Top Growth Drivers in the Pharmaceutical Contract Packaging Industry: What's Accelerating the Market?
The expansion of the pharmaceutical contract packaging market is predicted to be fueled by the rising number of older adults. This refers specifically to those individuals who are 65 and older. The surge in this demographic is prompting manufacturers to design packaging that is easy for older adults to open while still being resistant to opening by children. However, this might result in an increase in costs and negatively impact sustainability. For example, the World Health Organization, a health agency based in Switzerland, reported in October 2024 that the global population of individuals who are 60 years old and over is anticipated to increase markedly, from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion by 2030 and further growing to 2.1 billion by 2050. Simultaneously, the population of those aged 80 years or more is slated to triple to 426 million by 2050. Thus, the escalating number of older adults is pushing the growth of the pharmaceutical contract packaging market.
