Increasing Demand for Glass Packaging Coupled with New Launch to Boost the Global Pharmaceutical Packaging Market

Published: May 2022

The global pharmaceutical packaging market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 9.7% during the forecast period.  Glass is one of the most commonly utilized packaging materials in the pharmaceutical business because it has low alkalinity and hydrolytic resistance. Glass bottles are predicted to take a substantial proportion of the pharmaceutical packaging market by volume, owing to an expanding variety of applications in both solid and liquid oral pharmaceuticals, since containers provide convenience, safety, and security. Glass containers have a high degree of transparency, allowing for simple inspection of their contents. They also protect since they are largely impervious to air and moisture, and they are chemically resistant to most medicinal agents. Furthermore, pharmaceutical glass and containers are in high demand in highly populated regions such as India and China. Oncology and other high-potency medications (such as antibody conjugates, steroids, and IV fluids with a fast beginning of action) are projected to be the primary growth drivers. Following the outbreak of COVID-19 in December 2019, prominent biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies are working on vaccinations to combat the disease. The increasing COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing by companies such as GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK), AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and Moderna has resulted in a large increase in demand for glass-based vials in 2020.
