The packaging market by drug delivery type is growing at a CAGR of 9.1% and constitutes a significant part of the overall pharmaceutical packaging market. The market is expected to be pushed by off-patenting of drugs, expanding generics market, and rapidly growing drug delivery market.

Advances in biotechnology often lead to the introduction of new therapies that must be injected; the pharmaceutical packaging market is expected to witness fastest growth from pre-fillable syringes and parenteral vials. Availability of raw materials and price volatility coupled with changing health regulations are the major deterrents that are curbing the growth of this market. The fastest growth in the pharma packaging market is expected to come from pre-fillable syringes, labels and accessories, blister packs, temperature controlled medicines packaging, and few niche products, which will continue to expand in the coming years. Mergers and acquisitions in the recent past have indicated that the industry is on its way to consolidation globally and global packaging suppliers are strengthening their presence in emerging markets.

All these factors, along with the growing pharma industry, will continue to drive the demand for packaging.
