The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.0% in the forecast period of 2025-2034 to reach around USD 38.56 Billion by 2034, owing to the emerging economies and growing demand for glass bottles.

The demand for the commodity of glass is one of the major drivers of the market. Glass packing is 100% recyclable and environmental-friendly, making it a popular choice, thus contributing to the growth of the pharmaceutical glass packaging market.

This is driving the market growth.

The expansion of the pharmaceutical sector in emerging economies is fuelling the demand for the product. Glass packaging suppliers and manufacturers are concentrating on moving their bases to China, India, and Brazil because of the expanding prospects offered by the pharmaceutical businesses in these nations, particularly in the generics market.

Bormioli Pharma acquired Gmbh, a German company which specialises in the production of pharmaceutical packaging, in December 2020. The acquisition will help them broaden their range of packaging for parental drugs. From an industrial standpoint, Bormioli Pharma will significantly increase its reach in the Central and Northern European markets, where it had already bolstered its presence by purchasing Remy & Geiser.
