Temperature Controlled Packaging Solutions for Pharmaceuticals Market - Outlook

The temperature-controlled packaging solutions for the pharmaceuticals market is expected to record an above-average growth rate during the forecast period. The key end use industries for the temperature-controlled packaging solutions for pharmaceuticals are healthcare, biomedical, and chemical industries.

Given the increase in demand for a conducive environment for pharmaceuticals, efforts have been made by manufacturers to work on the quality of the perishable pharma products.

In addition, the intervention of the central healthcare bodies is also a key influencer driving the growth of the temperature-controlled packaging solutions for the pharmaceuticals market.

For instance, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA has defined a regulation under distribution procedures, which states that pharmaceuticals are to be shipped with the right temperatures.

As a result, companies operating in the temperature-controlled packaging solutions for the pharmaceuticals market are looking at electronic temperature and humidity equipment for the proper delivery and dispatch of the delivery drugs.

During the spread of the pandemic, the temperature-controlled packaging solutions for the pharmaceuticals market witnessed a significant boost, as dependency on healthcare and pharmaceutical was high among individuals. Besides this, multiple uses of temperature-controlled packaging solutions for vaccines and other medicines to cure and prevent coronavirus are expected to amplify the market growth during the forecast period.

Temperature Controlled Packaging Solutions for Pharmaceuticals Market

On the flip side, there have been several deterrents that are impacting the moderate growth of the temperature-controlled packaging solutions for the pharmaceuticals market. Among the others, low awareness regarding the availability of technology to maintain the right temperature for pharmaceutical packaging in some parts of the developing countries is impacting the true market potential.

In addition, the cost of advanced temperature-controlled packaging is a key concern for numerous pharmaceutical companies. This could hamper the growth pace of the temperature-controlled packaging solutions for the pharmaceuticals market during the forecast period.

Top 3 Factors Shaping the Temperature Controlled Packaging Solutions for Pharmaceuticals Market

Strong Emphasis on Waste Reduction of Critical Biologics to Boost Demand

The global demand for temperature-sensitive vaccines is anticipated to grow 6-7% annually. International organizations, such as World Health Organization (WHO), are continuously focusing on reducing wastage of vaccines across the globe.

For instance, in 2012, World Health Organization estimated global liquid vaccine wastage at a staggering 25%, primarily attributed to disruptions in cold chain supply.

As a part of this, various programs have been initiated to monitor vaccine wastage. These programs also focus on proper handling and transportation of vaccines and in turn, are driving the demand for temperature controlled packaging.

Growing Adoption of Vacuum Insulated Panels (VIP) and Phase Change Materials (PCMs)

The need for better handling of temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products has resulted in increased research for more advanced temperature controlled packaging insulation materials such as VIP, PCMs, and sheep wool.

VIP-based insulation and PCM-based refrigerants offer major advantages over conventional expanded polystyrene (EPS) and polyurethane insulated shippers. Shippers implementing VIPs and PCMs are relatively lightweight, provide wide temperature ranges, cut distribution costs, and thus, are gaining market share.

  • Sonoco Thermosafe’s product ‘Greenbox’ for healthcare industry uses VIP as an insulation material and a patented renewable plant-based PCM.

Maintaining a Robust Supply Chain despite Changing Climatic Conditions is a Challenge

Cold chain packaging, particularly for pharmaceuticals is exposed to rigorous climatic conditions, wherein the packaged pharmaceutical products are shipped through different modes of transportation, including ocean transportation. This increases the risk of direct exposure of the packaged product to sunlight, dwell time on the dock, and stress on the package due to other products in the container.

As only a handful of manufacturers test their pharmaceutical packaging products to bear such stress, not all suppliers can meet client requirements. Therefore, a large portion of the industry is facing issues related to temperature controlled pharmaceutical packaging product performance across different climatic conditions and thus, do not meet quality standards.

Furthermore, exhibiting minimal or no external environment impact on the stored product is also important for pharmaceutical companies, as there are reported incidences wherein variation in the pharmaceutical product’s storage temperature resulted into a profound impact on drug’s stability and therapeutic efficacy.
