By Material, the Rigid plastic segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024

In the pharmaceutical industry, rigid plastic packaging plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the integrity of oral medications and over-the-counter drugs. Primarily composed of polyethylene polymers, these packaging solutions offer customizable options to cater to diverse specifications. The APAC region, driven by increasing self-medication awareness, is projected to experience substantial growth in over-the-counter drug sales, reaching an estimated USD6 billion in India alone by 2023. This trend underscores the significance of robust plastic packaging solutions in the pharmaceutical sector.

By Product, Plastic bottles  segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024

In the dynamic pharmaceutical industry, plastic bottles have emerged as a preferred choice for primary packaging due to their versatility in accommodating solid, liquid, and semi-liquid pharmaceutical products. The surge in demand for syrups, ophthalmic, and nasal medicines, primarily driven by the rising prevalence of dry eye caused by extended screen time, significantly contributes to the growth of the pharmaceutical packaging market utilizing plastic bottles. These bottles, fabricated from polyethylene and polypropylene, offer the advantage of eliminating the need for tertiary packaging and ensuring product safety throughout the supply chain.

North America is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024

In the North American pharmaceutical landscape, the US dominates as the primary market contributor. Key players, including Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Abbott Laboratories, and Bristol Myers Squibb, spearhead this industry. Factors such as escalating US pharmaceutical exports, surging healthcare expenditures, an aging population, and expanding government healthcare insurance programs fuel market growth. The robust intellectual property system in the US further boosts sales of patented drugs, thereby attracting substantial venture capital investments in the pharmaceutical packaging sector.
