The growing global population is forcing countries to increase the production of necessary products, from agriculture to medicine. This is fueling the expansion of medical, food, and other industries in the world. This trend is likely to facilitate a favorable market for medical flexible packaging over the forecast period. In addition, the increasing prevalence of new health problems with changing consumer eating patterns is anticipated to create demand for the medical packaging industry in the long run.
The changing medical requirements are further encouraging producers to invest in new product development activities, driving innovations in the medical flexible packaging industry. For instance, in February 2024, Aptar CSP Technologies, in collaboration with ProAmpac, announced the launch of active moisture-adsorbents for medical applications, primarily for drugs, probiotics, continuous glucose monitoring devices, and more.
The firm's increasing focus on adopting efficient packaging for their medicinal goods is that it can cause huge costs to patients, driving the use of prominent packaging for sealing, wrapping, and labeling medicines and healthcare equipment. The increasing production of convenient and flexible medical packaging tools is promoting their availability in the marketplace, leading to stable market prices that are affordable to pharmaceutical companies. Furthermore, the growing manufacturing of medicines is expected to necessitate the need for durable packaging over the forecast period.
The ongoing studies exploring the production of medical flexible packaging are likely to propel market expansion in the next few years. For instance, in November 2023, Coveris, a medical packaging producer, announced the launch of a new flexible and recyclable thermoforming solution, Formpeel P, for medical packaging applications.
Additionally, the significant rise in demand for medical flexible packaging is motivating companies to boost their brand coverage and production capacity in the marketplace. For instance, in July 2023, Olive Healthcare Packaging completed the acquisition of EK-Pack Folien, a film and foil technology producer, to expand its medical packaging production capacity.
