Medical Device Packaging

Medical Device Packaging

US demand for medical device packaging is projected to rise 2.9% per year to over $6.7 billion in 2023, with containers accounting for 80% of this amount and packaging accessories the remainder. Demand will grow faster than the value of end-use product shipments as stricter regulations and standards aimed at reducing the incidence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) increase the need for higher value-added containers and related accessories. The development of new advanced products for implantation, major surgery, and other invasive applications will also broaden the need for higher valueadded medical device packaging.
