Key Takeaways from the Pharmaceutical Plastic Packaging Market Study Report

The United States pharmaceutical plastic packaging market is expected to witness consistent growth of 3.6% in the forecast period, owing to rising demand after the pandemic.

East Asia has emerged as the most lucrative market for pharmaceutical plastic packaging and is expected to create an incremental opportunity of nearly US$ 12 billion by 2030.
Among the different types of products, plastic bottles rule the roost by contributing 40% market share, followed by caps & closures.

Primary packaging witnesses the highest demand as it comes in direct contact with the drug. Secondary and tertiary packaging implies the packaging of different groups of primary packaging.

The next generation of prefilled syringes and cartridges is expected to outbid demand for expensive intravenous infusions (IV infusions) during the forecast period. Such advancements may lead to significant momentum in the production and sales of pharmaceutical plastic packaging going forward.

Also, Zip-lock bags and pouches are gaining significant traction in the global market as it requires skill to slide a zipper and access the content.
