Market Drivers and Key Opportunities

Sterilization and infection prevention drive packaging evolution
As hospitals and health systems prioritize patient safety and infection control, the demand for sterile packaging formats continues to rise. Devices such as catheters, surgical kits, and implantables require validated barrier protection, increasing reliance on pouches, trays, and tamper-evident seals.

Demand rises for sustainable and intelligent packaging materials
Plastic remains dominant, but there's growing interest in biodegradable films, recyclable PET, and bio-based polymers. In parallel, RFID-enabled smart packaging, temperature monitoring strips, and anti-counterfeiting labels are becoming essential for device traceability and logistics management.

Diagnostics and point-of-care device boom fuels packaging needs
The post-pandemic healthcare landscape has seen massive growth in point-of-care diagnostics, home-testing kits, and self-use devices-all requiring compact, sterile, and easy-to-use packaging formats. This trend is fueling innovation in pouches, blister cards, and single-use foil wraps.
