Dublin, Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Pharmaceutical Vials Market Industry Trends and Global Forecasts to 2035: Distribution by Type of Fabrication Material Used, Sterilization Status, and Key Geographies" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.

The global pharmaceutical vials market valued at USD 11.03 billion in 2025, is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period.

Primary packaging material such as pharmaceutical glass vials play a crucial role in preserving the stability, efficacy and safety of the drug as it is in direct contact with the packaged therapeutic. Additionally, pharmaceutical primary packaging material assists in maintaining the sterility and quality of a drug product, while also providing information related to its identity and, in certain cases, dosing instructions. Moreover, given the high demand for parenteral formulations and rising vaccination campaigns, there is an urgent need for safe and high-quality pharmaceutical vials, for storing and distributing such formulations in large quantities, across the world.

Despite being the most preferred packaging system, traditional vials are often associated with certain challenges, including chances of breakage under extreme conditions, absence of relevant information (serial or batch number) on the package and potential to delaminate. As a result, several pharmaceutical vials manufacturers are exploring novel techniques to overcome the aforementioned challenges associated with conventional pharmaceutical vials in order to create better packaging solutions.

In fact, pharmaceutical vial manufacturers are constantly innovating and creating newer and better packaging solutions in order to meet the changing demands of next generation drug products. Examples of some advancements in this domain include the use of pre-sterilized vials, development of numerous coating materials and adoption of smart drug delivery technologies.
