Generics Factor Into Pharmaceutical Packaging Equipment Market Growth

By 2020, this market will be worth US$7.24 billion, says new report, although cost-cutting measures will slow growth.

Growth in the pharmaceutical packaging market is attributable to the growing generics market; the rising need for novel and flexible packaging equipment; stringent regulatory compliance and validation processes, compelling the replacement of older equipment; and growing offshore and contract manufacturing in the pharmaceutical market.

However, the use of refurbished packaging equipment to address cost-cutting measures in high-growth markets such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America may hinder the growth of this market to a certain extent.
