The North America contract packaging market size was valued at USD 14.30 Billion in 2024. The market is further projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.30% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a value of USD 28.93 Billion by 2034.
The major contributor in the North America contract packaging market growth is the rising pharmaceutical industry in the region. The growing pharmaceutical production, the requirement to maximise internal resources, and the increased development and launches of specialty and biologic medicines, is prompting more companies to turn to contract packaging services to label and kit products. Furthermore, with the ever-evolving and increasing regulatory requirements, pharmaceutical companies are shifting to contract packaging. This approach is recognised as the most secure, cost-effective, and time-efficient strategy for labelling, packaging, and storage.
The need for small-scale production of pharmaceutical products and medical devices has surged in recent years, driven by various factors such as the growth of personalised medicine and orphan drugs, along with the industry's requirement to manufacture small batches cost-effectively. These trends are propelling the expansion of the market.
The North America contract packaging market development is further fuelled by a rising preference for secondary packaging solutions like shrink wrapping, registered bundling, cartoning, counting, bagging, and tipping. These methods not only safeguard products but also offer avenues for consumer education and brand messaging. Additionally, the surge in biodegradable plastics and other sustainable packaging innovations is boosting interest in environmentally friendly secondary packaging options.
