Europe Medical Devices Packaging Market Size

Europe Medical Devices Packaging Market Analysis

The Europe Medical Devices Packaging was valued at USD 5.8 billion in 2019, and it is projected to reach USD 7.421 billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period (2020 - 2025).The healthcare industry in Europe has evolved from its erstwhile traditional form of practice to the current position, where high-tech equipment and instruments are being deployed to improve efficiency. 

• These developments have been providing scope for the expansion of medical appliances and other medical instruments, thus driving the growth of the medical device segment of the market studied.
• With the trend of sterile devices in the region is expanding rapidly, the market is being driven by the increasing number of hospitals, therapeutic equipment manufacturers, and diagnostic centers. With changing end-user requirements and innovations in medical devices, manufacturers are required to address these changes through constant innovations in packaging designs.
• Due to the increasing demand for medical services in countries like the United Kingdom and Germany is expected to experience lucrative growth, as the medical device providers are focusing on the development of high value-added equipment with specialized packing needs. On the other hand, stringent government guidelines and booming healthcare sector are expected to trigger the growth of the market studied, in the region. Thus, medical device packaging is expected to account for a considerable market share, as government regulations monitor the security and protection of therapeutic equipment.
• Furthermore, the rising environmental concerns are expected to stimulate the solution providers to innovate and develop biodegradable packaging solutions for medical devices. For instance, the EU-funded HyperBioCoat project developed and tested new biodegradable hybrid organic-inorganic coatings for use in food, cosmetics and medical device packaging. The coating material based on biopolymers was extracted from lignocellulosic biomass by combining them with the material class of bioORMOCERs. The bioORMOCER coatings are bio-based, biodegradable coatings developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research. Such innovations are further expected to aid in the market growth.
• The healthcare sector has faced an unprecedented challenge due to the pandemic, and hence, is receiving immense support from global governments and other organizations, to expand and innovate their offering, to provide medical support to the huge number of patients. Also, sterilization is playing a vital role in preventing the transmission of the virus, due to which several prominent market players are persistently manufacturing sterile medical packaging, such as containers, pouches and wraps to protect products against unintended transmissions. This is expected to increase the demand for medical device packaging solutions.
