Factors Affecting the Growth of the Medical Flexible Packaging Industry:

• Increasing Demand for Sterile Medical Packaging:

The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing need for sterile medical packaging. This need comes from a growing awareness of hospital-acquired infections and an increasing focus on safety and protection of patients. Sterile flexible packaging pouches, wraps, and bags is necessary for packaging medical devices and pharmaceutical products into a sterile state. Sterile packaging is intended to preserve the sterility of medical devices and/or medicines and to protect them from contamination or degradation which is critical for medical products. It is clear with advancements in medical procedures and the introduction of sophisticated medical devices, there is an increasing demand for sterile, reliable, good quality packaging.

• Advancements in Material Science and Technology:

Flexible packaging materials used today are modern and offer high barrier properties, or protection against moisture, oxygen, light, and contamination. It is essential to note that packaging materials not only need to be effective but also must be lightweight, require less storage space, and flexibility is of great importance in medical applications. Some of the innovations in polymer science are more environment-friendly, and packaging is being developed cost-effectively. Developments in technology and manufacturing methods are increasing packaging options (more functionality, physical designs, etc.) for medical products like child-resistant, and tamper evident packaging for medical products. The benefits to these new technologies in flexible and rigid materials are improved safety and efficacy with patients receiving medical products and operational efficiencies in a healthcare setting.

• Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases and Aging Population:

The rise of chronic conditions around the world, along with the growing aging population, is contributing to the growth of the market. Chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory conditions require the provision of medicines and medical care over the long-term, which creates a continued demand for pharmaceutical products and medical devices. Flexible packaging has an important role in protecting the safety, integrity, and shelf-life of these products. In addition, the growth of medical products being used, including over-the-counter (OTC) medications, prescriptions, and medical devices to treat various chronic conditions, increases the demand for high-quality packaging. This demand is compounded by the emphasis on user-friendly packaging designs that meet the unique needs of older adults, such as ease of opening and reading labels.
