Market Overview

The Global Child Resistant Packaging Market is estimated to reach at a CAGR  of 5.4% during the forecast period (2024-2031).

The primary application of child-resistant packaging revolves around reducing the risk associated with dangerous substances and materials that have a chance to contact children in households or similar places. Primarily, child-resistance products are manufactured by employing a specific safety cap that makes it difficult for children to open and close the packaging. Child-resistant packaging protects children from hazardous events caused by undesirable drugs and chemicals by ensuring that medicines are kept in the refrigerator and out of reach of youngsters. 

Non-reclosable packaging for pharmaceutical products, such as blister packs of pills, is included in the child-resistant packaging and is manufactured utilizing durable materials designed to be safe and effective to keep the numerous products out of the reach of youngsters. Child-resistant packaging is widely used in end-user sectors, such as in the packaging of pharmaceuticals, cleaning products, gardening supplies and other home items.

Market Dynamics

The increasing child endangerment cases associated with exposure to various pharmaceutical, chemical and similar products is a major market driver for the global child-resistant packaging market. Nevertheless, the higher price of the respective products compared to standard packaging products restricts the market growth of the individual market. 

Increasing child poisoning cases associated with various industries

One of the primary reasons behind the market's phenominal growth is the increase in child poisoning incidents caused by exposure to dangerous materials from pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food, and beverages. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, among children under six, almost 50,000 child poisoning cases occur each year in the U.S. 

The child-resistant packaging industry has been fueled by rising demand for pharmaceutical packaging designed to safeguard youngsters. According to the American Chemical Society Organization, the global pharmaceutical packaging market was valued at roughly US$ 71 million and is expected to expand at an annual rate of 8.75% in 2019. 

Further, the market has grown as stricter rules and regulations surrounding child safety packaging and certification has become more prevalent. For instance, it is mandated for child-resistant packaging to be certified according to ISO/EN 8317 and US16 CFR 1700.20. In addition, in 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a notice of proposed legislation that ensures child-resistant packaging for safety reasons.

Since the above parameters related to growing instances of child poisoning sufficiently boost the demand and other market prospects of child-resistant packaging globally, the respective factor could be concluded as a major driving force for the individual market.

High price points compared to alternatives.

Though child-resistant packaging products are mandatory to ensure child safety, the price point of these products is sufficiently higher than normal packaging products. The primary reason for the high price range is the quality of child-resistant products, and safety regulations must ensure their quality. For instance, as per British Plastic Federation, every child-resistant packing product has to go through the following rules, depending on their application or end-user industry:

  • The global standard BS EN ISO 8317:2004 covers reclosable packaging associated with any contents.
  • Non-reclosable packaging for medications is covered by BS EN 14375:2003, a European standard.
  • Non-reclosable packaging for non-medicines is covered by BS EN 862:2005, a European standard.
  • 16 CFR 1700.20 is an American regulation that addresses reclosable and non-reclosable packaging for pharmaceuticals and non-pharmaceuticals. In the U.S., this regulation is mandatory and implemented by many other countries.

Since these regulations mandate the usage of a set of raw materials and production quality and processes, the expenses of production associated with child-resistant packaging products are higher than standard packaging products. As the production expenses directly impact the final price point of any product, the higher production price of child-resistant packaging would impart a significantly higher price point to child-resistant packaging products. Since product price is inversely proportional to customer preference, the respective factor should be considered a major market restraint that constricts the market growth.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The global child-resistant packaging market has seen a minor decline initially due to the COVID-19 epidemic, which forced the closure of several major manufacturing facilities. Further, several countries have temporarily halted the respective products' manufacturing due to the COVID-19 epidemic. However, in late 2020, the demand for child-resistant packaging climbed marginally as the needs for various medications skyrocketed, followed by several key manufacturers' drastic increase in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. 

Further, many key manufacturers of child-resistant packaging have planned investments, particularly on the newly introduced bio-based packaging materials, to meet the growing demand of the food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Ezonyx, for instance, began commercial production of its EarthPCB resins material on July 21, 2020. It is a type of bioplastic plant-based polymer that is bio-based, non-toxic and environmentally friendly and is used in the packaging of food, beverages and beauty goods, among other things.

As a result of the colossal rise experienced by end-user markets such as food & beverages and pharmaceuticals, the demand and sales of child-resistants packaging rose rapidly amidst the second wave of the pandemic and is expected to increase even further once the pandemic subsides. 

Market Segment Analysis

The global child-resistant packaging is segmented based on product, material, packaging type, end-user and region.

Rising demand for sustainable, childproof blisters has propelled the segmental growth for blister and clamshells.

Caps and closures, blister and clamshells, joint container tubes, bags and pouches, cartons and others make up the product segment of the global child-resistant packaging market. Blisters and clamshells have the biggest market share, owing to an increase in improved blister packaging for child safety. For instance, Romaco and Huhtamaki launched the first recyclable push-back strip blister packaging for pharmaceutical products on November 22, 2019, which resulted in a desire for segmental growth.

Due to increased demand for sustainable packaging in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and personal care industries and the expanded launch of child-resistant packaging by major players, caps & closures, joint container tubes, bags & pouches and cartons segments are all growing at a faster rate. Elplasto, for instance, debuted their innovative EL-ZIP Child Safe zipper for flexible packaging on September 27, 2020. It's made to include both kid safety and child-resistant characteristics and finds application in storing home chemicals, vitamins/supplements and medicinal marijuana. It's less expensive than other child-resistant closures and works with horizontal and vertical FFS packaging machines and readymade pouch converting equipment.

Market Geographical Share

North America holds the largest market share global child-resistant packaging Market.

Because of various manufacturing businesses associated with food and drinks, medicines, and strong rules and regulations addressing child safety in this region, North America dominated the global child-resistant packaging market, accounting for the biggest market share. Additionally, rising consumer expenditure on pharmaceutical medications manufactured in child-resistant packaging has fueled the expansion of this market. 

According to The Pew Charitable Trusts Organization, annual spending on prescription medications in the U.S. has surpassed US$ 450 million and is expected to outpace growth due to increased healthcare spending. Similarly, the Asia-Pacific area is developing at a higher rate due to rising demand for sustainable packaging due to increasing population demand and increasing investment by leading food and beverage manufacturers, which drives demand for child-resistant packaging.

Market Competitive Landscape

The child-resistant packaging market is moderately competitive with the presence of local and global companies. Some of the key players contributing to the market's growth include WINPAK LTD, WestRock Company, Amcor plc, Colbert Packaging, Körber Medipak Systems GmbH, ABC Packaging, Direct Carow Packaging Inc., Comar LLC, CONSTANTIA, Ecobliss Holding B.V. and among others.
