Pharmaceutical Plastic Packaging Market
Pharmaceutical Plastic Packaging Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Raw Material (Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), and Others), by Product Type (Solid Containers, Dropper bottles, Nasal Spray Bottles, Liquid Bottles, Oral Care, Pouches, Vials, and Ampoules, Cartridges, Syringes, and Others) Forecast Period (2024-2031)
Pharmaceutical plastic packaging market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period. The growing pharmaceutical industry and high demand for plastic packaging in the pharmaceutical industry owing to its offered advantages is a key factor driving the growth of the global pharmaceutical plastic packaging market. The compatibility of plastic with any form such as blister, bottles, laminates, and others is also increasing its popularity to be used in pharmaceutical packaging. Looking towards the growth aspect of this industry, key players are making significant moves to increase their presence in the global market.
For instance, in March 2023, Alpla Group formed a joint venture with Spanish packaging company Inden Pharma to expand its presence in the pharmaceutical packaging market. The JV will make use of ALPLApharma’s production sites in Greece and Poland, as well as Inden Pharma’s two facilities in Spain. Alpla Group and Inden Pharma will also build a facility in Markdorf, Germany. These facilities will produce around 800 million pharmaceutical packaging products in total this year. The partners plan to increase their capacity by 300.0% over five years. However, the presence of stringent regulations regarding plastic owing to its harmful impact on the environment may restrain the growth of the global market. Pharmaceutical plastic bottles used for packaging consist of child-resistant caps and closures. Child-safe packaging and contamination-free drug delivery are expected to amplify growth opportunities in sales of plastic bottles and containers for the pharmaceuticals market, thereby driving the global market.
Segmental Outlook
The global pharmaceutical plastic packaging market is segmented based on raw materials and product type. Based on raw material, the market is segmented into Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), and other (COP). Based on product type, the market is segmented into solid containers, dropper bottles, nasal spray bottles, liquid bottles, oral care, pouches, vials and ampoules, cartridges, syringes, and others (caps and closures).
PET Held Considerable Share in the Global Pharmaceutical Plastic Packaging Market
PET held a considerable share in 2023 based on raw materials. The high demand for PET in pharma packaging owing to its offered advantages is a key factor driving the growth of this market segment. The development of advanced recyclable PET is further contributing to the segmental market growth. For instance, in January 2024, TekniPlex Healthcare partnered with petrochemical provider Alpek Polyester to introduce a pharmaceutical-grade polyethylene terephthalate (PET) blister film containing significant recycled content. This film is suitable for a wide array of primary packaging applications, with 30% of its PET polymerized from PCR-origin through chemical recycling.
Regional Outlook
The global pharmaceutical plastic packaging market is further segmented based on geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa and Latin America). Among these, the North American regional market is expected to cater to considerable growth during the forecast period. Factors contributing to the regional growth of the market include the use of advanced technology such as nanotechnology in manufacturing processes and technological innovation and increasing demand for drug delivery devices. North America is followed by Europe while Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period.
