Future of Pharmaceutical Packaging Industry
The recent years have brought about incremental growth in the pharmaceutical packaging industry, owing to the rising demand for pharmaceutical products across the globe. The growing concern for reliable packaging that aids in protecting medicines and drugs from external elements is compelling organizations to resort to innovations to spur the sales of products. Moreover, the rising incidences of unfavorable elements such as biological contamination, physical damage, and degradation of pharmaceutical products will contribute to the growth of the industry. Despite the global uncertainty, the pharmaceutical packaging industry is witnessing a promising growth owing to the favorable market conditions and stringent regulatory compliance. Although the pharmaceutical packaging market is witnessing a promising growth, several factors may influence the growth of the market. These include:
The rise of counterfeit products: In recent years, the pharmaceutical packaging industry is witnessing an increase in the competition with a considerable number of players offering a wide array of product ranges. The recent rise in the number of counterfeit products is forcing companies to invest highly in R&D to improve their packaging techniques without compromising the quality of the products offered.
Fluctuating raw materials prices: In the pharmaceutical packaging space, it involves the use of end raw materials such as paper, board, and rigid plastics. The recent economic slowdown coupled with the inflation is creating uncertainties in the cost of raw materials, this, in turn, is necessitating the need to maintain stability in the prices of the products.
