Pharmaceutical Bottles Market Segments by Application, Region and Market Research Report to 2022 Forecast

on

11th October 2018: Packaging is a term that secures the Pharmaceutical Product from the time of production in a unit till its use; packaging thus plays a significant role in pharmaceutical companies. In fact, pharmaceutical packaging involves packaging of life saving drugs, safety, identity and convenience of handling. Moreover, it has to balance complex considerations and provide a good solution to ensure longer shelf life of contents contained in it. On the basis of drug delivery, the global pharmaceutical bottles market is segmented into oral drugs, pulmonary, transdermal, topical, injectables, nasal, IV drugs, and ocular/ophthalmic. 


There are different categories for pharmaceutical packaging namely, primary packaging, secondary packaging and tertiary packaging and primarily two types of containers are used for packaging viz, glass containers and plastic containers. All the three stages such as primary packaging, secondary packaging and tertiary packaging involves a step by step inspection and supervision which ensures there are no gaps left and the substance inside is free of moisture with no contamination coming into its contact.
Further, glass containers and plastic containers are used for packaging items according to the content properties. Glass containers need to be chemically inert, impermeable, rigid and strong. Again, the glass used for pharmaceutical packaging is of various types, such as type-1 borosilicate glass; which is highly resistant and chemically inert, such type of glass is used to contain strong acids and alkalis.Type-2 treated soda-lime glass are more chemically inert compared to type 1 glass and prevents the bottles from weathering. Type-3 Regular sods-lime glass is an untreated soda-lime glass with average chemical resistance. Type-4 General purpose soda lime glass is generally used for products to be consumed orally or topically. Plastic containers of a high quality can be produced with different shapes and designs. Such packages provide resistance from breakage and leakage. Materials used in such bottles are namely polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene, Nylon, Polycarbonate, Acrylic multi polymers, polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Commercially, the market for packaging bottles is characterized by growing demands from the healthcare industry across nations and the overall health market witnesses a trajectory growth in the pharmaceutical bottles market during the forecast period.
The key driving factors responsible for the growth of global Pharmaceutical Bottles Industry include growing demand for enhanced healthcare services owing to urbanization in developing countries and technological developments occurring in the pharmaceutical packaging. However, the need for eco-friendly biomaterials-based bottles as an alternative to pharmaceutical ones and the growing preference for flexible packaging formats such as blisters are anticipated to grow during the forecast period.  On the basis of type, the global pharmaceutical bottles market is segmented into plastic bottles, blister packs, caps & closures, pre-fillable syringes, labels & accessories, medical specialty bags, temperature controlled packaging, pouches & strip packs, pre-filled inhalers, vials, jars & canisters, medication tubes, ampoules and cartridges. On the basis of veterinary vaccine packaging, the global pharmaceutical bottles industry is segmented into livestock vaccines, porcine vaccines, canine vaccines, poultry vaccines, feline vaccines, equine vaccines, and aquaculture vaccines.
On the basis of end-user, the global pharmaceutical bottles market is segmented into pharmaceutical enterprises, healthcare centers, compounding pharmacies, chemical firms, and pharmaceutical packaging companies. On the basis of raw material, the global pharmaceutical bottles market is segmented into high density polyethylene, polyester, polypropylene, low density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, paper & paperboard, total plastics, glass and aluminum foil. On the basis of geographic region, the global pharmaceutical bottles industry spans North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle-East & Africa. Currently, North America is leading the global market owing to technological advancements and a suitable medical infrastructure. APAC regions such as India and China are anticipated to grow during the forecast period owing to rising healthcare needs and a developing medical infrastructure. The key players in the global pharmaceutical bottles market include Amcor Ltd, Schott AG, AptarGroup Inc, Gerresheimer AG, Becton, Dickinson & Company, and Capsugel Inc.
