Sterile medical packaging keeps medical devices and pharmaceuticals free from contamination. This type of packaging is a vital part in the healthcare sector as it protects and ensures that medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and other healthcare products are not contaminated until they are used. This factor is stimulating growth in the global market.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a favorable impact on the global market. The pandemic disrupted supply chains, which, in turn, resulted in a heightened demand for the product from the healthcare sector. As a result, the demand for packaging materials increased rapidly to protect medical products from contamination and avoid the virus's spread.
