Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Packing Sourcer

US demand for pharmaceutical packaging products will increase by 4.3 per cent per year to US$5.2 billion in 2006. Blister packaging will remain the leading product group, generating average annual growth of six per cent. Expanding unit dose, compliance, clinical trial, high barrier and high visibility applications will impact favourably on demand. Pouches and strip packs will also see above average growth based on adaptability to low-cost unit dose formats.
Prefillable inhalers will account for the strongest value gains among all pharmaceutical packaging products as design innovations boost applications in the delivery of asthma and allergy medication. Prefillable syringes will generate better than average demand growth based on emergency response time and infection prevention advantages over vials and ampoules.
Reflecting cost, regulatory compliance and ease-of-use benefits, dual child-resistant and dispensing closures will fare the best among pharmaceutical packaging accessories in the marketplace. The US market for pharmaceutical containers will increase by 4.4 per cent annually to US$4.3 billion in 2006. Blister packs will account for over 20 per cent of this amount, gaining growth momentum from widening uses in clinical trials and over-the-counter medication.
