Global Ampoules and Vials Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Material (Plastic, Glass), By Application (Medical, Non-Medical), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2025 To 2030

The global ampoules and vials market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.29%, attaining US$21.244 billion by 2030, from US$14.941 billion in 2025.

The market expansion for these storage solutions is driven by the robust growth of the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries in many regions worldwide. The increasing global population and the changing lifestyles of people are together shaping the burden of diseases on many governments. As societies in the East continue to be influenced by Western cultures, people's uptake of unhealthy lifestyles is increasing. The growing geriatric population in many countries also adds to the burden of diseases on many governments. As the incidence and prevalence of diseases continue to increase, the demand for drugs increases. Since many drugs are very sensitive to changes in environmental conditions, they need to be stored in specialized containers that can protect their integrity and characteristics. This increases the demand for ampoules and vials, thus propelling the market growth. Demand for these containers is also being driven by the increasing need among drug manufacturers and healthcare providers to store drugs efficiently.

Vials and ampoules allow easier storage of liquids and powders than bigger bottles or containers. This has contributed significantly to the growing demand for these containers, thus boosting their market growth. Apart from this, vials have found numerous applications in the cosmetics sector. Perfume vials have been in style trend for a fairly long time, and these continue to hold significant traction among end-users. The growing manufacturing of fragrances in many countries is driving the sales of vials since vials remain the preferred storage solution for fragrance samples because they ensure the integrity of samples while also making storage more efficient. As long as the growth of perfume manufacturing remains strong, the sales of vials will also continue to rise, thus contributing to the market expansion.

Increasing global demand for the skincare market is expected to propel the need for ampules and vials. In the skincare and cosmetics sector, ampoules are used to contain various types of serums.
