PRE-STERILIZED / READY TO USE PHARMACEUTICAL PACKAGING MARKET OVERVIEW

The global pre-sterilized / ready to use pharmaceutical packaging market is estimated to be worth USD 9.01 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.62%, during the forecast period.

In the pharmaceutical industry, the integrity and safety of drugs and vaccines are of utmost importance. The primary packaging of such products plays an important role in ensuring their quality and protecting them from contaminants. Therefore, sterilization is crucial in pharmaceutical manufacturing as it helps to maintain product safety and uphold stringent quality standards. This has led to the emergence of pre-sterilized / ready to use containers and closures in pharmaceutical packaging. Ready to use vials, also known as RTU vials eliminate the need for in-house sterilization processes, reducing contamination risks and production timelines. It is worth noting that the increasing demand for safe drug delivery systems has driven the growth of the global pharmaceutical packaging market. As a result, ready-to-use components, such as sterile vials and sterile syringes have gained popularity, owing to their convenience and reliability across various applications. Advancements in technology have further contributed to the development of innovative packaging solutions that ensure product integrity and patient safety. Sterile primary containers are a growing segment within the pharmaceutical packaging market. Companies, such as Thermo Fisher Scientific and Corning Incorporated have developed various innovative primary packaging solutions, including pre-sterilized / ready to use containers and closures. These solutions ensure product quality, meet regulatory requirements, and streamline manufacturing processes. The increasing adoption of sterile vials and other sterile primary containers is likely to contribute significantly towards the robust growth of pre-sterilized / ready to use pharmaceutical packaging market size during the forecast period.

Key inclusions of the report are briefly discussed below.

Advantages and Growing Demand for Ready to Use Pharmaceutical Primary Packaging

Owing to their numerous advantages, there is a growing demand for pre-sterilized / ready to use pharmaceutical primary packaging. The RTU containers and closures enhance time and cost efficiency by eliminating the need for sterilization equipment and associated expenses. Moreover, they improve productivity by streamlining the packaging process, while ensuring compliance to stringent quality standards and regulations. Additionally, the benefits offered by empty sterile vials and sterile syringes, and their growing demand in the healthcare sector, specifically post the pandemic has prompted stakeholders to implement advancements that are likely to drive market growth in the forecast period.

Competitive Landscape: Sterile Empty Vials Dominate the Market

The current landscape of pre-sterilized / ready to use pharmaceutical primary packaging features close to 95 RTU containers and 85 RTU closures. It is worth mentioning that, amongst pre-sterilized / RTU containers, 43% of the primary packaging is empty sterile vials; 10 are ready to use cartridges. The majority of the containers are glass vials, primarily made of borosilicate glass. Several manufacturers offer sterile vials to meet the growing demand for aseptic filling of parenteral drugs. In February 2023, Nexus Pharmaceuticals introduced its line of sterile vials. These vials can store different liquid volumes (20 ml, 10 ml, and 2 ml). In March 2022, SGD Pharma launched a 100 ml ready to use sterile glass vial, catering to the demand for small and large sterile vials. Further, in June 2022, Schott invested multi-million euros to increase the production of sterile RTU vials at its facility located in Pennsylvania, US. Such expansions reflect the rising demand for RTU primary containers for parenteral drugs.

Recent Trends in Ready to Use Primary Packaging Systems: Innovation in Container Design and RTU Fill and Finish Machines

Recent trends and advancements in packaging materials and technologies have led to the emergence of innovative packaging solutions that offer enhanced drug compatibility, stability, and barrier properties. These solutions are made of high-quality polymers, elastomers, and glass compositions that are customized according to specific drug formulations. Furthermore, in order to increase patient convenience and medication adherence, there is a growing emphasis on simpler designs, such as integrated delivery systems and child-resistant closures. Such developments demonstrate the industry's dedication in producing efficient RTU primary packaging technologies that satisfy the diverse patient needs.

Another development supporting the growth of ready to use primary pharmaceutical packaging market includes the launch of fill / finish machines that are capable of de-nesting, filling, and closing RTU vials, syringes, and cartridges. This has led to the increasing usage of robotic systems in the drug development processes, thereby enhancing flexibility and reproducibility in the production process. Further, given the increasing focus on the development of personalized therapies for smaller patient population, drug manufacturers are prompted to adopt modern technology-based solutions, such as robotics, in order to augment the production of higher number of small batches in different packaging formats.

Container and Closure Manufacturers are Collaborating to Provide Ready Packs, a One Stop Solution for Customer Needs

Several stakeholders have been forging alliances related to RTU primary packaging with other industry / non-industry players for product / technology integration, distribution, product development and technology licensing purposes. It is interesting to note that in February 2023, West Pharmaceutical Services entered into an agreement with Corning focused on the distribution of Corning Valor® Glass vials and West Ready Pack™; these systems employ Corning Valor® RTU vials and SG EZ-fill® technology. The West Ready Pack™ incorporates stoppers and seals provided by West Pharmaceutical Services, in addition to the Valor® RTU Vials supplied by Corning Incorporated.
