Recently upgraded regulations and standards that address issues such as barrier protection, infection control, patient drug compliance, drug-dispensing errors, and drug diversion and counterfeiting will underlie the growth, Freedonia said.

An increased focus on these issues will boost demand for high-value-added containers and accessories, including enhanced barrier plastic bottles, calendar and wallet blister packaging, prefillable syringes and inhalers, track-and-trace and authentication labels, and unit-dose pouches.
