US Pharmaceutical Contract Packaging Market Analysis
The United States Pharmaceutical Contract Packaging Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.78% during the forecast period. The packaging of drugs and other medicines plays an essential part in solving these issues. In that regard, pharmaceutical vials are increasingly being administered to ensure that patients take medicine at the inappropriate dosage and at the prescribed time. Besides, products in such form also provide ease of medication intake by the patients. This may help reduce their time of recovery and the burden on the healthcare system.
- Contract packaging gives pharmaceutical companies a chance to differentiate their product against the competition. Differentiation in pharmaceutical packaging is usually focused on the user's needs and use case. For example, the specific indication requirements section is one such need for contract packaging.
- Further, Serialization continues to be a driving factor for flexible, sterile packaging used for medical equipment, devices, implantable devices, and consumables, such as vials and syringes, among others. Increased demand for administering oral drugs, prescription dose medicines, and over-the-counter (OTC) medicines is expected to increase the use of flexible aluminum foil in the pharmaceutical sector.
- Furthermore, according to IQVIA, a human data science company, pharmaceutical sales worldwide are anticipated to reach USD 1.5 trillion in 2023 from USD 491 billion in 2019. The United States dominates the pharmaceutical sector, both in consumption and development. According to STAT, prescription drug spending in the nation is considered to add up to USD 600 billion by 2023, up from an estimated USD 500 billion in 2019.
- Manufacturers in the sector rushed their resources and pushed for quicker manufacturing and packaging procedures as a result of COVID-19's considerable impact on the demand for vials, medications, and other products. Due to supply chain issues in the Asia-Pacific region, which holds a prominent position when it comes to pharmaceutical raw materials as well as packaging industry raw materials, there was a significant shortage of materials for both CMOs and CPOs in the market during the early months of the pandemic, which caused slower manufacturing and packaging.
