GCC Healthcare Packaging Market

Market Overview:

The GCC healthcare packaging market size reached US$ 2.0 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 3.5 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4% during 2024-2032. 

Healthcare packaging protects packaged medical devices and pharmaceutical products. It generally involves two types of packaging, namely primary and secondary packaging. The primary packaging has direct contact with the product like a bottle, cap, or label. It also safeguards the product from any chemical, climatic, biological, or mechanical hazards. On the other hand, secondary packaging is external to primary packaging and protects the healthcare product and the primary packaging. Healthcare packaging requires mandatory sterilization and is designed to uphold the highest medical guidelines and standards while preserving the integrity of the products.

The GCC healthcare packaging market is primarily driven by the growing population, increasing manufacturing output, and inflating incomes. Several manufacturing plants are being set up locally to create homegrown jobs in the region. Apart from this, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases has resulted in extensive investments in the healthcare sector, which is providing a positive impact on the market. Additionally, research and development (R&D) activities have prompted manufacturers to develop flexible packaging that benefits the environment by saving energy during manufacturing while lowering the space utilization in landfills and minimizing emissions during the distribution process. The market is further being propelled by various initiatives by governments of several GCC countries for introducing cleaner and green packaging at low costs. Moreover, innovations such as the development of child-resistant and tamper-evident packaging are also bolstering the market growth.
