The global Pharmaceutical Packaging Machinery Market was valued at USD 5.59 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to USD 5.97 billion in 2025, reaching USD 10.15 billion by 2033, with a projected CAGR of 6.86% from 2025 to 2033.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with pharmaceutical packaging machinery market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Packaging equipment is necessary for main and secondary packing, product labelling, and product coding in the pharmaceutical industry. To protect the pharmaceuticals and keep them clean, very advanced packing devices are needed. The need for packing equipment has also been boosted by legislation governing the serialization and tracking of pharmaceutical items.

It is anticipated that factors such as a growing population, greater knowledge of diseases, and high potential for spending on pharmaceutical products will propel the pharmaceutical sector, which will then propel the packaging equipment market. Additionally, various governments have made numerous efforts to make pharmaceuticals accessible to the general public at reasonable costs, which has raised the demand for packaging equipment globally.

COVID-19 IMPACT

COVID-19 Outbreak Surpass the Pharmaceutical Market Growth

The pharmaceutical processing and packaging equipment market has benefited from the ongoing worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic enhanced the need for COVID-19 treatments. Due to the high demand for COVID-19 vaccines and medications, several pharmaceutical producers are expanding their manufacturing facilities. This plan is anticipated to increase demand for new processing and packaging machinery for COVID-19 treatments and vaccinations.

Due to COVID-19's primary disruption of the supply chain, pharmaceutical manufacturing was lagging in a number of nations. Public groups from different nations have increased domestic pharmaceutical production to address this issue and reduce reliance on imports.

LATEST TRENDS

Pharmaceutical Industry's Adoption Of Safety Standards And Regulations Is Anticipated To Drive the Market

The highly regulated pharmaceutical sector places a strong emphasis on the production and packaging procedures' safety and sustainability. In order to combat the sale of fake medications and medical equipment, traceability laws have been implemented throughout the healthcare industry.

For instance, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) controls how medicines are made here. It carefully monitors drug manufacturers' adherence to its Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) requirements in order to assure the quality of drug products. The minimal standards for the processes, settings, and controls used in the production, processing, and packaging of a drug have been established by the CGMP laws for pharmaceuticals.

DRIVING FACTORS

Demand For Active Pharmaceutical Industy (API) Is Increasing Leading Market Growth

The creation of biological APIs raises demand for API packaging, which raises demand for short novel medication applications, which raises demand for pharmaceutical packaging equipment (ANDA). This raises the need in the pharmaceutical sector for cost-efficient and efficient designed product delivery methods.

High Level Of Generics Market Demand Boost The Market Growth

The development of pharmaceutical packaging equipment in the pharmaceutical industry is being fueled by the introduction of novel medications and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases. The market for pharmaceutical packaging equipment is anticipated to be driven by a rise in production volume in certain countries with low-cost manufacturing facilities.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Preference For Used Machinery To Impede Growth

Refurbished equipment is a practical substitute for new instruments for producers in situations when time and money are issues. This is especially true in low-cost manufacturing areas around the Asia Pacific, where regulatory standards are very lax. The authors found that buying used equipment can save costs by up to 45% compared to buying new machinery. Additionally, manufacturers can get updated or renewed versions of their current items, obviating the need to buy a new one. They did issue a warning, however, that if businesses want to maximize the operational effectiveness of a manufacturing facility, they must assess if refurbished equipment is compatible with their current manufacturing processes.
