Medical Grade Paper Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Kraft Paper and Sack Paper), Type (Coated Paper and Uncoated Paper), Application (Ethylene Oxide sterilization, Formaldehyde sterilization, Irradiation sterilization and Steam sterilization), End User and Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Medical Grade Paper Market is accounted for $4512.7 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $6329.2 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period. Medical grade paper is commonly used for medical product packaging due to its strength and well-balanced porosity, and it acts as a suitable protective material for medical equipment, offering a secure and safe barrier. High-purity cellulose fibres are used by producers of medical grade paper to make the product resistant to sterilising techniques and substances including steam, ethylene oxide, formaldehyde, and irradiation. Bandages, catheters, needles, gauges, and other medical supplies are frequently packaged in medical grade paper. It is designed to allow sterilising chemicals to penetrate and is mostly made of cellulose fibres.

According to the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) 2021 report, the pharmaceutical industry devoted US$ 83 billion to R&D expenditures in 2019. Between 2010 and 2019, the number of new drugs approved for sale increased by 60% compared to the previous decade, reaching a high of 59 new drugs approved in 2018.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing Consumption of Medical Supplies

The use of medical equipment has increased significantly. This can be ascribed to the rise in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures as well as the number of elderly patients visiting hospitals for routine examinations and treatments. The requirement for medical supplies including masks, gloves, syringes, needles, and gowns is thus quite high.

Restraint:

Strict regulations

Stringent regulations on manufacturing medical grade paper are hindering the market growth. The introduction of medical grade paper while adhering to stringent governmental standards has been identified as a significant factor constraining the growth of the global medical grade paper market in the approaching years.

Opportunity:

Growing demand for safe and functional packaging

The growing demand for safe and practical packaging materials for a wide range of medical items in the healthcare industry throughout the world drives the medical grade paper market. Medical-grade paper with high porosity, peel-ability, heat seal ability, and organism resistance is becoming more popular in the business. Also, acts as an efficient material for all the instruments, accessories and devices.

Threat:

Availability of alternative products

One of the main factors limiting the growth of the worldwide market for medical grade paper is the availability of substitute goods such as spun bonded olefin for medical packaging purposes. A perfect blend of microbiological penetration resistance, clean peel, rip strength, and puncture resistance may be found in spun bonded olefin.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an influence on medical grade paper. The sector furthermore confronts supply chain interruptions as well as a number of other possible problems, such as financial limits and crises. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, sterile test kits, pharmaceuticals, and medical supplies are being used more often around the world.

The kraft paper segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The kraft paper segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, as kraft paper is used to protect medical instruments against microbial infection. It is made to withstand the demanding processing conditions associated with sterilising and the application of packing converters. This paper may be sterilised using steam, ETO, or gamma radiation. It may be utilised alone or in conjunction with a stretchable transparent film. Kraft paper is typically used to package single-use items like gloves, bandages, and medical equipment including needles, syringes, and scissors.

The pharmaceutical industry segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The pharmaceutical industry segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the wide usage of medical grade paper in the industry. The pharmaceutical sector is one of the most important contributors to the expansion of the medical grade paper market. Kraft and sack paper are frequently utilised in the production of blisters and cardboard for the final packaging of pharmaceutical items. Medical grade papers will continue to be in demand due to the rising need for pharmaceutical products and the booming generic pharmaceutical industry.

Region with highest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the region's ageing population and industrial expansion in numerous areas. Also, increasing collaborations between government and manufacturers attributes to the growth of the market in the region. Additionally, the US dominated the North American market and is anticipated to continue to do so throughout the projected period.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the region's installation of laws governing the dependability and safety of medical devices. Furthermore, the increasing use of medical equipment in hospital settings in emerging nations has increased income possibilities. The medical grade paper market is predicted to rise in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in India and China, since both countries are accelerating economic growth.
