Pharmaceutical Vials Witnessing High Demand Due to COVID-19 Pandemic

Over the years, advances in drug / therapy development processes have led the pharmaceutical industry to gradually shift from a one-drug treats all model to a more personalized approach of treatment. The growing complexity of modern pharmacological interventions, such as monoclonal antibodies, and cell and gene therapies, has further prompted the drug developers to develop or identify specialized fill / finish and packaging alternatives that are capable of catering to the specific needs of such novel products.^[1] Pharmaceutical packaging, owing to the fact that it is in immediate contact with the drug / therapy formulation, plays a vital role in preserving the identity, quality and integrity of the packaged medicinal product.[2] Pharmaceutical vials have been observed to be the preferred choice of drug developers, owing to the fact that they provide high container-closure integrity.[3]

Due to the unprecedent outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for parenteral formulations has increased significantly, therefore providing lucrative opportunities for pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of safe and superior quality vials.[4] In the future, the high demand for parenteral formulations and increase in vaccination campaigns are likely to drive the growth of the pharmaceutical vials market.
