Parenteral packaging is the process of packaging injectables or parenteral solutions to keep their therapeutic effectiveness intact till the point of administration. Parental packaging is required to protect the drugs from contamination and to ensure aseptic administration to the patient. On the basis of material type, the parenteral packaging market is segmented into plastic & polymer and glass, and others. Plastic and polymer packaging material is more durable then glass used for parenteral packaging. Eco-friendly materials such as bio-plastics made from plants, sugar bagasse, forest wood, recycled plastic and palm leaf are also used for parenteral packaging. The pharmaceuticals industry has witnessed significant technological advancements such as introduction of prefilled syringes, and advanced polymers over the past few years. Moreover, recent advancements in the routes of drug administration are driving the demand for parenteral packaging.
Market Dynamics
Implementation of stringent regulations and standards for using pharmaceutical grade materials including glass and plastic in parenteral packaging by regulatory bodies is expected to favor the growth of global parenteral packaging market. For instance, the World Health Organization (WHO) has designed guidelines on packaging of pharmaceutical products which need to be followed by pharmaceutical organizations.
Increase in aging population, and rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and hypertension has led to an increase in utilization of parenteral drugs in both developed and emerging economies. As per U.S. Census Bureau, in the U.S., the aging population was estimated to be around 50,683,620 in 2016 and is expected reach 71,453,471 by 2030.
Increase prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and aging population around the globe is expected to favor the growth of the parenteral packaging market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the AD cases worldwide were around 47 million, and will reach around 75 million by 2030. The number of cases is expected to triple by 2050 due to the high prevalence rate and lack of healthcare services in rural areas.
