CELL THERAPY PACKAGING MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
Over the years, the pharmaceutical industry has witnessed several advancements in drug development. It has gradually shifted from a one-drug treats-all model to a more personalized approach to treatment, which involves the use of personalized cell therapies for various disease indications. This shift has led to an evident change in the pharmaceutical packaging domain as well. The packaging of cell therapies is relatively more complex than that of small molecule therapeutics and other biologics. It requires specific conditions for fill / finish, storage and transportation in order to maintain the sterility and viability of cells at cryogenic temperatures and stringent quality standards. Given the complexities associated with handling cell therapies, it has become imperative for cell therapy developers to outline a strategic plan for their packaging and transportation.
In the recent past, to ensure the sterility and quality of cell therapies, several developers have forged strategic agreements with industry stakeholders to ensure the integrity of their therapeutic intervention while storage / transport. It is worth highlighting that the service providers are steadily advancing their packaging technologies beyond the conventional packaging products to meet the demand for cold chain and cryogenic environment required to maintain the stability of these novel, state-of-the-art therapies. Owing to the rising demand for cell-based therapeutics, the market for cell therapy packaging services is expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period.
