Laminates, fabric. Polyethylene is further divided into High-density polyethylene, Low - density polyethylene, and Linear Low-Density Polyethylene. 

Paper laminates are the second most favoured material after PE. Aluminium, mostly used as a foil, is the material of choice when protecting against air, humidity, and sunlight. 

However, it is a well-known truth that plastics look better overall. Plastics have better visibility in all forms, from transparent to opaque. They are also super strong, adjustable, sterile, and secure. Other benefits of plastics are their affordability and lightweight.

In 2020, industries of all sizes and sectors were affected by COVID-19. For medical packing, the situation was quite the contrary. Growing infection rates and sales of medication used to treat multiple respiratory disorders indicated a rise in medical package purchases. An increase in overall drug sales was also a major factor, as lockdown conditions imposed by many nations worldwide led to unnecessary purchases.

In 2020, the overall impact of the pandemic on medical packaging demand was a 5.4% increase year on year.

The main market participants are Becton, Dickinson and Company, Ardagh Group S.A., 3M Company, Berry Global Group, Inc., Amcor Plc, Sealed Air Corporation, UDG Healthcare plc, West Pharmaceutical Services Inc., Constantia Flexibles Group GmbH, Gerresheimer AG, and Nipro Corporation.
