Technological advances in medical device packaging

With advances in technologies, the packaging of medical devices is becoming easier, which is helping in the growth of the medical device packaging market in North America. Such advances motivate companies to provide innovative solutions to their customer. For instance, in July 2017, Ossid, a subsidiary of Pro Mach, an integrated packaging solutions provider, introduced the Medical 8000S thermoform-fill-seal (TFS) machine. This machine provides efficient and customizable packaging solutions for medical devices with reduced material costs. It can produce a wide range of package types, such as foil packaging, flexible packaging, vacuum packaging, rigid packaging, re-closeable packaging, and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP).

Increased investments in pharmaceutical industry

Investments in the pharmaceutical industry are increasing, which is aiding innovations in the industry. This helps in the development of state-of-the-art medical devices for diagnosis and treatments, which is positively impacting the medical device packaging market in North America. For instance, Johnson & Johnson, a manufacturer of medical devices, and pharmaceutical and consumer packaged goods, spent more than USD 8 billion in R&D in 2016. Thus, with growing investments in the pharmaceutical industry, the demand for innovative packaging is increasing, which is aiding the growth of the medical device packaging market in North America.

Growing pharmaceutical packaging market in North America

The pharmaceutical industry needs reliable packaging solutions with an emphasis on product protection, quality, tamper evidence, patient comfort, and security needs. Continuous improvements and innovations that are taking place in the pharmaceutical industry, such as anti-counterfeit measures, are driving the growth of the market. The anti-counterfeit packaging market in North America is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 14% during the forecast period.

“The vendors in the medical device packaging market in North America are increasingly focusing on sustainability. This rising focus on sustainability by vendors is helping the customers to use environment-friendly packaging solutions, thereby aiding the growth of the medical device packaging market in North America,” says Shakti.
