Medical Flexible Packaging Industry Overview

The global medical flexible packaging market size is expected to reach USD 26.3 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2021 to 2028. Increasing demand for pharmaceutical products in emerging economies as well as growing demand for drug delivery systems in developed countries are driving the growth of the market. The use of flexible packaging is increasing in the healthcare industry as the companies operating in the industry are opting for sustainable functions and materials, such as paper. Paper-based packaging is included in green packaging as it is highly recyclable and economical.

The flexible packaging is well suitable for single-time use. This is especially beneficial in the packaging of single-use products, which are becoming increasingly popular to avoid the risk of cross-contamination. The products can be sterilized along with the packaging, which has reduced the chance of contamination while manufacturing the products.
