Recent Developments:
The global ampoules packaging market was valued at USD 3.5 billion in 2020.The ampoules packaging market is well established. Ampoules are small sealed vials that are used to preserve and store samples against contamination. These are mostly made up of glass but plastic ampoules have also come to the market. They play a vital role in the packaging and storage of pharmaceutical products, powders, etc.
Packaging is an essential procedure in the manufacturing process to protect the product from external contamination. Ampoules are special as these are sealed and ensure an aseptic condition for the product.
The Compound Annual growth rate (CAGR) for global ampoules packaging material is estimated to be around 7 % over the current forecast period.
With the development in packaging technology, ampoules are now cost-effective, stronger, and non-reactive with the content. Therefore, the use of ampoules for preserving different products, especially liquid samples, is increasing. The market is expected to expand further to assume a significant value in the near future. The global ampoules packaging Industry is estimated to reach a market value of about USD 8 billion by end of the current forecast period in 2030.
Covid 19 had a negative impact on the global ampoules packaging market. There were large-scale disruptions in supply chains which led to halting in production. As a result, the market growth rate fell sharply.
On the other hand, the demand for medicinal drugs increased manifolds over the period. As the demand for drugs is directly related to the demand for ampoules, the market showed a V-shaped recovery. The global market is expected to catch its pre covid growth rate soon.
The global market for ampoules packaging is dominated by different glass industries and medical device manufacturers. The key global players are:-
The major demand raising factor for the global market is the rise in disease incidence. With rising disease incidence the demand for medicinal drugs increases and so does the market demand for ampoules.
Newer technology such as plastic packaging technology can effectively counter the problem of glass particles contaminating the contents. Moreover, plastic vials are cheap and have high dimensional strength, thus are getting very popular. This is, in turn, boosting the demand for plastic vials manufacturers.
One of the major growth driving factors is strict packaging safety standards set by Governmental bodies. The modern packaging material has to comply with the standards set by the governments and regulatory bodies. Ampoules are getting popular as they are relatively cheap and effective to ensure aseptic conditions. Moreover, government initiatives for the adoption of generic medicines rather than branded medicine are also expected to boost the growth of the market.
As ampoules are available for only one-time use, recycling is an essential step, without recycling the cost of production increases significantly. Moreover, glass ampoules are found to contaminate the contents within, which is still a matter of concern. Therefore, this is hindering the growth of the glass ampoules market. Moreover, the brittleness of glass is also a major problem of the glass ampoules market, restricting growth. On the other hand, plastic ampoules have drawbacks like high absorbability and low heat resistance.
The ampoule is a small, sealed bottle made up of glass or plastic used for preserving solid or liquid content. It is an important packaging material that prevents contamination of content with external agents and ensures aseptic conditions.
Ampoules are used to store chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc. They are used to store chemicals that require a high form of purity and aseptic conditions.
However, ampoules are available for one-time use only as these are opened by cracking the neck.
Glass ampoules are made by glass tubing and shaped by heating with gas torches. Then they are hermetically sealed to prevent air contamination. These ampoules may be transparent or made up of colored glass to prevent photochemical reactions.
This report aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the ampoules packaging market. The specific objectives of this market report are given below:
Glass Ampules dominate the ampoule market. Glass has been used for making ampoules for a long time. Glass is recyclable and heat resistant which makes it the manufacturer's choice. However, plastic is significantly increasing its presence on the Ampules packaging market. Favorable properties of plastic such as cost-friendly, mon reactiveness, and recyclability are making it popular for ampoule making. Moreover, plastic ampoules ensure ease of administration and prevent drug overfill. Furthermore, plastic is not brittle and has greater strength and flexibility.
The pharmaceuticals segment is the leading segment among the three end-users. The rise in disease incidence among a different segment of the population is causing market growth. The need to maintain the aseptic conditions of pharmaceutical drugs necessitates the use of ampoules. Moreover, the development of sustainable and cost-friendly packaging material is making pharmaceutical ampoules more viable.
