Growing pharmaceutical industry in emerging economies and increased use of drug delivery devices and blister packaging drives the market

Plastic Bottles

Plastic bottles segment is composed of rigid plastic and are preferred because of their lightweight and shatter-resistant quality. Plastic glass and child-proof and tamper evident caps are the major trends driving the plastic bottles market in pharmaceutical packaging. These bottles will remain the most widely used pharmaceutical packaging for oral drugs and prescription dose distributed in bulk to retail and mail order pharmacies.

Blister Packs

Blister packaging plays an important role, especially, for oral and solid dosage forms. Blister packages are made from thermoforming polymers and cold-form aluminum-based packs. Increased unit dosage packaging usage, individual protection of each dose, excellent barrier characteristics, design flexibility to meet regulatory compliance, fair amount of child resistance, and senior citizen-friendliness are the key influencers for their growing use worldwide. Blister packs also provide efficient and safe drug delivery for oral solids.

Labels & Accessories

Labels list ingredients and warnings against misuse and provide enough space for authenticity confirmation and branding. Labels are helpful in logistics management and handling of products these days. Leading pharmaceutical companies are using labeling extensively to carry information about the product to meet the packaging regulatory compliances and fight counterfeiting. These aspects are the key drivers for the pharmaceutical packaging suppliers in the industry. To meet the FDA requirements and current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), it is essential that pharmaceutical labeling is accurate.

Caps & Closures

Caps & closures feature child resistant and tamper evident packaging. These were developed to reduce the risk of children ingesting medications, which would prove to be harmful to them. It is mandatory under various regulations for prescription drugs, OTC medications, pesticides, and household chemicals to focus on child-resistant closures. Tamper evident packaging helps in identifying whether a particular package has been breached or not for prevention of malicious tampering.
