The global pharmaceutical packaging market has been predicted to double to $149bn in a decade, with India one of the markets currently producing a large quantity of plastic pharmaceutical packaging. Large multinational pharma packaging companies, such as Amcor, Huhtamaki, West Pharma and SGD Pharma, along with Indian companies, including UFlex and EsselPropack, lead the way within the country’s pharma packaging market. One pharmaceutical challenge India faces is its heavily reliance on plastic packaging, which has triggered discussions on recycling and the lack of consumer knowledge in sustainability. In addition, India’s pharmaceutical packaging market is working towards creating innovative features like digital timers and alarms on pill bottles, dose monitoring and innovative mechanised blister packs.
