Description

This report forecasts to 2030 global demand for unit dose pharmaceutical packaging by product and major world region in nominal US dollars at the manufacturer level. Product segments include parenteral vials and ampoules, prefillable syringes, blister packaging, pharmaceutical pouches, plastic bottles and jars, medication tubes, other products such as strip packs, medication cups, and small paperboard boxes.

Major world regions include North America, Western Europe, Asia/Pacific, and all other regions.

To illustrate historical trends, world, product, and regional demand (including product segments) are provided for 2019 and 2025.

For blister packaging, demand includes not only the blister component itself as well as the value of the secondary folding cartons, labels, shrink wrap, and other accessories (such as tamper-evident seals or packaging inserts). In other words, it is the cost of a finished package to the drug maker (whether it is produced internally or by contract packaging firms) because the blister component of the package is generally not used on its own without secondary packaging.

Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
