Middle East And Africa Pharmaceutical Glass Vials And Ampoules Market Analysis by Mordor Intelligence

The Middle East And Africa Pharmaceutical Glass Vials And Ampoules Market size is worth USD 143.40 Million in 2025, growing at an 6.97% CAGR and is forecast to hit USD 200.85 Million by 2030.

The Middle East & Africa region holds immense potential for the pharmaceutical industry's growth, presenting numerous opportunities for ampoule and vial manufacturers. Additionally, regional governments bolster this sustainable growth through long-term support and investments.

For Instance, the Dubai Industrial Strategy 2030 and Abu Dhabi Vision 2030 recognize the pharmaceutical industry as a key sub-sector. They aim for significant advancements, citing its growth prospects, export potential, and economic impact.

Moreover, stringent laws enhancing the quality of domestically produced drugs have led to a surge in the region's use of glass for pharmaceutical packaging. The Middle East is swiftly becoming a pivotal player in this growth narrative, driven by its robust economic outlook and better medication accessibility.
As per the Middle East Credit Rating Agency, global forecasts predict a booming pharmaceutical sector in the Middle East. This growth is largely attributed to a rising middle class and a growing elderly population. With projections showing a remarkable 165.2% increase in the pharmaceutical market from 2020 to 2030, the sector is ripe with opportunities for global investors and stakeholders.

The post-pandemic landscape has supercharged the industry, leading to a surge in biopharmaceutical deals and hefty investments in healthcare. By 2025, the Agency forecast that the market might hit USD 2,051 billion, a 70% leap from 2020. This trajectory spells immense growth prospects for the glass ampoules and vials market in the coming years.

Aligned with the region's long-term development strategy, there's a pronounced emphasis on locally produced and packaged medications. The Saudi Arabia strategically positions itself to serve neighboring GCC countries and North Africa. Recent years have seen a notable uptick in Saudi exports to these areas. Presently, only 30% of pharmaceutical products are produced domestically, highlighting a vast opportunity for pharmaceutical ampoules and vials manufacturers.

Middle East And Africa Pharmaceutical Glass Vials And Ampoules Market Trends and Insights

Pharmaceutical Industry Increasingly Shifts Towards Glass Ampoules Amidst Recognized Advantages

Pharmaceuticals frequently utilize glass ampoules for packaging, ensuring their drugs are housed in secure and stable containers. Typically manufactured from Borosilicate Glass, standard-line ampoules exhibit high chemical resistance and comply with ISO 9187-1 standards. These ampoules are pivotal in globally protecting a wide spectrum of medications. This range includes anaesthetics for local and pre-operative applications, emergency medications for critical conditions such as anaphylaxis, antidotes for poisonings, anti-seizure medications, and treatments addressing cardiovascular and neurological disorders.
In the MiddleEast and Africa, Glass ampoules are the go-to choice for packaging injectables, vaccines, and other delicate medications. Factors like population growth, disease prevalence, new drug developments, and the broadening of healthcare services shape demand for these ampoules in the pharmaceutical realm. As healthcare systems advance and novel treatments emerge, countries in the Middle East and Africa, including Morocco, South Africa, and Kenya, are poised to see a surge in glass ampoule demand.
However, despite this growth trajectory, nations like Morocco continue to depend on imported pharmaceutical packaging, including glass ampoules, to meet their escalating domestic needs.
Heightened environmental and sustainability concerns are reshaping glass packaging preferences in the region. A segment of companies and consumers gravitates towards eco-friendly packaging solutions, potentially swaying the demand for ampoules crafted from recyclable or biodegradable materials.
Moreover, advancements in ampoule production, such as streamlined manufacturing processes or the advent of smart packaging technologies, can sway demand by enhancing the appeal or cost-effectiveness of ampoules.

Proliferation of Pharmaceutical Industry in Africa

Africa, a continent historically challenged in securing equitable vaccine access and heavily reliant on foreign imports for its packaged medicines, is acutely aware of the value of a robust domestic pharmaceutical industry.
According to a March 2023 report by the World Economic Forum, Africa's annual demand for packaged medicines stands at approximately USD 18 billion. Of this, 61% is imported, 36% is produced locally but remains untraded, and a mere 3% is exchanged through intra-African trade.
With Africa's USD 18 billion annual demand for packaged medicines, there's significant potential for bolstering local production and enhancing intra-African trade. Given the industry's intricacies, there's a promising avenue for investments in local value chains, especially for essential items like vaccines and medical instruments, which boast high local value addition.
Under the newly activated African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement, Africa's pharmaceutical trade is poised for a substantial uplift, primarily driven by intra-African exchanges. This shift aims to reduce the continent's dependence on external economies. The AfCFTA will not only harmonize Africa's fragmented regulatory systems but also catalyze growth in the intra-African trade of medicines and pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, as local production scales up, there's a corresponding surge in demand for glass vials and ampoules in the region.
The World Economic Forum's report, "AfCFTA: A New Era for Global Business and Investment in Africa," highlights the pharmaceutical sector as a primary beneficiary of Africa's move towards frictionless trade.
Given the industry's inherent complexities, there's a vast horizon for investments in local value chains, spanning from packaged medicines to vaccines. The AfCFTA not only paves the way for meeting local demands domestically but also streamlines the process of surmounting production challenges swiftly. This landscape presents significant growth prospects for the market of pharmaceutical glass vials and ampoules in the region.

Recent Industry Developments

September 2023: The Saudi-India Invest Forum took place coinciding with Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud's state visit to India for the Leaders’ Summit of the bilateral Strategic Partnership Council. This inaugural formal investment symposium saw participation from over 500 companies spanning both nations. Discussions highlighted potential investment collaborations in sectors like healthcare and logistics. These strategies are poised to pave the way for future opportunities in the country's pharmaceutical glass vials and ampoules market.
March 2023: Algeria commenced domestic production of insulin vials, which were previously imported. This initiative is spearheaded by the Saidal Unit located in Constantine. Constantine's production and quality control teams are now responsible for manufacturing these insulin vials. The decision to produce insulin vials was made in 2022, with a Russian partner selected as the active ingredient supplier. However, the Algerian government opted for a complete technological transfer, paving the way for entirely local production. This move bolsters Algeria's self-sufficiency in insulin production and presents lucrative opportunities for the local market of pharmaceutical glass vials and ampoules in the country.
