The increasing demand for caps and closure from the pharmaceutical industry is notably driving market growth analysis. The aging population and new product innovation by pharmaceutical manufacturers are driving the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, the rising health awareness is increasing the sales of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. Manufacturers of OTC drugs are introducing specific medicines for treating minor ailments, which, in turn, is increasing their overall sales. The rise in sales is expected to increase the demand for caps and closures for pharmaceuticals.
New packaging technologies are being introduced globally due to the increasing need for convenient packaging among consumers. Innovative pharmaceutical packaging is easy to use, especially for the elderly population. In multi-dose packaging, a single container holds the prescribed medicines for multiple doses. Thus, the increasing demand for convenience in pharmaceutical packaging is expected to drive the growth of the global caps and closures market during the forecast period.
The emergence of sustainable packaging is a key trend shaping market research and growth. Environmental concerns about plastic packaging have led to an increase in the demand for sustainable packaging among pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and personal care product manufacturers. The plastic materials used in caps and closures are mainly derived from petroleum feedstock and have a harmful effect on the environment. Therefore, manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and food products and other end-users are adopting eco-friendly and recyclable caps and closures. For instance, in September 2020, Johnson & Johnson announced its sustainable goal to use 100% reusable, recyclable, and compostable packaging by 2025.
Vendors of plastic caps and closures are focusing on offering sustainable and recyclable packaging solutions due to the rising preference for eco-friendly packaging. Such initiatives are expected to fuel the demand for recyclable and sustainable packaging materials, including plastic, for the production of caps and closures. These factors will, in turn, drive the growth of the market during the market growth and forecasting period.
The competition from closure-less packaging is challenging market growth. Companies prefer closure-less packaging such as stand-up pouches and blister packs. However, this type of packaging may impede market growth in the long run. Various food and beverage products do not require closure. However, packaging solutions such as blister packs, stand-up pouches, aluminum cans, and pouch packaging have various advantages such as ease of use, storage, and flavor preservation.
A retort pouch is made up of multiple layers of laminates. It is specially designed without caps or closures. These pouches are used for sterile packaging of milk, juices, and convenience food products. They are compact, convenient to use, and lightweight and keep the contents fresh. For instance, Amcor offers retort pouches for food products such as ready meals, soups, pre-cooked rice, baby foods, and wet pet food. The launch of new innovative products, such as Tetrapak packages, will lower the demand for caps and closures during the forecast period. Thus, the presence of closure-less packaging will hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
