Pharmaceutical Packaging
US demand for pharmaceutical packaging is projected to rise 5.2% per year to $29.9 billion in 2024. Primary containers will make up more than two-thirds of this amount, with the balance contributed by closures, secondary containers, labels, and packaging accessories. Pharmaceutical packaging demand will grow somewhat faster than the overall value of end-use product shipments as drug makers upgrade the barrier, security, and functional features of their packaging systems. The development of new advanced therapies for cancer, heart disease, neurological disorders, and viral diseases will also broaden the need for higher value-added pharmaceutical packaging products.
