Pharmaceutical packaging market size to grow by USD 48.88 billion from 2022 to 2027, The rise in R&D spending in the pharmaceutical industry to drive the market growth - Technavio

NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The global pharmaceutical packaging market size is estimated to grow by USD 48.88 billion from 2022 to 2027, according to Technavio. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.44%. The rise in R&D spending in the pharmaceutical industry is driving market growth. Pharmaceutical companies are investing heavily in R&D, which is expected to increase the number of pharmaceutical products in the market. Moreover, pharmaceutical manufacturers can lower their capital expenditure and operating cost by outsourcing packaging operations to third-party players, which would help them concentrate on their core business. The rising R&D spending by pharmaceutical manufacturers is expected to increase the demand for innovative packaging to differentiate the products in the market. These factors will fuel market growth during the forecast period. For more insights on the historic period (2017-2021) and forecast market size (2023-2027) - Request a sample report

Pharmaceutical packaging market - Segmentation assessment
Segment overview
Technavio has segmented the market based on material (rigid plastic, flexible plastic, glass, and others), product (plastic bottles, caps and closures, blister packs, pre-fillable syringes, and others), and geography (North America, Europe, APAC, Middle East and Africa, and South America). 

• The rigid plastic segment will account for a significant share of market growth during the forecast period. Rigid plastic bottles are generally made from polyethylene polymer. They can also be customized to various specifications. Rigid plastic packaging products are used for over-the-counter drugs such as oral drugs and tablets. Therefore, the increasing sales of over-the-counter drugs are expected to fuel the demand for rigid plastic packaging during the forecast period.
• North America will account for 31% of market growth during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to factors such as the increasing value of US pharmaceutical exports, rising healthcare spending, and aging population. Government health insurance programs are also boosting market growth. The US pharmaceutical industry receives a lot of venture capital investment, which further fuels the regional market's growth.

Pharmaceutical packaging market – Market dynamics

Leading trends influencing the market 

• The rising demand for innovative lightweight materials is a leading trend in the market.
• Suppliers are offering lightweight, high-performance corrugated grades to lower costs and improve packaging performance.
• These packaging materials provide a barrier that is resistant to light, air, and moisture.
• Materials such as hard plastic help protect the content from moisture, particulate, and oxidation. For instance, Amcor Plc has developed a lightweight, hot-fill beverage plastic bottle.
• Therefore, the rise in the adoption of lightweight packaging materials will support the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Major challenges hindering the market growth

• A fragmented marketplace will challenge market growth.
• Established players focus on material production, product innovation, and high-volume supply, which increases suppliers' unit cost of production.
• The presence of many small vendors leads to price wars, as they offer products at lower prices.
• Moreover, pharmaceutical manufacturers find it challenging to maintain profitability due to high raw material prices, transportation cost, and overall production cost.
• Therefore, pharmaceutical manufacturers expect packaging companies to offer products at low prices.
• These factors can negatively affect the growth of the market during the forecast period.
