Pre-Sterilized/Ready to Use Pharmaceutical Packaging Market Size is valued at 8.42 Bn in 2022 and is predicted to reach 14.23 Bn by the year 2031 at an 6.13% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.
Aseptic primary packaging is a growing segment of the pharmaceutical packaging industry. Technological advancements have facilitated the development of new packaging methods that ensure product stability and patient safety. Several pharma companies have developed many new types of packaging, including pre-sterilized / ready to use containers and closures.
These packaging solutions ensure product quality, meet regulatory requirements and streamline production processes. They also provide information and instructions for usage, offer protection against contamination, ensure product integrity, and encourage safe & efficient distribution of pharmaceutical products to end users. The growth in the use of sterile vials and other aseptic containers is likely to contribute positively to the expansion of this market over the forecast period. Also, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the growth opportunities in this market.
The Pre-Sterilized/Ready to Use Pharmaceutical Packaging Market is segmented into type of container, type of closure, and material of fabrication. By type of container, the market is categorized into sterile cartridges, sterile syringes, and sterile vials. The type of closure segment comprises caps, plungers, seals, stoppers, and tip caps/needle shields. By material of fabrication, the market is divided into aluminium, glass, plastic, and rubber.
By type of container, the sterile vials segment held the largest Pre-Sterilized/Ready to Use Pharmaceutical Packaging Market share in 2022. In the pharmaceutical sector, Sterile vials are used as packaging containers to keep the products sterile throughout their shelf life. In addition, such vials ensure product integrity and reduce contamination risks.
In 2022, the Glass segment led the Pre-Sterilized/Ready to Use Pharmaceutical Packaging Market. Most containers are glass vials, primarily made of borosilicate glass. Many manufacturers offer glass vials to meet the rising demand for aseptic filling of drugs. In February 2023, West Pharmaceutical Services collaborated with Corning focused on distributing Corning Valor® Glass vials & West Ready Pack™; these systems employ Corning Valor® RTU vials & SG EZ-fill® technology. The West Ready Pack™ incorporates stoppers & seals provided by West Pharmaceutical Services and the Valor® RTU Vials supplied by Corning Incorporated.
The North American Pre-Sterilized/Ready to Use Pharmaceutical Packaging Market is expected to register the highest market revenue share shortly. Factors such as the growing demand for pre-sterilized / ready to use containers and closures, the presence of leading pharmaceutical companies in the region, advancements in drug delivery systems, and rising research initiatives for improving healthcare facilities are responsible for driving the Pre-Sterilized/Ready to Use pharmaceutical packaging market in North America. Similarly, the Asia Pacific regional market is estimated to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. Increasing demand for Ready to Use (RTU) Pharmaceutical Packaging and favourable government laws on drug safety development are projected to support the market growth.
