According to Straits Research the global pharmaceutical packaging market size was valued at $178.07 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow from $194.81 billion in 2026 to $399.71 billion by 2034, registering a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period 2026–2034.
Pharmaceutical packaging is used for storing and transporting of medicines while keeping its properties intact until it is consumed. Innovation and product development has always been among the primary driving force of the pharmaceutical industry. This is one of the reasons why the use of technology is the area of focus and investment among leading players of this market. Companies are putting in considerable effort into expanding their facilities and equipping themselves with modern technologies to stay ahead in this market. For instance, in March 2019, Gerresheimer announced its plan of investing in a new plant in Skopje, Macedonia. The plan is expected to start from the second half of 2020. However, recent developments such as Brexit and the coronavirus pandemic is expected to delay its operation.
Asia-Pacific will register the highest growth rate in this market, owing to the emerging middle class, along with the increase in investments aimed at improving the healthcare infrastructure. However, the high packaging costs, the erratic regulatory landscape, and the increasing efforts on anti-counterfeiting measures are anticipated to restrict the growth of this market to a certain extent.
