Focus Reports, Global

Report Overview

This report forecasts to 2030 global demand for pharmaceutical packaging by product and major world region in nominal US dollars at the manufacturer level. Product segments include: bottles and jars, blister packaging, prefillable syringes and cartridges, parenteral vials and ampoules, IV containers and bags, boxes and cartons, prefillable inhalers, pouches, tubes, other packaging products such as strip packs, aerosol cans, and plastic stick tubes

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 purposes of this study, pharmaceutical packaging product demand is defined as the value of finished packaging that is: sold by merchant companies, produced or assembled internally by pharmaceutical manufacturers and contract packaging firms

For any given historical year, US dollar amounts are obtained from values expressed in the applicable local currency. These local currency values are converted to US dollars at the average annual exchange rate for that year. For forecast years, the US dollar amounts assume the same annual exchange rate at that prevailing in 2025.

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.
