The global sterile vials market value reached at US$ 4.5 Bn in 2020 and predicted to surpass over 12 billion by 2030, expanding at a noteworthy CAGR of 8.1% from 2021 to 2030. Growth of biologics and combination drug/device products across the globe, increase in global geriatric population, and rise in awareness among consumers about infections are anticipated to propel the global sterile vials market.

Key Driver

Drug and pharmaceutical manufacturers need to maintain the required quality of sensitive medicines while storing and supplying. Drugs and medicines come in contact with storage containers made of aluminum and other vessels that impart some amount of flavor into the drugs, which degrades the quality. However, glass vials are non-reactive with the drug stored in them. Moreover, these glass vials are dust-resistant and easy to clean. Furthermore, features such as longer shelf life and contamination-free storage increase the popularity of glass vials.

Rise in inclination of various end users, such as biopharmaceutical companies, CMOs, and clinical labs, toward glass vials boosts the growth of the global sterile vials market. Moreover, glass vials are easily recyclable, and glass is considered eco-friendly material, which propels its popularity. This shift in focus of end users from conventional containers and vials to glass vials propels the global sterile vials market.

Hybrid Packaging Solutions Help Meet Global Demand for COVID-19 Sterile Vials

While pharmaceutical companies are highly focused on coronavirus vaccine development, they are also considering primary packaging alternatives to fill, store, and distribute billions of vaccine doses worldwide. However, pharma companies are facing a global shortage of borosilicate glass due to unexpected and unprecedented demand for sterile vials. On the other hand, ordinary plastics increase risk of compromising drug efficacy and stability. Hence, companies in the sterile vials market are increasing their research in hybrid packaging solutions involving SiO2 (Silica) Materials Science that combines glass and plastic without their respective drawbacks.

Multi-layer Extrusion Blow Molding Technology in Vials Offers Robust Moisture Barrier
