As in pharmaceutical packaging, the characteristics of materials have to be matched to the performance requirement of the packaged drug.
The global pharmaceutical plastic bottles market was around USD 28,427 million in 2019 and is likely to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period 2020–2026.
Global Pharmaceutical Plastic Bottles Market: Growth Factors
Conventionally, glass bottles have been used for packaging pharmaceuticals. Manufacturers are substituting glass bottles with pharmaceutical plastic bottles as the latter provides the same benefits as glass bottles and are not prone to breakage. Pharmaceutical plastic bottles are an economical alternative. Hence, they are easier to procure. Also, pharmaceutical plastic bottles are light in weight and less bulky. This makes shipping and transit of pharmaceutical plastic bottles hassle-free, thereby propelling the market trends.
The rise in the usage of plastic bottles in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries can be majorly attributed to the convenience they offer in the delivery of liquid medicines, ease of use, and safety. Moreover, pharmaceutical plastic bottles when compared to metals are light in weight and less vulnerable to breakage. Most sensitive drugs are packaged with PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) pharmaceutical plastic bottles, which offer high strength, impact resistance, and barrier resistance against oxygen as well as moisture. The aforementioned factors will drive the pharmaceutical plastic bottles market growth in the near future.
