Will Demand for Cost-effective & Flexible Packaging Enable Growth?

The demand for drugs is increasing in various countries due to the shortage of drugs which leads to the import of drugs from other countries. This will require proper packaging to store and ship the drug or mediation and also the packaging need to be ensured that it protects the drug from various climatic and environmental elements during the transportation.

The need for safety will generate a growth opportunity for the diagnostic vials market. Also, the research in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries are rising day by day, this also boosts the demand for diagnostic vials.

What Limits the Growth of the Diagnostic Vials Market?

The diagnostic vials majorly are available in glass material. Also, the demand for glass diagnostic vials is more than the plastic diagnostic vials this limits the market for diagnostic vials as glass diagnostic vials require extra packaging and care while shipping and storing. This increases the cost of transportation.

The production of glass diagnostic vials require more energy and power as glass do not get melted at low temperature which increases the carbon footprint. These factors hinder the market growth of diagnostic vials.
