Over the years, advances in drug / therapy development processes have led the pharmaceutical industry to gradually shift from a one-drug treats all model to a more personalized approach of treatment. The growing complexity of modern pharmacological interventions, such as monoclonal antibodies, and cell and gene therapies, has further prompted the drug developers to develop or identify specialized fill / finish and packaging alternatives that are capable of catering to the specific needs of such novel products. Pharmaceutical packaging, owing to the fact that it is in immediate contact with the drug / therapy formulation, plays a vital role in preserving the identity, quality and integrity of the packaged medicinal product. Although there are various types of primary packaging containers, including ampoules, cartridges and syringes, available in the market for various types of drug formulations, pharmaceutical vials have been observed to be the preferred choice of drug developers, owing to the fact that they provide high container-closure integrity.

Despite being the most preferred packaging system, traditional vials are often associated with certain challenges, including chances of breakage under extreme conditions, absence of relevant information (serial or batch number) on the package and potential to delaminate. As a result, several pharmaceutical vial manufacturers are exploring novel techniques to overcome the aforementioned challenges associated with conventional pharmaceutical vials in order to create better packaging solutions. Examples of some advancements in this domain include the use of serialization techniques (to avoid drug counterfeiting), development of numerous coating materials (to prevent delamination and pH imbalance) and the adoption of smart drug delivery technologies (to improve patient compliance).

Furthermore, pre-sterilized / ready-to-use (RTU) pharmaceutical vials have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional pharmaceutical vials, adding significant value to streamline pharmaceutical fill / finish operations. It is worth noting that these innovations have significantly helped in optimizing costs, easing the filling process and expediting production timelines. Moreover, it enables the pharmaceutical players to overcome regulatory challenges, as well as build a sustainable competitive edge in the market. In addition, due to the unprecedent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for parenteral formulations has increased significantly, therefore providing lucrative opportunities for pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of safe and superior quality vials. In the future, the high demand for parenteral formulations and increase in vaccination campaigns are likely to drive the growth of the pharmaceutical vials market.

Chapter 3 provides a general overview of conventional pharmaceutical packaging and the different types of packaging systems. Further, the chapter features a detailed discussion on pharmaceutical vials, its fabrication material and the different types of caps available. Further, it features a brief discussion on the recent innovations in this domain.

Chapter 4 provides a comprehensive review of the current market landscape of pharmaceutical vials, featuring information on the type of fabrication material used for container (glass and plastic), type of fabrication material used for closure (rubber, plastic and metal), volume of vial (less than 50 ml, 50 ml to 100 ml and more than 100 ml), type of vial cap (screw cap, crimp cap and snap cap), sterilization status (unsterilized and sterilized), type of product (untreated and treated), compatible drug class (biologics and small molecules) and type of formulation stored (liquid, powder and solid). In addition, the chapter includes analysis related to pharmaceutical vial manufacturers, based on various parameters, year of establishment, company size, location of headquarters and key players (in terms of number of products).

Chapter 11 provides an overview of the current and future demand for pharmaceutical vials, in the contemporary market. In order to estimate the aforementioned demand, we considered the current supply of pharmaceutical vials and estimated their proportion that are likely to be supplied to the pharmaceutical industry till 2030. We then segregated the total demand across a number of relevant parameters, including type of fabrication material (glass and plastic), sterilization status (pre-sterilized and unsterilized) and geographical regions (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and North Africa, Latin America, and rest of the world).

Chapter 12 presents a comprehensive market forecast analysis, highlighting the future potential of the market till 2030, based on multiple parameters, such as current demand for pharmaceutical vials, likely adoption rates and the estimated price of components. We have segregated the current and upcoming opportunity based on [A] type of fabrication material used (glass and plastic), [B] sterilization status (pre-sterilized and unsterilized) and [C] key geographies (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and North Africa, Latin America and Rest of the world). It is worth mentioning that we adopted a bottom-up approach for this analysis, backing our claims with relevant datapoints and credible inputs from primary research.

Chapter 13 presents a detailed case study on the role of robots in the pharmaceutical manufacturing and fill / finish process, highlighting its benefits and capabilities. It provides a list of the various types of pharmaceutical robots, along with details on their respective manufacturer and applications. Additionally, the chapter features profiles of players that offer robotic equipment for pharmaceutical manufacturing and fill / finish operations, along with information on the key specifications of their respective machinery.  

Chapter 14 provides insights on pre-sterilized / RTU pharmaceutical vials that are currently available, highlighting the pharmaceutical packaging and filling process, and the various limitations associated with the currently used container closure systems. Further, it features an elaborate discussion on the different sterilization techniques used for primary packaging materials and the advantages of RTU containers and closure systems.

Chapter 15 summarizes the overall report. In this chapter, we have provided a list of key takeaways from the report, and expressed our independent opinion related to the research and analysis described in the previous chapters.

Chapter 16 is a collection of interview transcripts of the discussions held with key stakeholders in this market.
