Increasing need for the Medication and Healthcare Services
Rise in the development of the diseases and increasing need for the medication and healthcare services have driven the medical industry also ultimately pushing the packaging industry as rise in the production of drugs and alternative medical products can increase the requirement for the packaging materials. The growing incidence of chronic diseases worldwide has emerged as a serious concern among the world population. This rise is, in turn, driving the demand for medical drugs and devices, which creates a positive atmosphere for medical packaging.
Government Initiatives
Initiatives taken by governments to reduce the wastage of medicines have driven the global medical packaging market. In addition to this, an increased access to healthcare insurance has led to a rise in demand for customized medication. These drugs require a special kind of packaging for the product sustainability, thereby leading to a surge in the healthcare packaging market. In addition, an increased awareness of the environmental issues leading to rise in the need for efficient and sustainable packaging has contributed to the market’s growth. Moreover, rising disposable income in the developed countries has led to a greater investment in healthcare. This has impacted the global medical packaging market, thus contributing to its expansion.
Non-Degradable Material
Majority of the packaging is made from the plastic material which is non degradable and keeps stacking in the environment causing pollution. Biodegradation is one of the major factors that may hamper the growth of medical packaging market. Moreover, packaging errors is a major factor that increases the patient safety issues.
The global medical packaging market is anticipated to record a CAGR of around 7% over the forecast period i.e. 2019-2027. Increase in population and their health requirements, increase in prevalence diseases, continual attempts of consumers, manufacturers, and governments to increase the level of infection control, and increasing favorable healthcare policies are the major factors driving the growth of the global medical packaging market. According to the European Heart Network (2017), cardiovascular disease (CVD) are responsible for 3.9 million deaths in Europe and over 1.8 million deaths in the European Union (EU) per year. Moreover, in 2015, 11.3 million new cases diagnosed with CVD in Europe and 6.1 million new cases of CVD in the EU. Increasing number of patients with these diseases drives the demand for quality equipment and drugs. Thus, medical packaging plays an important role in avoiding exposure of the drugs to external environments such as microorganism in order to maintain the quality of equipment and drugs.

Global medical packaging market is further classified on the basis of region as follows:
In 2023, market players might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain.
Controlling Inflation has become the first priority for global economies from last quarter of 2022 and to be followed in 2023. With skewed economic situations, rise in interest rate by governments to control spending and inflation, spiked oil and gas prices, high inflation, geo-political issues including U.S. & China trade war, Russia-Ukraine conflict to intensify the global economic issues.
The interest rates in the U.S. may be less sensitive in 2023 as compared to 2022; sigh of relief for businesses. Positive business sentiments, healthy business balance sheets, growth in construction spending (private construction value in 2022 stood at $1,429.2 billion, 11.7 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $1,279.5 billion spent in 2021, Residential construction in 2022 was $899.1 billion, up by 13.3 percent (±2.1 percent) from $793.7 billion in 2021, non-residential construction touched $530.1 billion, 9.1 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $485.8 billion in 2021.) showcases minimal impact of recession in the country.
Similarly, spiked spending in the European and major Asia economics including, India, China & Japan to showcase less impact on the global demand.
