Market Share by Product

Primary packaging equipment, by product, occupy a sizable portion of the pharmaceutical packaging equipment market share. This can be attributed to the heightened importance of robust primary packaging so as to protect contents from environmental factors and any form of degradation. Any chance in properties of pharmaceuticals can negatively influence the effectiveness of the product, ranging from limited efficiency to damage to health. Accordingly, there is a greater focus on robust primary packaging equipment. The growing need for aseptic filling as well as sealing of drug molecules into sterilised and stable containers, and prefilled syringes and parenteral vials are further bolstering the demand for primary packaging equipment.
