Pharmaceutical Packaging
US Industry Study with Forecasts for 2012 & 2017

Increased focus on such issues as barrier protection, infection control, patient drug compliance, drug dispensing errors and drug counterfeiting will favor high value-added packaging.

Prefillable containers to
lead primary packaging
Demand for pharmaceutical packaging in
the US will increase 5.5 percent annually
to $16 billion in 2012. Demand for
primary pharmaceutical containers will
increase 5.2 percent annually. The
fastest growth is anticipated for prefillable syringes and vials, which will
expand applications as advances in
biotechnology lead to the introduction of
new therapies that must be injected. In
spite of below average growth, plastic
bottles will remain the most widely used
package for oral drugs distributed in bulk
and prescription dose volumes to retail
and mail order pharmacies. Plastic
bottles will also continue to dominate
applications in OTC medicines sold in
50+ tablet and capsule quantities.
Pharmaceutical blister packaging will
sustain favorable growth based on its
adaptability to unit dose formats with
expanded label content, high visibility,
and built-in track and trace features.
The market for pharmaceutical pouches
will expand at a fast pace, spurred by
increasing applications in the unit dose
packaging of transdermal patches,
powders for reconstitution, and topical
creams and ointments. Prefillable
inhalers will command strong growth
opportunities as the number of chronic
asthma, allergy and migraine patients
treated with inhalation drugs rises.
Ongoing improvements in aesthetic and
barrier properties will keep tubes a
leading primary container for topical
medication.

gains in accessories
Pharmaceutical closures will grow 6.2
percent annually through 2012. Vial
stoppers, syringe tips and plastic flip-top
vial closures will command the strongest
growth as injectable bioengineered
drugs broaden emergency care chronic
disease indications. Twist and turn childresistant caps will remain the top closures for oral and liquid drug containers,
but will lose growth momentum as blister
packs and pouches penetrate unit dose
applications. Plastic dispensing closures
will fare much better among drug makers
based on ease of use and convenience
in the delivery of liquid medicines and
lotions. Due to marketing and security

benefits, paperboard boxes will lead

sales of secondary pharmaceutical
containers. Demand for prescription vials
will increase slowly as ethical medicines
are adapted to prescription dose bottles
for direct dispensing. Due to trends
toward smaller-sized shipments, shipping cartons will post faster growth
opportunities than corrugated shipping
boxes. Demand value recorded by
pharmaceutical labels will advance
rapidly as drug makers change to highervalue-added types to meet pedigree
regulations for combating drug counterfeiting. Demand for other packaging
accessories, including shrink wrap and
bands, tamper-evident seals, desiccants
and packaging materials will expand with
increases in pharmaceutical shipments.

In general, innovations in paper and paperboard for pharmaceutical applications have focused on improving graphic capabilities. For
example, PRINTKOTE solid bleached sulfite paperboard developed by
MeadWestvaco features a glossy finish that is well-suited to flexographic, offset and gravure printing. The material also allows for graphics of
up to seven different colors. Among pharmaceutical applications served
by PRINTKOTE are secondary boxes and cartons for blister packs,
plastic bottles and other containers. In addition to MeadWestvaco, other
producers of paper and paperboard for pharmaceutical packaging applications include International Paper, Weyerhaeuser, Georgia-Pacific,
Nippon Paper Industries and Stora Enso.
