These players adopted various strategies to expand their global presence and increase their market share. Mergers & acquisitions, expansions, and new product launches are some of the major strategies adopted by the players to achieve growth in the medical packaging market.

Mergers & acquisitions, collectively, accounted for the largest share of 58% of the total strategic developments in the global medical packaging market. Companies adopted this strategy to expand their geographical reach, acquire new projects, strengthen their product & service portfolios, and cater to untapped markets. Avery Dennison Corporation (U.S.), 3M Company (U.S.), E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (U.S.), were the major companies that adopted this strategy.

3M is one of the key players in the medical packaging category. The company emphasizes on R&D activities; it invested 1.80 billion towards R&D to develop new technology and offer advanced products. The company used mergers & acquisitions as its key strategy for its growth in the medical packaging industry. The company, in March 2015, acquired Ivera Medical Corp. (U.S.), a manufacturer of healthcare products. The business is now a wholly owned subsidiary of 3M and a part of its Critical & Chronic Care Solutions Division.

WestRock makes high investments in the field of packaging. The company focuses on expanding its business, both geographically and in terms of end-use applications.
