The healthcare sector in Pakistan is expanding, and so does the number of laboratory tests.
One such test is urine examination.
And urine plastic containers are an integral part of urine examination tests; they are the ones that store urine. Hospitals, clinics, and medical laboratories need them every day.
Currently, the urine containers market in Pakistan stands at PKR 8.93 billion in 2026, with an estimated annual growth rate of 5.8%.
The market could reach PKR 13.96 billion by 2034.
Population growth, more healthcare facilities, and greater awareness of medical testing may support this demand.
You can manufacture these containers locally.
Urine Container | Product Overview
As you might already know, a urine container is a plastic cup or bottle used to collect, store, and carry urine samples.
The three common sizes covered in this setup are 60ml, 90ml, and 120ml.
It has two main parts: the container and its lid. The container bottle is made of polyethylene (PE), while the lid is made of polypropylene (PP).
Both parts are made through injection molding.
What Does a Urine Container Manufacturing Setup Include?
A complete urine container manufacturing setup includes:
- Injection molding machine (one or two units)
- Container mold
- Lid mold
- Vacuum autoloader
- Hopper dryer
- Air-cooled chiller
- Granulator or crusher
The proposed production line (that we will be discussing in this guide) uses the Tederic DT250/i1100 servo-hybrid injection molding machine.
Both molds have 8 cavities. This means each cycle produces eight containers or eight lids.
With one injection molding machine, the manufacturer can make both parts in separate runs. However, the mold must be changed when switching between containers and lids.
With two machines, both parts can be made at the same time. One machine produces containers, while the other produces lids.
How Much Does the Whole Setup Cost?
The estimated investment depends on the number of injection molding machines.
The one-machine setup costs around PKR 2 crore 70 lakh.
The two-machine setup costs around PKR 5.01 crore.
In the two-machine setup, there will be two injection molding machines, along with all the auxiliaries needed to make it run properly.
The good is: double production.
The urine container bottle will be produced on one machine, while lids will be produced independently on the second machine.
Another plus point is that you won’t need to change the mold for the container bottle and lid as you would do in the case of a single-machine setup.
The right option depends on the budget, sales targets, and production needs.
What Is the Expected Production?
Urine container production is different for a single-machine and a dual-machine setup.
But from here onwards, we are calculating production, estimated profit, ROI, and other aspects for a dual-machine setup in which both the container and lid will be produced simultaneously.
In this setup, both molds (for container and lid) are 8-cavity.
Here are the production details for urine container manufacturing:
These figures apply to one type of part at a time.
With two machines working, one can make containers while the other makes lids. Both parts combine to make complete sets of 1200 to 1440 pieces/hour.
What Is the Profit Potential and ROI Period?
Profit depends on the selling price, production costs, and number of units sold.
However, the profit margin is about 20% to 30% in urine container manufacturing.
This means selling a 60ml urine container with its lid for PKR 10 will generate an average profit of PKR 2.5 per set (expected).
On paper, with a setup like this whose per-hour production reaches 1440 sets/hour, the profit margin can be up to PKR 3,600.
Running this setup for 16 hours daily will mean a profit of PKR 57,600.
Based on the provided figures, the investment could be recovered in around 2 years and 4 months with 16-hour daily operations.
What if you run this setup for 24 hours daily?
In such a case, you can recover your investment in 1 year and 6 months.
