The folding carton market in healthcare will grow from USD 3.75 billion in 2025 to USD 7.05 billion by 2034, at a CAGR of 7.25%. This growth happens because more people are living with chronic diseases and the aging population is using more over-the-counter and prescription drugs, which increases the need for folding carton packaging in healthcare.
