Sterile Medical Packaging to 2012 (US industry forecasts for 2012 & 2017)
|
Abstract
US demand to reach $6.5 billion in 2012
Demand for sterile medical packaging products is projected to reach $6.5
billion in 2012. Growth will be driven by the shift to an older demographic,
which will lead to a rising incidence of acute and chronic conditions and an
increasing volume of patient activity. Upward trends in patient activity will
broaden the overall use of sterile medical products, impacting favorably on
demand for related packaging. In addition to greater patient activity, the
sterile medical packaging market will benefit from ongoing new product
introductions and the upgrading of health care infection prevention standards.
Advancing medical technologies are expanding the market for sterile medical
packaging by leading to the introduction of new end-use products. Virtually
all biotechnology-based pharmaceuticals, biologicals and diagnostic substances
are contaminant-vulnerable compounds that must be stored and dispensed under
sterile conditions. Moreover, many of the new medical devices reaching the
commercial stage are implantable or direct contact products composed of
sterile biocompatible components. Prefillable containers, closures to be
fastest growing The fastest gains are anticipated for prefillable syringes,
vials and ampuls, prefillable inhalers and closures. Growth in these segments
will be driven largely by the introduction of new drug therapies based on
biotechnology and rapid growth in the number of conditions treated by
injectable and inhaled drugs.
While glass vials will maintain the largest share of units and revenues based
on inherent chemical and moisture resistance, high purity and well-established
applications, plastic vials will command slightly faster growth opportunities
due to improving intrinsic properties, reduced shipping weight and less
vulnerability to breakage.
Pharmaceuticals, biologicals to remain largest application
Based on trends in production volume and mix, product research and
development, and government regulation, pharmaceuticals and biologicals will
remain the largest and fastest growing application for sterile medical
packaging. Advances in less invasive techniques will temper growth
opportunities for most sterile products employed in surgery, IV
administration, dialysis and many other patient procedures.
Plastics to continue benefiting from performance advantages
Growth for plastic materials will reflect a favorable mix of cost, performance
and processing factors, which will expand applications in pharmaceuticals and
biologicals, medical supplies and devices, in vitro diagnostics and dental
products. The leading position held by plastic resins in most sterile medical
packaging segments reflects ongoing innovations and performance improvements
in compounds. Technological advances have made available polymers that meet
the total packaging needs of medical and related products for
biocompatibility, strength, chemical and impact resistance, infection
prevention, clarity, sterilization compatibility, processing ease, and overall
quality and cost efficiency.
