Insights Presented in the Report

“Amongst Material Type, Plastics & polymers segment holds the major share.”

Based on Material Type, the market is bifurcated into Plastics & Polymers, Paper and Paperboard, Glass, and Aluminum Foil, and Others. The demand for the plastic & polymers segment is increasing owing to the increase in the use of PVC, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, and high-thickened polyethylene in the packaging for pharmaceutical purposes due to its lightweight, low cost, good barrier properties, and strength. Constantia Flexibles Group is boosting its position in the Sub-Saharan African market through its acquisition with the South African flexible packaging company Afripack, and in February 2021 Constantia Flexibles launched its first mono-material, Perpetua, which protects the product from oxygen, light, and water vapor.

Amongst Product Type, the Primary Pharmaceutical Packaging segment holds the major share”

Based on by product type, the market is bifurcated into primary pharmaceutical packaging, secondary pharmaceutical packaging, and tertiary pharmaceutical packaging. The primary pharmaceutical packaging is further bifurcated into plastic bottles, caps & closures, parenteral containers, blister packs, prefillable inhalers, and others. The secondary pharmaceutical packaging is further bifurcated into prescription containers and pharmaceutical packaging accessories

Amongst End-User, Pharmaceutical manufacturing holds the major share”

Based on end-user, the market is bifurcated into contract packaging, pharmaceutical manufacturing, retail pharmacy, institutional pharmacy, and others. Contract packaging is anticipated to show the highest growth in the market in the forecast period owing to the growing focus on outsourcing the packaging activities to save time as well as packaging costs. In April 2019, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) announced its partnership with Neopharma to localize its Secondary Packaging stage (the last phase of the manufacturing process) before distribution and sale. This partnership reduced the manufacturing process time to only three months, offering UAE patients faster access to the widely prescribed medicines.
