Glass Vaccine Vial Market Size, Share, Industry, Forecast and outlook (2024-2031)

Glass Vaccine Vial Market is Segmented By Product Type (Molded Glass Vial, Tubular Glass Vial), By Application (Preventive Vaccine, Therapeutic Vaccine), and By Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) – Share, Size, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2024-2031

Glass Vaccine Vial Market Size

Glass vaccine vial market was valued at USD 552.28 million in 2021. It is forecasted to reach USD YY million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.78% during the forecast period (2024-2031). 

A glass vaccine vial is a small glass vessel or bottle used to store medication as liquids, especially vaccines. For sterilization, glass provides greater thermal stability, increased clarity, exceptional impermeability, excellent barrier properties, chemical tolerance, enhanced regulatory approval, and lower environmental effects. A glass vaccine vial may be made either by injecting molten glass into a mold or by sectioning and finishing the tubular glass.

The major factors propelling the growth of the glass vaccine vial market are growing incidences of infectious diseases spreading across the globe, such as HIV, Ebola, Hepatitis, and more. The need to protect the population from these spreading viruses creates a higher demand for vaccination served in these vials. Further, the increasing vaccine trials and development worldwide for tackling the spread of diseases drives the demand for glass vaccine vials as vaccine trials start from a limited patient base to trial on a mass population. This mass trial requires a higher number of vials for vaccine transport. Moreover, the glass material used for vials is advantageous over other materials due to thermal stability, transparency, sterilization, and more, which positively impacts the inclination towards glass vaccine vials.

Glass Vaccine Vial Market Dynamics

Increasing prevalence of new disease outbreaks

Glass vaccine vial is used to store and transport vaccines made for combating the outbreaks of diseases. The previous decades have witnessed an increase in epidemics with new diseases being introduced into society. For instance: WHO declared Ebola outbreak in May 2021. On February 7, 2021 the Ministry of Health (MOH) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) announced that a case of Ebola virus disease (EVD) had been confirmed in Biena Health Zone, North Kivu Province. To combat these diseases, large-scale vaccination of the risk-associated population is required, which surges the demand for glass vaccine vials during the forecast period. Simultaneously, for the 2021-22 flu season so far, the CDC estimated there have been 1,700 flu deaths, 2.9 million flu cases, and 28,000 hospitalizations because of the flu in the United States. The high prevalence and reoccurrence of these diseases stir the demand for glass vaccine vails to aid in the storage and transport of vaccines, driving the market growth.

On the other hand, the regulatory bodies control the contamination risk of aseptic fill/finish operations to ensure that glass packaging is as safe as possible for the patients using it. This makes the production of glass vials and their filling procedures rigid towards government safety protocols which hinder the market growth.

Glass Vaccine Vial Market Segmentation Analysis

Molded Glass Vial segment is projected to be the dominant segment in the market during the forecast period.

Molded glass vial dominated the global market in 2021, as the molded glass vials offer higher design flexibility which provides the vial high mechanical resistance reducing the risk of breakage. Therefore, molded glass vial's increasing usage in the glass vaccine vial product types is expected to propel segmental growth shortly.

Based on application, preventive vaccines held the dominant position in the global market during the forecast period. The sudden outbreak of diseases with concentrated risk zones propels the population to take precautions against being infected by the disease, supporting the segment growth during the forecast period. Moreover, the preventive vaccine is also expected to project a considerable CAGR during the forecast period.

Glass Vaccine Vial Market Geographical Share

Asia Pacific is the dominating region during the forecast period

Asia-Pacific was held a dominant position in the global glass vaccine vial market in 2021. In Asia-Pacific, China is expected to represent considerable growth during the forecast period.
