Industry market reports have predicted a significant increase in the growth of the global pharma packaging industry in the next ten years. What are your thoughts on this?

Sherma Ellis-Daal: The short answer is yes … and this also chimes with everything we saw at Pharmapack Europe (January 22 – 23, 2025 in Paris, France). If you take the findings in our own Pharmapack report, there is big growth potential not only in newer types of packaging innovations in areas like smart packaging and eco-friendly options, but also, in contract packaging and filling. The latter has become especially topical with the great volume of GLP-1 drugs we have seen in the last few years, and this will only accelerate as generics come to market.
