Automated packaging lines are also multitasking, which covers numerous steps of the packaging process such as forming, filling, sealing and labeling into single step. The designers of packaging line automation systems are prioritizing the design of human-machine interfaces (HMIs) to streamline processes. These enhanced HMI can sort it simpler for operators and managers to access information related to specific packaging production line.
The above trend is expected to be backed by increasing availability of biotechnology products with specific requirements for packaging such as prefilled syringes and single-use vials. Vials and prefilled syringes are two of the most common forms of pharmaceutical unit dose packaging, typically preferred in clinical research and diagnostic centers.
Vials and blisters have been identified as the most prominently used products in the pharmaceutical unit dose packaging market. Manufactures are vigorously ramping up for their facilities of vials production in anticipation of the demand for COVID-19 vaccine supply from all over the world. Thus, the segment is projected to expand 5.7x its current value during the forecast period.
