North America Pharmaceutical Glass Vials And Ampoules Market Analysis

The North America Pharmaceutical Glass Vials And Ampoules Market size is estimated at USD 1.39 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 1.81 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.42% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

  • The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most innovative industries in the region, with a robust development and manufacturing facility for generic drugs. Furthermore, the introduction of stringent laws to enhance the quality and integrity of domestically manufactured drugs in the region is leading to an increase in the use of glass for pharmaceutical packaging products.
  • A rise in the usage of glass for pharmaceutical vials and ampoules is attributed to the advent of strict legislation designed to improve the integrity and quality of pharmaceuticals produced domestically. The pharmaceutical industry’s growing need for sterile medical packaging products is anticipated to fuel the market's expansion throughout the forecast period.
  • Glass remains a preferred material for pharmaceutical packaging due to its chemical durability and compatibility with various chemical compositions. Glass vials and ampoules offer enhanced transparency, facilitating easy viewing and monitoring of contents. Additionally, glass provides superior protection as it is chemically resistant to most pharmaceuticals and relatively impermeable to air and moisture.
  • Furthermore, the increasing demand for sterile medical packaging products from pharmaceutical industries would further drive the growth of the studied market during the forecast period.
  • The rising demand for injectable pharmaceuticals significantly boosts the growth of glass vials and ampoules. The robust demand for oncology and other high-potency drugs, such as antibody conjugates, steroids, and IV fluids requiring rapid onset of action, is expected to be a key growth driver.
  • The pharmaceutical industry is heavily regulated, with stringent requirements for packaging materials to ensure safety and efficacy. Compliance with these regulations can be time-consuming and costly for manufacturers, potentially limiting the market’s growth.

North America Pharmaceutical Glass Vials And Ampoules Market News

  • March 2024: SCHOTT Pharma, a player in pharmaceutical drug containment solutions and delivery systems, planned to construct the first United States facility for manufacturing prefillable polymer syringes. The project will involve a total investment of USD 371 million and create 401 new jobs in the region. Groundbreaking is expected by the end of 2024, with operations projected to commence in 2027. The company may also consider manufacturing vials and ampoules in the future.
  • January 2024: SCHOTT Pharma developed glass vials specifically designed for deep-cold storage of medications. These vials are crucial for preserving life-saving vaccines, including gene therapy and mRNA treatments, which require freezing and transportation at temperatures as low as -80°C. Traditional vials are susceptible to breakage due to the extreme thermal stress and other factors involved in the freezing and thawing. This breakage often leads to significant drug loss and costly production delays.
  • October 2023: Gerresheimer, a global partner for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, launched Cyclic Olefin Polymer (COP) vials. These vials offer an effective solution for filling and storing highly sensitive biologics. The COP vials are suitable for mRNA active ingredients at temperatures as low as -80°C and can withstand cryogenic conditions.
