Market Overview

The science, art, and technology of enclosing or safeguarding goods for use, sale, distribution, and storage is known as packaging. Packaging also includes the process of creating, assessing, and designing packages. The affordable means of supplying presentation, protection, identity, information, convenience, compliance, integrity, and stability of the product is known as pharmaceutical packaging. The selection of materials used in pharmaceutical packaging is essential to ensuring the integrity, safety, and sustainability of the product for the environment.

The packaging is mainly divided into three types, primary packaging, secondary packaging and tertiary packaging. The material that first encloses and holds the product is known as primary packaging. This is typically the distribution or use unit that is the smallest; example a bottle, blister packs, and aerosol spray can.  Outside of the primary packaging, secondary packaging may be used to bundle primary packages together.

Plastic bottles made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are becoming more and more popular as the industry’s preferred packaging option. It is crucial to guarantee the safety and adherence of pharmaceutical packaging. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles adhere to the strict quality standards and legal criteria established by organizations such as the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The global packaging market size is estimated to grow from USD 1.20 trillion in 2022 to reach an estimated USD 1.58 trillion by 2032, growing at a 3.16% CAGR between 2023 and 2032.

Market Opportunity

Integration of the software to develop innovative packaging solution and monitoring packaging equipment

Easy-to-use package alternatives that enhance medication adherence are precisely modern patients seek. Market research indicates that single-dose packaging, child-resistant closures, and easy-to-open features are becoming more and more common. Personalized packaging that has precise directions and dosing information is also growing in popularity. This development is being driven by an increase in occurrences of chronic illnesses and an aging population. In an attempt to boost efficiency and enhance patient safety, the healthcare industry is implementing smart packaging. The latest packaging technologies include sensors and extra functionalities to oversee product quality, measure temperature and humidity, and provide instantaneous data for enhanced supply chain management.

For instance,

• In May 2024, Trelleborg Medical Solutions, engineers innovative solutions providing company, unveiled the introduction of Innovation Center in Minnesota, US. A newly launhced single center for design, quick prototyping, development, and serial manufacturing, it offers Trelleborg’s global healthcare and medical clients cost control and scalability of their solutions. It is an extension of the earlier quick Development Center.
