INTRODUCTION
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
This study looks in detail at the use of plastics in the packaging of
healthcare products segmented by pharmaceutical and medical packaging.
- Pharmaceutical products, which are defined as drugs in dosage forms that
are purchased and consumed by individual patients, and are either prescribed
by a licensed medical practitioner or are drugs that do not require a
prescription and are purchased by individuals "over the counter" (OTC). These
products are usually packaged in containers, blister packs, bags/pouches, etc.
- Medical products, i.e., those used by medical practitioners themselves, in
hospitals, clinics, home healthcare operations, etc. Examples are syringes,
blood and intravenous solution bags, diagnostic kits, tubing, trays and other
similar items.
The focus of this study is on plastics that are used in packaging of
healthcare products and their various plastic healthcare packaging products.
The objective of this report is to discuss, analyze, and forecast markets for
the use of major plastics used in packaging important healthcare products.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
The objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive reference for those
interested and/or involved in the use of plastics for packaging healthcare
products. This is a wide and varied group of those in the pharmaceutical,
medical and plastics industries.
Healthcare plastics find increased use each year in applications in healthcare
packaging. In these changing times, with emphasis on healthcare cost control,
plastics are increasing their penetration in packaging. This study covers
these changes and provides analyses and forecasts for use of different
plastics in this packaging market.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
This report is intended to assist those involved in plastics, packaging, and
healthcare products. These organizations and people include those involved in
development, formulation, manufacture, sale, and use of plastics in healthcare
packaging
Since a significant market for the use of plastics is the prime focus of this
study, it will be of interest and value to those involved in polymer and
polymer processes, from manufacture of bulk resins to converting and other
plastics fabrication processes. It will also be of major interest to those who
use plastics in packaging healthcare products, both healthcare end-user
companies and contract packagers, along with plastics producers.
Companies and personnel in ancillary businesses such as processing equipment,
additives, and other support chemicals and equipment will find information
useful to their operations. These include process and product development
staff, process and product designers, purchasing agents, construction and
operating personnel, market staff, and top management. This report can be of
great value to technical and business personnel in the following areas, among
others:
- Marketing and management personnel in companies that produce, market, and
sell all types of plastics, i.e., virgin, specially compounded, and recycled.
- Companies that supply or want to supply equipment and services to plastics
processors.
- Financial institutions that provide funding for such facilities, including
banks, merchant bankers, venture capitalists, and others.
- Personnel in end-user companies and industries that purchase and use
packaging plastics ranging from converters, compounders, and molders to
contract packaging companies and healthcare company end-users. Healthcare
packagers are a key group of companies who could be interested, as well.
- Personnel in government at many levels. This includes federal officials,
primarily at the EPA and FDA, who are involved with protection of national
standards regarding public health and safety.
SCOPE OF REPORT
This study covers many of the most important economic, technological,
regulatory, and environmental considerations in U.S. markets for the use of
plastics to package healthcare products.
It is primarily a study of activities and markets in the United States, but
because of the global nature of polymer and packaging chemistry in both the
plastics and healthcare industries, it touches on some noteworthy
international activities.
These are primarily those which can have an impact on U.S. activities and
markets, such as activities of foreign-based companies in U.S. markets, and
international technologies, standards and protocols.
The market volumes in this report refer to the U.S., although there are often
significant amounts of finished products made or shipped offshore. There is
usually less of an impact regarding offshore sourcing in healthcare-related
markets than in most others primarily because of the nature of the industry:
product failures obviously have more a more critical effect on users.
All market volume figures are rounded to the nearest million or billion
pounds. Growth rates are all compounded (signified as compounded average
annual growth rates or CAGRs). Due to this rounding, some growth rates may not
agree exactly with figures in the market tables.
Some topics and materials covered in the text of this report are not included
in the market forecast tables simply because either volumes are too low to
broadly estimate or volumes may be proprietary.
There are also a wide variety of terms used almost interchangeably, which
often makes it difficult to specifically segment several products used in
healthcare packaging because, in many cases, they are multifunctional such as:
- Trays vs. kits
- Pouches vs. bags
- Closures vs. caps
- Containers vs. bottles
- Closures vs. lidding
A final point is that there are often times when there is a need to review
some preliminary but important background details in the detailed
pharmaceutical and medical sections for those readers who purchase certain
sections of the report rather than the complete report
METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCES
Searches were made of the literature, including many of the leading trade
publications, and well as technical compendia, government publications, and
information from trade and other associations. Product and market information
was obtained whenever possible from the principals involved. The information
for the company profiles was obtained primarily from company literature. Other
sources included directories and articles.
