The global vial box market, currently valued at USD 274.1 million in 2024, is projected to expand to USD 398.2 million by 2034, reflecting a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% over the forecast period. According to the latest industry report, the market, which generated revenue of USD 261.9 million in 2023, is set to witness a year-on-year (Y-o-Y) growth of 3.6% in 2024.
Plastic is expected to secure a leading position in the vial box market, driven by its extensive use due to several advantages such as lightweight properties, impact resistance, and affordability. Unlike glass, plastic vial boxes offer enhanced protection during transportation, reducing the likelihood of breakage.
In addition to its durability, plastic’s ability to be molded into various shapes enables customization, providing the option for personalized vial packaging solutions. Although glass continues to be used for high-end or sensitive pharmaceutical products, plastic remains the dominant material in the market due to its practicality, particularly in bulk production and handling.
