June 4, 2025 Off By Sebastian Reisig

The global medical flexible packaging market is projected to grow from $20.22 billion in 2024 to $27.72 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%, according to a new report by The Research Insights.

Growth is driven by rising demand for sterile, single-use medical products following global health concerns and stricter infection control protocols. Medical professionals increasingly favor pouches, bags, and peelable sachets for their versatility and sterility assurance.

The report highlights trends such as sustainable materials, smart packaging with tracking features (e.g., QR codes and NFC), and the rising use of biodegradable and recyclable films. North America leads the market, while Asia Pacific shows the fastest growth due to expanding healthcare access and manufacturing investments.

Plastics dominate as the primary packaging material, while pharmaceutical manufacturing is the largest end-use segment. Pouches and bags remain the top packaging format due to their flexibility, protection, and compatibility with various sterilization methods.
