Rising Demand for Single-Dose Pharmaceutical Bottles in North America: A Stronghold of Key Players and Growing Medical Delivery Innovations

Pharmaceutical Unit Dose Packaging Market

North America has asserted its dominance in the market, commanding a substantial 21.2% revenue share in 2022, a trend set to continue with a projected Pharmaceutical Unit Dose Packaging Market share of 38.6% by the end of the forecast period. The region’s success is attributed to the presence of key pharmaceutical plastic bottle manufacturers, such as Gerresheimer AG, AptarGroup Inc., Amcor Ltd., and Berry Plastics Group, Inc., driving demand for single-dose pharmaceutical bottles.

This growth is further buoyed by thriving economies, an aging population, and advanced medical delivery systems. With a robust primary medical community, increasing research endeavors in life and medical sciences heightened healthcare spending, and a significant pharmaceutical and medical supply industry presence, demand for these products is expected to rise.

The United States alone contributed 11.90% of revenue share in 2022 and is projected to reach 12.8% industry share by 2023. The correctional setting in the U.S. sees strong medication adherence, with many incarcerated individuals relying on external pharmacies to fulfill their prescriptions. Some facilities may have an onsite pharmacist, but often, they depend on centralized medication supply systems, supported by onsite nurse managers, emphasizing the need for low-effort dispensing administration systems like unit dose packaging to ensure patient adherence.

The global pharmaceutical unit dose packaging market is on a remarkable growth trajectory, with a forecasted valuation of US$ 34.2 billion in 2023 and a projected surge to US$ 136 billion by 2033, reflecting an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%. This surge is largely attributed to the thriving pharmaceutical sector, which continues to expand rapidly due to significant technological and scientific advancements.

The pharmaceutical industry’s dynamic growth is a key driver behind the increasing demand for pharmaceutical unit dose packaging solutions. As pharmaceutical companies seek to optimize their operations and meet the growing global healthcare needs, efficient and precise unit dose packaging becomes essential.

Another significant factor fueling the market’s growth is the mounting concern about drug wastage. Medication wastage not only has a substantial financial impact on the healthcare system but also contributes to adverse environmental consequences. Consequently, the adoption of unit dose packaging is gaining prominence as a sustainable solution, further propelling the market’s upward trajectory. As the pharmaceutical industry evolves and emphasizes efficiency and sustainability, unit dose packaging is poised to play a pivotal role in its continued success.

An increase in the supply of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is further fuelling the demand for blister-based unit dose packaging. The new developments in API manufacturing and development facilities are helping the market to grow.

A surge in demand for child-resistant and senior-friendly packaging is further boosting product demand. Unit dose packaging options are designed to avoid accidental ingestion of drugs by children and older adults. This help in improving patient safety and minimizing the risk of medication errors. Furthermore, the increasing number of prescription drugs is increasing revenue growth.

A rise in global spending on medicine is positively impacting the blister unit dose pharmaceutical packaging. Various developed countries are witnessing a better adoption rate for improved healthcare diagnostics and overall standards, including medicine. This is anticipated to augment growth in the industry.

An increase in drug consumption rate is further driving product demand. On the other hand, the evolution of e-commerce platforms is contributing to simplifying drug access and also complying with the strict regulations for safe logistics.
