United States Pharmaceutical Packaging Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The United States pharmaceutical packaging market size reached around USD 71.10 Billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.80% between 2025 and 2034, reaching almost USD 150.68 Billion by 2034.

Product and material innovation have become some of the key United States pharmaceutical packaging market trends. The development of cyclic olefin polymers (COPs) has become an important breakthrough for the market. Since COPs and copolymers are mainly composed of hydrogen and carbon, they are extremely non-reactive and durable. They resemble the optical properties of glass and can be carved into different designs easily. They have good a leachable profile and have the potential to withstand different sterilisation techniques (such as steam and radiation sterilisation). This makes them an appealing choice for many healthcare companies.

As wearable drug devices witness a surge in consumer demand, the use of inert packaging materials which provide high moisture protection and increase their shelf life is expected to witness significant growth. Moreover, transparent packaging solutions with low adsorption rates are expected to become increasingly popular over the forecast period.

The evolving standards of drug packaging and distribution in the United States are expected to prompt major companies to enhance operational efficiencies by deploying intelligent robots and machines to detect faulty packaging material and replace it with another piece. This is expected to propel the United States pharmaceutical packaging market expansion in the coming years.
