Pharmaceutical Glass Tube Market Overview
Introduction and needs of the product:
Glass is the most widely used packaging material in the pharmaceutical industry. In industry, most of the major packaging products such as bottles, ampoules, vials, syringes, etc. are made of glass material. Pharmaceutical tubing is used by pharmaceutical packaging companies as a raw material for manufacturing primary packaging products. Glass tubes are supplied by major international companies such as Corning, Schott, etc.
There are four types of glass tubes that glass manufacturers supply to packaging manufacturers. Glass Type I is the most used glass type for pharmaceutical glass packaging. Type I glass, also called ‘borosilicate glass’, has excellent chemical stability and high heat resistance against thermal shock and rapid temperature change.

For protection from sunlight, 2 O 3 , Ti 2 O 3 or MnO can be added to type I glass to produce amber borosilicate glass. Type III glass, also known as ‘soda-lime glass’, is used to produce pharmaceutical bottles that only store solid pharmaceuticals due to its low chemical resistance properties. Pharmaceutical glass tubes play an important role in the manufacturing process of pharmaceutical parent containers.
Pharmaceutical Glass Tube Market: Market Dynamics
The pharmaceutical glass tubing market is highly integrated with three market players: Corning Pharmaceutical Glass, Schott AG, and Nipro Pharmaceutical Packaging. All of these companies have more than 30% market share in the pharmaceutical glass tube market. Owing to the high growth of demand for pharmaceutical matrix packaging products, the pharmaceutical glass tube market will witness an impressive CAGR of 5%-6% over the next 6-7 years.

However, it is rarely difficult for new entrants to gain significant market share in the market as a small number of players dominate. Companies with presence in the market plan to invest in developing countries such as China, India, etc. to strengthen their supply chains and serve new customers in the market. Glass is still the widely preferred format for manufacturing packaging containers for pharmaceutical parents. However, while plastic materials are gaining traction in pharmaceutical syringe production, plastic materials still account for less than 20% of the global syringe market.
Glass peeling is a major concern in the pharmaceutical glass packaging market that may reduce demand to some extent in the near future.
The key developments observed in the Pharmaceutical Glass Tubes market are:
- In November 2017, Schott AG started a new manufacturing facility in China to manufacture ampoules, vials and cartridges made of glass tubes for the domestic pharmaceutical industry.
- In January 2017, Schott AG integrated a specially developed big data solution in its glass tube manufacturing facility to improve quality standards.
- In November 2015, Corning Incorporated completed the acquisition of Gerresheimer’s pharmaceutical glass tubing business for $244 million.
