Summary
US sterile medical packaging demand will grow 5.4 percent yearly through 2008. Stimulants include stricter infection controls and higher value packaging that also delivers drugs. Thermoformed trays and pouches will remain dominant while prefillable syringes lead gains. Medical supplies and devices will outpace the pharmaceuticals market.
This study analyzes the $1.6 billion US sterile medical packaging industry. It presents historical demand data (1993, 1998, 2003) and forecasts to 2008 and 2013 by market (e.g., pharmaceutical, medical supplies and devices, diagnostic products); by product (e.g., thermoformed trays, pouches, prefillable syringes, vials, IV containers, blister packs and clamshells, bags, plastic bottles); and by material (e.g., plastic resins, paper and paperboard).
The study also examines the market environment, details industry structure and market share, and profiles 42 major producers including Perfecseal, Amcor, Hospira, SCHOTT, and Medline Industries.
