Medical plastic packaging films are widely used, not only for the packaging of tablets, powders, and granular medicines, but also for the lining of paste, liquid, and medicine carton packaging, as well as the packaging of medical devices. Commonly used films include shrink film, wrapping Films, multilayer composite films, etc. In pharmaceutical packaging, glass bottles and plastic bottles, which were used in the past, are gradually being replaced by plastic films. In particular, medical liquid plastic flexible packaging such as infusion bags and plasma bags are developing more rapidly.
According to the survey conducted by Freedonia Group Inc., an American industrial market research company, the average annual growth rate of global pharmaceutical packaging demand from 1997 to 2007 was 4.3% (see Table 1). According to the research on the European pharmaceutical packaging market published by the British market intelligence organization, the total annual sales of the European packaging market is 3.246 billion US dollars, and the packaging films and bags for traditional Chinese medicine account for 28%.
The annual output value of my country's pharmaceutical packaging industry is about 15 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of more than 10%. In recent years, the application ratio of plastic products in medical packaging in my country is rapidly increasing. Statistics show that the proportion of aluminum and plastic packaging for pharmaceutical tablets in my country has increased from 10% in 1990 to 40% at present, and medical plastic films have become a new development hotspot for films. It is estimated that in 2005, the demand for plastic packaging for pharmaceutical tablets and capsules in my country will increase to 4 billion.
