The market is expected to witness positive growth during the forecast period. Increasing regulatory stringency   regarding stability testing and storage compliance is prompting pharmaceutical companies to outsource these services to specialized providers. Furthermore, growing complexity of drug formulations is boosting the need for sophisticated stability testing protocols and specialized storage facilities. Market players are increasingly offering integrated stability testing and storage services to help sponsors comply with various regulatory requirements more efficiently. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased demand for temperature-controlled storage from vaccine manufacturers, which is accentuating the market growth. However, high service costs may hinder the growth of small and mid-sized pharmaceutical companies to some extent.

Strict regulatory requirements to monitor drug stability

Pharmaceutical manufacturers around the globe are increasingly focused on ensuring the quality, potency and safety of their drugs throughout the supply chain. Regulatory authorities like the U.S. FDA have stringent guidelines for drug stability testing and require manufacturers to monitor drug samples periodically post approval as well to identify any degradation in drug quality. Stability testing helps to determine the shelf-life and appropriate storage conditions of drugs. It also helps manufacturers comply with cGMP and meet the standards specified in product labels.

With an expanding pharmaceutical portfolio and greater oversight on product quality, it has become imperative for companies to outsource stability testing & monitoring to specialized service providers. These providers offer advanced analytical testing, long-term stability studies, stress testing and specialized storage facilities across temperature zones to accurately simulate supply chain conditions. Their dedicated stability programs help pharmaceutical companies stay compliant with regulatory norms and timely address any deviations observed during monitoring.

Pharmaceutical packaging plays a vital role in protecting drugs from external contaminants and preventing any chemical or physical degradation during transportation and storage. With global supply chains expanding, there is a growing emphasis on developing innovative packaging technologies that can withstand varied climate conditions and ensure drug stability for longer durations. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are actively partnering with packaging service providers to implement specialized solutions like moisture-tight seals, oxygen absorbers, tracking devices and thermal-protective containers. Some key trends include greater use of materials like glass and laminates that offer premium barrier protection from air, moisture and light.
