MSI forecast that the total UK market for pharmaceutical packaging will increase
by 22% in real terms between 2002 and 2006. The other pharmaceutical packaging
sector, which includes inhalers, drug delivery systems, unit dose liquid products
such as eye and ear drops and transdermal patches, is expected to achieve one
of the most significant growth rates between 2002 and 2006.
MSI believe that the proportional importance of the containers sector will decline
from 19% in 2002 to 16% at the end of the forecast period, as a reflection of
the trend towards the use of cartons, labels and leaflets in patient packs
