Market Overview

---

The vaccine packaging market in the United States was valued at $923.7 million in 2022 and is projected to reach $1,385.7 million by 2028, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.99% during the forecast period. In 2022, the primary vaccine packaging segment accounted for 71.13% of the US vaccine packaging market based on the packaging level. Over the past few decades, the US vaccine market has seen significant advancements, largely attributed to its strong focus on research and development (R&D) activities.

Vaccine packaging encompasses the secure packaging of vaccines to preserve their therapeutic efficacy for a specified duration. This includes packaging vaccines in vials, ampoules, prefilled syringes, and bags & pouches, which serve as the initial level of packaging. When vaccines are produced in bulk, they are typically bottled in glass vials and appropriately packaged for safe cold storage and transportation.

The US market is experiencing substantial growth due to increasing R&D activities driven by the prevalence of various infectious diseases, the presence of leading pharmaceutical companies, significant investments in drug development, well-developed infrastructure, and extensive government involvement in vaccination programs. Among the different material types, glass containers have witnessed rapid growth owing to their superior external barrier properties and high demand for primary packaging purposes.
