Ophthalmic packaging refers to the specialized materials and containers utilized to store, transport, and safeguard ophthalmic products such as eye drops, ointments, contact lenses, and surgical instruments. These packaging solutions are tailored to ensure the safety, sterility, and integrity of the enclosed ophthalmic items, while also emphasizing user convenience and adherence to usage guidelines.
The types of ophthalmic packaging encompass multi-dose and single-dose formats. Multi-dose packaging involves containers intended to hold multiple doses of ophthalmic medications or treatments in one unit, utilizing materials such as glass and others. These packages are available to end-users both over the counter (OTC) and via prescription.

These ophthalmic packaging market research reports deliver a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The ophthalmic packaging market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $8.67 billion in 2023 to $9.91 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the demographic shifts towards an older population, growing prevalence of eye disorders, stringent regulations governing the packaging and labeling of ophthalmic products, increased healthcare expenditure, and market expansion initiatives.
The ophthalmic packaging market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.07 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.6%. The growth expected during the forecast period can be linked to several factors, including the rising acceptance of contact lenses and vision correction devices, the increased use of specialized medications, the expansion of healthcare facilities, heightened public consciousness regarding eye wellness, and the proliferation of eye healthcare centers and clinics. Notable trends anticipated in this period involve the uptake of intelligent packaging systems, integration of anti-counterfeiting safeguards, implementation of automation and robotics in packaging procedures, creation of smaller and lighter packaging designs, and the infusion of digital components.
The surge in cases of eye disorders is anticipated to drive the expansion of the ophthalmic packaging market in the future. Eye disorders encompass various medical conditions affecting the eye's normal function, leading to vision impairments or other visual irregularities. This rise in eye disorders can be linked to factors such as aging demographics, shifts in lifestyle habits, environmental influences, and heightened screen time. Ophthalmic packaging plays a critical role in ensuring the safe and sterile delivery of medications and medical tools used for treating eye disorders. It not only preserves patient health and well-being but also mitigates contamination risks and ensures precise dosing accuracy throughout treatment. For instance, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in January 2024, over 3.4 million Americans aged 40 years and above were either blind or visually impaired, with projections indicating a doubling of this figure by 2030. Hence, the escalating incidence of eye disorders acts as a catalyst for the growth of the ophthalmic packaging market.
Major players in the ophthalmic packaging sector are actively engaging in strategic collaborations to gain a competitive advantage. These partnerships empower companies to harness synergies, explore new avenues, mitigate risks, and fortify their market position. For example, in March 2022, Berry Plastics Group Inc., a prominent US-based plastic packaging manufacturer, joined forces with Pylote, a US-based specialist in industrial mineral chemistry. Together, they introduced an innovative multidose ophthalmic dropper featuring robust barrier properties and antimicrobial technology. This product aims to offer heightened protection against microbial infections, including viruses and bacteria such as adenovirus type 3, E. coli, and S. aureus. Furthermore, it reduces plastic waste compared to single-dose alternatives while adhering to stringent biocompatibility standards.
In November 2023, Conductive Containers Inc., a US-based producer of electrostatic discharge (ESD) packaging solutions, acquired Crestline Plastics Inc., the financial terms of which remain undisclosed. This acquisition is intended to expand Conductive Containers' array of products and its manufacturing capabilities in static control packaging. By capitalizing on Crestline Plastics' proficiency in plastic enclosures and optic lens inserts, Conductive Containers aims to strengthen its position in the market. Crestline Plastics Inc., based in the US, specializes in optics packaging and produces tailored thermoformed packaging solutions for optical components.
