NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- INTRODUCTIONPharmaceutical packaging plays a key role in ensuring the sterility and quality of a drug product, while providing information related to its identity and, in certain cases, dosing instructions as well. Primary packaging, owing to the fact that it is in direct contact with the drug / therapy, is considered to be critical to the preservation of the product's stability, efficacy and safety. Further, given the growing complexity of modern pharmacological interventions, especially biologics, it has become imperative for drug / therapy packaging considerations to be reevaluated, taking into consideration the evident shift from large batches of one remedy for everyone to smaller batches of more personalized treatment options. In addition to optimizing drug-packaging compatibility, stakeholders in the pharmaceutical packaging industry have adopted a number of other flexible solutions to reduce overall cost and expedite time to market.Read the full report: https://www.reportlinker.com/p05603948
The use of ready-to-use (RTU), or pre-sterilized / pre-treated, container-closure systems have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional primary packaging, adding significant value to streamline pharmaceutical fill / finish operations. These packaging components eliminate multiple steps in the overall fill / finish process (mainly washing, sterilizing and preparing containers), thereby, helping improve operational efficiencies in compliance to existing regulatory standards. Owing to several other benefits, RTU container-closure systems have gradually gained popularity in the pharmaceutical industry. Moreover, many drug product manufacturers and fill / finish service providers have also adopted such systems to better serve their clients. In the future, as drug developers continue to strive to achieve greater flexibility in their operational protocols, RTU containers and closure systems are expected to play a key role.SCOPE OF THE REPORTThe 'Pre-Sterilized / Ready-to-Use Primary Packaging: Focus on Cartridges, Syringes and Vials, 2018-2030' report offers a comprehensive study of the current scenario and future potential of the RTU primary packaging components market.

Currently, over 45 players are actively involved in providing RTU containers and / or closures, or equipment and services for RTU components. More than 50% of these players are based in Europe. Examples of recently established companies based in this region include (in alphabetical order, no selection criteria) ARaymond Life, Aseptic Technologies, Bio Elpida, Disposable Lab and Zellwag Pharmtech.2. The market for RTU packaging components is fragmented, featuring a mix of small-sized, mid-sized and large players. Presently, the more established stakeholders hold the majority share in the industry, offering multiple types of packaging products. Examples include players (in alphabetical order, no selection criteria) Aptar Pharma, Becton Dickinson, BioPharma Solutions, Daikyo Seiko, Gerresheimer and SCHOTT.3. More than 70 primary packaging containers and / or closures are available in the RTU format. Around 50% of the products that we came across are RTU closures, while 35% are containers. Further, nearly 20% of the components are available as a combination of containers and their affiliated closures.4. Close to 40% of the partnership agreements inked in the period between 2011 to 2018 were acquisitions. Most recently, in 2018, CSP Technologies and Triveni Polymer were acquired by Aptar Pharma and Gerresheimer, respectively. Other partnership models adopted by companies include supply agreements, product development agreements, licensing agreements and distribution agreements.5. Driven by the rising demand for flexible fill / finish solutions and various initiatives to automate such operations, we expect the market for RTU packaging components to grow at an annualized rate of 11.9% till 2030. Owing to the rise in personalized therapeutics, RTU syringes are anticipated to witness the highest growth rate over the forecasted period.6. The majority share of the revenues (close to 70%) is likely to be occupied by North America and Europe; however, we believe that Asia Pacific region will grow at a faster rate of 14% as compared to other geographies over the next decade; this is attributed to the availability of low cost labor (ideal for large scale manufacturing operations), as well the growing demand for high quality packaging components in this region.Read the full report: https://www.reportlinker.com/p05603948
