The healthcare packaging market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $112.99 billion in 2023 to $119.16 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to various factors, including consumer expectations, increasing environmental awareness, the emphasis on patient-centric designs, concerns about drug safety, and regulatory changes.
The healthcare packaging market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $156.27 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the rise in pharmaceutical demand, advancements in serialization and traceability technologies, changing dynamics of an aging population, a growing emphasis on customization and personalization, and the expansion of remote healthcare and telemedicine. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass the adoption of sustainable packaging practices, the integration of smart packaging solutions, the development of child-resistant packaging designs, the implementation of personalized packaging approaches, and the incorporation of antimicrobial packaging features.
The anticipated growth in the pharmaceutical business is poised to drive the expansion of the healthcare packaging market. Crucial for the secure and effective delivery of pharmaceutical products, healthcare packaging plays a vital role in safeguarding these products from external factors that could compromise their quality. With the pharmaceutical industry experiencing growth and innovation through new drug development, there is an increasing demand for advanced and specialized healthcare packaging solutions. This surge in demand presents opportunities for packaging manufacturers to create innovative solutions that align with the evolving needs of the pharmaceutical sector. For example, as reported by the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) in June 2022, North America contributed to 49.1% of global pharmaceutical sales in 2021, compared to Europe's 23.4%. The pharmaceutical business invested over $43.15 billion (€39,600 million) in research and development in Europe in 2020, with expectations of further increases in the future. Consequently, the growth of the pharmaceutical business in emerging markets is a driving force for the healthcare packaging market.
The increasing demand for sustainable packaging is anticipated to be a driving factor in the growth of the healthcare packaging market. Sustainable packaging involves designing and producing packaging materials that minimize environmental impact and maximize resource efficiency from material extraction through disposal. In the healthcare industry, there is a growing emphasis on sustainable packaging as companies aim to reduce their environmental footprint. A survey by Shorr Packaging Corp in July 2022 revealed that approximately 86% of US consumers are such as to purchase from a brand offering sustainable packaging, and 76% expect brands to provide 100% sustainable packaging for their products. Consequently, the rising demand for sustainable packaging is fueling the expansion of the healthcare packaging market.
Technological advancements represent a prominent trend in the healthcare packaging market, with major companies adopting new technologies to maintain their market positions. For instance, in August 2021, Amcor Plc., an Australia-based product packaging company, introduced lidding technology for healthcare packaging applications. This patent-protected packaging solution, based on laminate and inert film development, is utilized in devices containing active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) forming the basis of medicine. The technology withstands heat sterilization without impacting drug uptake into the medicine, offering machinability, integrity, post-sterilization, and ease of opening for patients. This lidding technology is primarily employed for combination healthcare products such as contact lenses.
In a bid to gain a competitive edge in the market, major companies in the healthcare packaging sector are focused on developing innovative products, such as all-film packaging. All-film packaging exclusively uses film materials, such as plastic, metalized film, or foil. For instance, in November 2023, Amcor Plc launched Healthcare Recycle-Ready Medical Laminates made entirely of recyclable polyethylene (PE). This sustainable option contrasts with traditional medical laminates often composed of non-recyclable multiple materials. The newly introduced laminates find applications in various medical packaging, including 3D thermoformed packages for drapes, protective materials, catheters, injection systems, and tubing.
In March 2023, Colorcon, Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical manufacturing company, acquired Airnov Healthcare Packaging Inc. from Arsenal Capital Partners for an undisclosed amount. Through these acquisitions, Colorcon Inc. underscores its commitment to investing in cutting-edge technologies that assist producers of health and wellness products in accelerating time to market, enhancing quality, and boosting competitiveness. Airnov Healthcare Packaging Inc. is a France-based manufacturer of healthcare packaging products for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and health supplement sectors.
