"Packaging machines segment is expected to witness highest CAGR during the forecasted period in pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment market."
The packaging machines segment is expected to have the highest CAGR in the pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment market due to a few critical factors. Innovative drug delivery formats such as pre-filled syringes, single-dose vials, and blister packs are gaining much importance in the pharmaceutical industry, which requires advanced and sophisticated packaging solutions. In addition, adoption of sophisticated packaging technologies, such as serialization and tamper-evident solutions, is stringent regulatory requirements for drug safety and traceability. It is also due to the growing trend of patient-centric healthcare, where packaging is playing an important role in enhancing user convenience and compliance. The growth in biologics, personalized medicines, and vaccines also requires highly precise and sterile packaging environments, thereby further driving demand for advanced packaging machines.
"Liquid segment is likely to witness highest CAGR in pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment market during forecasted period ."
The liquid segment is witnessing the CAGR due to regulatory emphasis on pediatric formulations. Regulatory bodies such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have stressed the need for age-appropriate liquid medications to address the challenges children face with swallowing solid forms like tablets and capsules. This push ensures better compliance, safety, and efficacy in pediatric treatments, significantly driving demand for liquid dosage forms. Additionally, liquid medications allow precise dosing, making them ideal for children and other patients requiring tailored administration. The growing focus on pediatric health has led pharmaceutical companies to innovate in liquid formulations, opening new market opportunities.
"Europe is expected to hold the second largest market share of the pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment market during forecasted period".
The region is marked by a very competitive landscape, dominated by both large pharmaceutical companies and SMEs, thus facilitating innovation and diversification in terms of products. A tremendous investment in R&D for new manufacturing technologies supports the region's dominance in this market. Biopharmaceuticals form a great shift in the industry and have transformed it across Europe; Germany has emerged to be the largest producer of EU-approved biopharmaceutical substances. This growth is matched by increasing revenues from biologics, which further strengthens the the pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment market in Europe.
