These desiccant canisters are considered non-toxic. In addition, these canisters are FDA CFR 21 approved and considered safe to use in direct contact with food or pharmaceuticals.

Plastic is the most preferred packaging material as it is available in a variety of grades, has significant barrier properties, is chemically inert, and can be used to create attractive packages with aesthetic appeal, which helps in the marketing and promotional activities for the drug. The grades of plastic used for packaging include PE, PP, polyolefin, PET, and PVC. Canisters are also developed from Polyethylene material.

Canisters are being used in various applications such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, chemicals, retail industries. Various industries use canisters on the basis of its configuration. For instance, pharmaceuticals use canisters of configuration 0.5-1 gm. on major basis whereas chemicals are using 1 gm. - 2gm. canisters mostly. Other packaging types such as syringes and vials are being used by diagnostic market. Due to their rigid design, these desiccant canisters are ideal for automatic, high-speed insertion in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical bottles and packaging. While desiccant packets are fed from a reel and require constant line stoppages, these are fed through a hopper system, allowing for seamless, constant insertion.

The major growth factors of global canisters market include rise in contract manufacturing, the flourishing pharmaceutical industry, and the rising awareness about the benefits of canisters among global consumers. The global pharmaceutical packaging market is also expected to benefit from technological advancements such as the introduction of Nano-enabled packaging, the packaging type that currently provides the most enhanced barrier properties against moisture, light, and mechanical forces.
