Pharmapack Report 2021—an industry report released ahead of Pharmapack Europe in Paris, October 13 and 14—features an in-depth look at the industry conducted by Team Consulting and Cambridge Design Partnership. According to organizers, the report includes a positive appraisal of the pharmaceutical drug delivery device market for next year, and after.
In the short term, the report offers, COVID-19 vaccines are likely to continue sustaining significant demand for syringes and needles. Moving forward, though, novel device innovation is expected to be centered on patient experience and connectivity, and exploration of how that can improve democratization of data and improve adherence.
One crucial challenge pinpointed by Pharmapack experts in the report is “how will developers adapt to both changing data custodianship regulation,” as well as how the trend interplays with the global interest in increasing the sustainability of production—a notable concern around ‘smart’ packaging and connected devices, which frequently incorporate virgin materials, single-use plastics, and involve a higher level of complexity in lifecycle CO2 impact and recycling.
Peter Matthewson, head of electronic engineering with Team Consulting, said environmental concerns about waste could lead to pushback from consumers, or “reputational damage” to companies perceived as less than environmentally responsible.
“Added connectivity also has a significant impact on carbon output during the development phase, as well as at end of life, meaning developers will need to carefully weigh up the benefits against the environmental costs,” Matthewson pointed out. “A case could be made that adding connectivity could go some way to offset environmental costs, as it could potentially improve patient adherence and lead to less costly hospital interventions as a result of patients not taking their therapy as prescribed; however, there is not enough data to accurately understand this impact at this time.”
