Post COVID-19 Impact on Pharmaceutical Blister Packaging Market
The recent outbreak of coronavirus has critically impacted the various sectors across the globe. The materials and packaging sector was also grievously hit by the pandemic. The various lockdown and social distancing restrictions led to the large-scale disruptions in the supply chain, shortage of workers, transportation restrictions and raw material shortages resulting in downfall in the demand for pharmaceutical blister packaging.
However, the vaccines require different administration routes (e.g., inhaled, oral, transdermal, and injectable), demand for primary packaging can be extended across multiple packaging formats after vaccine approval. As a result, COVID-19 is expected to drive pharmaceutical packaging growth over the forecast period.
Recent Development
- In April 2020, Schott AG a German pharmaceutical glass manufacturer, introduced smart containers, which are laser-marked with a unique identifier to create robust traceability throughout the manufacturing process. The company has entered the digitised pharma manufacturing space. Every Smart Container is marked with a laser and a unique identifier, allowing for unprecedented traceability throughout the manufacturing process. The new concept allows pharma manufacturers to harness the power of machine vision and big data analytics on pharmaceutical filling lines. According to the German company, the new technology can be used to improve reject management and line clearance. It also lowers the chance of a mix-up, improves lyophilization processes, and facilitates container-based targeted recalls.
