World Pharmaceutical Packaging
This comprehensive study analyzes the world market for pharmaceutical packaging products, which consist of containers, closures and related accessories for ethical and over-the-counter medication. Specific products examined include plastic bottles, blister packaging, pouches and strip packs, prefillable syringes, medication tubes, prefillable inhalers, vials and ampuls, IV containers, glass bottles and jars, other primary containers (such as aerosol containers and paperboard boxes), standard and specialty caps and closures, secondary containers, prescription containers, and labels and packaging accessories. Existing and emerging applications for pharmaceutical packaging in the world’s leading drug-producing countries are analyzed in detail within the body of this study. For purposes of analysis and clarity, drug shipments originating from Puerto Rico are classified as US shipments.
