At 2.2% CAGR, the MEA Medical Grade Paper Market is projected to be worth US$ 106.42 million by 2028, says Business Market Insights              

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the MEA medical grade paper market was valued at US$ 93.41 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 106.42 million by 2028, registering an annual growth rate of 2.2% from 2022 to 2028. Growing scales of production of single-use medical devices and growth in demand for sustainable packaging solutions suitable for maintaining sterility are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.               

The production of single-use medical devices has rapidly increased after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. These medical devices are becoming more common as they contribute to the reduction of costs, improvement of efficiencies, and low spread of infection. The sterile status of a product must be intact from its packaging to the point of opening at the final application area as the shelf life of the majority of single-use devices is 3–5 years. Kraft-based medical packaging, which is generally used for single-use devices, can tear, or burst during packing or transportation. In May 2021, Neenah, Inc., one of the top providers of reinforced medical packaging materials in North America, announced the addition of an ultra-lightweight option to their line of single-use sterile packaging. This novel, high-performance solution offers the market a long-lasting, cost-effective replacement for the conventional kraft and synthetic-based medical packaging used for syringes, nasal swabs, and other single-use applications. Increasing incidence of chronic and acute diseases, infectious diseases, and various other medical conditions are projected to raise the demand for single-use medical products, which are emerging as a major trend in the medical grade paper market.

On the contrary, availability of alternative products secret hurdles the growth of MEA medical grade paper market.
