MEA Medical Devices Packaging Market Analysis

The MEA Medical Devices Packaging Market size is estimated at USD 1.97 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 2.46 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.47% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The surge in demand for medical devices drives the need for protective packaging. The Middle East and Africa made considerable progress in developing healthcare systems and the improvement of health outcomes among their populations over the past few decades.

  • The Middle East and Africa healthcare industry is seeing increased demand for sterile medical packaging. Plastics, paper, and paperboard have several advantages, including recyclability, low weight, and durability. Medical device packaging plays an essential role in safeguarding the safety and effectiveness of medical devices. Packaging protects devices from harm, contamination, and manipulation during transport and storage and conveys critical data to healthcare providers and patients.
  • Pouch packaging has been demonstrated to be an effective method of packaging medical devices. Not only are pouches lightweight, portable, and convenient to store, but they also contribute to product sterility, protection, and safety maintenance. The design, materials, and barrier protection can be tailored to the specific application to maximize the benefits of medical pouch packaging. Furthermore, rising applications in the unit-of-use packaging of small to medium-sized medical devices, appliances, and supplies will likely drive increased demand for pouches. Pouch packaging demand is projected to be influenced by the growing usage of diagnostic test packs, prefilled inhalers, and surgical and dental trays in secondary packaging.
  • Diabetes has been identified as the seventh leading cause of death globally and in the region. In addition, diabetes is a significant cause of disability and is associated with an increased risk of blindness, cardiovascular disease, lower limb amputation, and kidney failure. According to the International Diabetes Federation, Africa, the Middle East, and North Africa will have the highest increase in the number of people with diabetes worldwide between 2021 and 2045 (134%). These incidents have increased the demand for sterile packaging as these medicines have a high risk of contamination, boosting the demand for sterile medical device packaging.
  • Additionally, the Saudi government is investing heavily in developing the healthcare sector, which is expected to boost the healthcare market. The government is focusing on improving the quality of healthcare services, implementing advanced healthcare technologies, and increasing the number of hospitals and healthcare centers. The Saudi FDA is responsible for registering, evaluating, and approving drugs and medical devices in the country. This will ultimately impact on the growth of the target market.
  • However, the Saudi Standardization, Metrology, and Quality Organization (SASO) issued new regulations for plastic items in Saudi Arabia. The plastic must be OXO-biodegradable, and all plastic goods entering the nation must be registered with and certified by SASO for use in commercial or industrial settings. So, it is anticipated that various government laws will impede the development of medical device plastic packaging in the country.
