Report : Asia Pacific Medical Grade Paper Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Product (Kraft Paper and Sack Paper), Application (Steam Sterilization, Ethylene Oxide Sterilization, Formaldehyde Sterilization, and Irradiation Sterilization), and End User (Hospital, Diagnostic and Research Center, Pharmaceutical Industry, and Other)
At 4.4% CAGR, the APAC Medical Grade Paper Market is speculated to be worth US$ 1522.55 million by 2028, says Business Market Insights
According to Business Market Insights’ research, the APAC medical grade paper market was valued at US$ 1172.85 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 1522.55 million by 2028, registering an annual growth rate of 4.4% from 2022 to 2028. growth in demand for sustainable packaging solutions and growing scales of production of single-use medical devices are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.
Sustainability—particularly regulatory and public concerns around single-use packaging waste—is combined with other influential trends to drive significant changes in the packaging operations. With the growing focus of regulators on sustainability, healthcare, and medical device companies, as well as retailers, are proactively making bold commitments to make their packaging operations sustainable by fundamentally revisiting these operations. However, for packaging converters, the main focus and innovation capabilities is on the new landscape which could offer significant growth and new partnership opportunities to support customers in revising their packaging portfolios. As consumer demand increases and regulatory requirements multiply, converters will have to proactively embrace sustainability issues in the future. Manufacturers are concerned about the environmental effects of their products and are capitalizing on “reduce, reuse, and recycle.” Growing energy and resin costs may make these eco-friendly steps particularly appealing. Further, maintaining a balance between more demanding production schedules, and product & package sustainability is a major challenge to the packaging industry. To overcome this hurdle, healthcare product manufacturers must implement packaging solutions that minimize the environmental impact of expanding product lines, introduce sustainability practices into new delivery systems, seek utility savings in new automation strategies, and leverage serialization. Combining pharmaceutical products with medical device delivery systems can make the final product simpler and more convenient, ultimately requiring less packaging. As an example, pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers are creating implantable devices that also deliver drugs. Moreover, to ensure sustainability, manufacturers are making investments in the creation of more inventive packaging solutions and using materials such as paper, paperboard, and polymers. To preserve qualities that are essential for sterile barrier performance, along with sustainable packaging, medical packaging firms are investing in research and development operations for launching next-generation polymers. Thus, the growing focus on the aspect of sustainability is providing significant opportunities to the medical grade paper market players.
