Medical device packaging is utilized for storing, transporting, and protecting the medical devices. The packaging must maintain the sterility of the medical device until its usage. Moreover, the packaging includes protection of both rigid and flexible type of products. Manufacturers responsible for packaging system design are required to offer a secured and effective packaging system. The main objective of the packaging is to keep the products free from microbial contamination and maintain sterile condition. Packaging helps the medical devices against tearing, vibration, splitting, damaging, and atmospheric changes. The investments and advancements in the healthcare industry are anticipated to expand the production of medical devices and medical appliances, which in turn contributes to the growth of the market.

The increasing demand for medical devices such as surgical implants and instruments, medical supplies, electro-medical equipment, in-vitro diagnostic equipment and reagents, irradiation apparatuses, and dental goods has been driving the demand for medical device packaging products. Unhealthy lifestyles of people have been resulting in the high prevalence of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, and arthritis, in recent years, especially in developed economies. These above-mentioned diseases require various medical equipment for diagnosing and treatment and have been contributing to the growth of the medical device market over the past five years.
