Global Pharma Parenteral Packaging Market Size is valued at USD 13.6 Billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 21.5 Billion by the year 2034 at a 4.8% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Pharma parenteral packaging describes the unique techniques developed for storing and administering sterile pharmaceuticals through infusion, intramuscular, or epidermal injections rather than the digestive tract. These packaging techniques guarantee that the product will remain intact, sterile, and safe throughout its entire lifecycle, from storage to transit to administration. The growing prevalence of chronic diseases and injectable drug usage, growing focus on improving patient safety, rising use of biologics, and growing use of prefilled syringes and injection devices are expected to lead to an increase in the need for pharma parenteral packaging solutions and support the growth of the market.
However, the market growth is estimated to be hampered by the stringent government regulations and standards and, the cost of raw materials used in pharma parenteral packaging.
The pharma parenteral packaging market is segmented based on drug type, product type, packaging type and material. Based on drug type, the market is segmented into small molecules, biologics, vaccines, and biosimilars. By product type, the market is segmented into bottles, ampoules, vials, prefilled syringes, and cartridges. By material, the market is segmented into glass, polymer, PVC, and others. By packaging type, the market is segmented into small-volume parenteral and large-volume parenteral.
The prefilled syringes pharma parenteral packaging market is expected to hold a significant global market share in 2024. Ease of use of prefilled syringes, preference for small molecules in prefilled syringes over other dosage forms, lower dosage errors and growing demand for prefilled insulin syringes due to increasing cases of diabetes are driving growth in pharma parenteral packaging globally.
The glass industry makes up the bulk of pharma parenteral packaging because Glass is used for various purposes and can be found in many different goods. It is a commonly utilized raw material in parenteral packaging due to its impermeable and non-porous nature, which allows it to retain product composition. Glass also protects items from ultraviolet radiation, which means they stay fresh for longer, especially in countries like the US, Germany, the U.K., China, and India.
The North American pharma parenteral packaging market is expected to register the highest market share in revenue in the near future. This can be attributed to the presence of prominent parenteral packaging businesses, the increasing need for injectable medication packaging, and the pharmaceutical industry's overall growth. In addition, Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest growth rate during study period because of the increasing incidence of chronic and infectious diseases, the growing need for pharmaceutical vial packaging, and the rise in vaccination programs.
