Ampoules Packaging Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Ampoules Packaging Market Analysis

The Ampoules Packaging Market size is estimated at USD 5.08 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 7.17 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.40% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• Ampoules packaging is an essential procedure in manufacturing to protect the product from external contamination. Ampoules are unique because they seal and ensure an aseptic condition factor for the product packaging. The pharmaceutical industry has been using ampoules, especially glass, for a very long period as a primary packaging solution.
• The demand for tamper-proof packaging for pharmaceutical packaging is growing, as tamper-proof packaging in pharmaceutical products ensures that the patient receives the drug in its original, safe, and effective form as it was manufactured in a sterile environment. The increasing demand for tamper-proof packaging has propelled growth. In reference to this, in March 2023, Schott invested around EUR 75 million (USD 81 million) over the last three years with an aim to expand its pharma glass production in India. The Gujarat-based facility emerges as the company's manufacturing hub for borosilicate glass tubing, a material converted to pharmaceutical containers, such as vials, ampoules, or syringes, to store life-saving drugs.
• Additionally, glass is 100% recyclable, and the process does not compromise the quality. It means that most glass packaging never ends up in a landfill and can be reused many times without compromising the integrity of the new product. Glass recycling reduces the carbon footprint. Recycling glass requires fewer raw materials and less energy compared to producing new glass, as it avoids the mining and refining processes. Moreover, the energy required to recycle existing glass products is less than that needed to melt the raw materials. It is eco-friendly and recyclable in nature, which is expected to boost the demand.
• The advent of plastic ampoules in the market has helped ease some of the concerns related to glass fragments getting into the contents of the ampoules during breakage. Manufacturers of plastic ampoules will benefit from this, but regulatory changes and standards may impact them. Additionally, since the demand for ampoules from the pharmaceutical and life sciences end users significantly impacts their usage, the market remains inclined toward these end users for demand variations.
