The medical field plays a vital role in human life. One of the crucial parts of the medical industry is medicine or pharmaceuticals. In the pharmaceutical industry, packaging plays an important role. Pharmaceutical packaging maintains drug quality and is essential to protect drugs from germs, damage, outer atmosphere, and bacteria, along with safety concerns for children and old age. Some sensitive drugs require protection from light and water as they have sensitive substances.

There are mainly three types of packaging:

  • Primary packaging covers vials, ampoules, prefilled syringes, blister packs, IV containers, etc. These are package components that come in direct contact with the actual product or packages that may directly impact the pharmaceutical product's shelf-life.
  • Secondary packaging is the outside packaging for pharmaceutical products, which is used over primary packaging, or which can be used to pack the primary packages together. Secondary packaging can include cartons, shipping containers, boxes, injection trays, etc.
  • Tertiary packaging can be used for bulk shipping or handling, For example, barrels, edge protectors, containers, etc.

The pharmaceutical packaging sector is stringently regulated with few variations in the rules or regulations depending on the country of origin or the region.

Several factors are considered for assurance of patient safety, maintaining the quality and efficacy of the medicine/drug through the expected shelf life, keeping the uniformity of the drug from different production slots, detailed documentation of all components, materials, and processes, restrict the possible migration of packaging raw materials into the drug, resistance from external environment or oxygen, moisture, or heat, and prevention from microbial contamination.

Growing demand for pharmaceutical products, along with the increasing penetration of retail sales of drugs or pharmaceuticals in developing regions, are estimated to enhance market growth.

Pharmaceutical packaging products are primarily utilized for protecting and storing liquid, solid, and semisolid forms of drug formulations, such as syrups, tablets, capsules, and topical drugs. The rising prevalence of cancer or chronic diseases due to improper eating habits, changing lifestyles, and alternation in sleep cycles has led to an increased need for medications.

Furthermore, on account of the COVID-19 outbreak in December 2019, major biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies were engaged in the research and development of vaccines to control the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, in 2020 and 2021, the demand for glass-based vials witnessed a significant hike due to the increased COVID-19 vaccine production by companies such as Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline PLC (GSK), AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, and Moderna.
