The geographic scope of this report includes Puerto Rico. Most major multinational drug
makers operate one or more production facilities and consume a significant volume of
packaging in that territory. In 2013, Puerto Rico accounted for approximately one-half of
the value of US pharmaceutical shipments and a comparable level of pharmaceutical
packaging demand.
Total demand is also segmented by market as follows:
pharmaceutical manufacturing
contract packaging
other markets such as retail pharmacy, institutional pharmacy, and
mail order pharmacies.
To illustrate historical trends, total demand is provided in an annual series from 2003 to
2013; shipments and the various demand segments are reported at five-year intervals
for 2008 and 2013. Forecasts are developed via the identification and analysis of
pertinent statistical relationships and other historical trends/events as well as their
expected progression/impact over the forecast period. Changes in quantities between
reported years of a given total or segment are typically provided in terms of five-year
compound annual growth rates (CAGRs). For the sake of brevity, forecasts are
generally stated in smoothed CAGR-based descriptions to the forecast year, such as
demand is projected to rise 3.2% annually through 2018. The result of any particular
year over that period, however, may exhibit volatility and depart from a smoothed, longterm trend, as historical data typically illustrate.
Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided at five-year intervals with CAGRs for
i
the years corresponding to other reported figures. Other various topics, including
profiles of pertinent leading suppliers, are covered in this report. A full outline of report
items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
