Global Plastic Healthcare Packaging Market Overview
Plastic healthcare packaging refers to the packaging of the devices, drugs and other healthcare products in a secured manner. Packaging is one of the major industries in the world in which the healthcare packaging represents a smaller share. The pharmaceutical packaging has become the important part of the drug delivery system as well as the major component of the marketing mix, which helps to distinguish the product from one competitor to another. Healthcare packaging helps to protect the product from the materialistic damage, biological contamination and other unfavorable external influences that can interfere with the properties of the product and makes it unsuitable for the use.
Healthcare packaging can further be bifurcated into the primary packaging, secondary packaging and tertiary packaging. Primary packaging includes cap, labels, bottles, cap liner and others such as blisters, tubes, syringes and inhalers. Secondary packaging consists of corrugated shippers, pallets and cartoons. This packaging aims to provide additional packaging to the product and helps to make the product suitable for the transportation use. Patients have directly benefitted from plastic packaging which is provided to the healthcare products. The anti-microbial plastic has been created and used in the healthcare product that reduces the risks of infection to the patients. The use of safety measures designed into the plastic components has led to a significant impact on increased safety of patients. For example, virtually all pharmaceutical packaging has tamper proof measures such as blister caps and childproof caps. Additionally the plastics do not shatter, which makes it generally safer than the glass for transport or storage of hazardous materials and specimens. Plastics also effectively preserve the integrity of other materials, by the use of protective coatings. Further, the plastics have helped to reduce the medical costs, for the medical providers and the reduction in costs are sometimes passed to the consumers.
