Pharmaceutical packaging materials refer to packaging materials and containers that directly contact medicines. Pharmaceutical packaging materials are the basis of pharmaceutical packaging, and packaging materials are an important guarantee for realizing the protection value of pharmaceuticals.

From the perspective of the industry chain, the current upstream raw material industries of pharmaceutical packaging mainly include non-ferrous metals, glass, plastics, rubber, paper and other industries; the downstream industries that have demand for the pharmaceutical packaging industry mainly include chemical raw materials and chemical preparations , Chinese patent medicine, biopharmaceutical and other pharmaceutical industries.

According to the "2019-2025 China Pharmaceutical Packaging Materials Industry Market Competition Pattern and Investment Prospect Report" released by Zhiyan Consulting, the market size of my country's pharmaceutical packaging industry has grown steadily in recent years, from 57.54 billion yuan in 2012. By 2018, it was 107.04 billion yuan.

Due to the strict requirements on the technical indicators, production process, production environment, safety, consistency, and adaptability of pharmaceutical packaging materials, pharmaceutical companies need to carefully screen when selecting medical packaging material suppliers. , Only after long-term tests can ensure that its products have good compatibility with pharmaceutical packaging materials, and after long-term running-in can ensure that its machines and pharmaceutical packaging materials have good compatibility.

In addition, the relevant information of the pharmaceutical company needs to be printed on the drug packaging material, and as a special product, it can only be sold to specific customers. Therefore, the industry has the characteristics of customized production, specific customer sales, and strong professionalism.

The functions of drug packaging mainly include three aspects: protection function, convenient application and product promotion. At present, the new development trend of the pharmaceutical packaging market is: white packaging technology is widely used, mechanical technology packaging has become an upstart, and the safety of pharmaceutical packaging is increasingly being taken seriously.

In 2018, the structure of my country's pharmaceutical packaging products has also changed. Due to the characteristics of plastic packaging, such as portability, good sealing and low cost, the market share of glass packaging in pharmaceutical packaging has gradually been squeezed. A large amount of sulfur and nitrate pollutants are produced. Due to the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection, the market size of glass pharmaceutical packaging is also on a downward trend.

In 2018, the proportion of plastic packaging and metal and composite material packaging was 43.3% and 24.0% respectively, which have replaced glass packaging and become the mainstream products in the pharmaceutical packaging industry.
