India pharmaceutical packaging market Overview 2030:
The India pharmaceutical packaging market size was valued at $1434.1 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $3027.14 million by 2030 at a CAGR of 7.54% from 2021 to 2030.
Packaging plays a crucial role in the pharma industry, where its function extends beyond serving as a branding aid and providing barrier protection to products for the shelf-life period. It is increasingly playing a vital role in ensuring overall patient safety by carrying key information pertaining to the product, ensuring tamper-evidence, and traceability of products. Pharmaceutical packaging is usually the economic means of providing presentation, protection, identification, information, convenience, integrity, and stability of the product.
India is the second most populated country with 1.34 billion people and is the third-largest economy. Despite significant improvements in healthcare in the past years, there has been an increase in the number of chronic disease cases at a rapid pace. India is the third-largest producer of pharmaceuticals in terms of volume and thirteenth most significant in terms of value as it has a large raw material base and availability of a skilled workforce. The country offers one of the lowest manufacturing costs in the world, more economical than that of the U.S. and almost half of Europe, and is the largest supplier of generic medicines in the world (20% to 22% of global export volume). It has fuelled the research and development of efficient packing solutions for the pharmaceutical sector that substantially prevents contamination, provides drug safety, and convenience of delivery and handling. Pharmaceutical companies are relying more on packaging and labelling as media to promote and protect their products in the increasing counterfeit market and to meet the new safety regulations.
The specific needs of the elderly and handicapped are being integrated into packaging design, thus making the product more convenient to use. Brand protection to prevent counterfeiting is also a significant factor that enhances competition in the market. The development of new packaging types such as child-resistant packaging (CRP), radiofrequency identification technology, and others with improved properties have led to the rapid growth of the India pharmaceutical packaging market. The adoption and compliance with regulatory norms in pharmaceutical packaging, along with standards about packaging recycling, also fuels the growth of the India pharmaceutical packaging market.
