The global child-resistant packaging market size was US$ 23.2 billion in 2021. The global child-resistant packaging market size is estimated to reach US$ 40.8 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.
Child-resistant packaging refers to packaging materials that are difficult for children to open within a reasonable time. This type of packaging protects children by preventing them from accessing harmful products. It is defined by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act under child-resistant packaging. This act ensures child safety by focusing on the prevention of accidental ingestion of hazardous products. Child-resistant packaging is made of a variety of materials such as plastic, fiber, metal, glass, and paper. This packaging material is used in pharmaceutical industries for packing medicinal drugs.

Factors Affecting Marketing Growth

The growth in demand for metal, paper, and fiber child-resistant packaging compared to plastic material for packaging drugs and alcohol due to its recyclable and compostable nature is expected to drive the growth of the global market.
The increase in the use of medications, pharmaceutical products, and chemicals owing to the rise in population is expected to drive the growth of the global market.
Child-resistant packaging is used for packaging cosmetic personal care products to prevent direct exposure to children which drives the growth of the global market.
Lack of awareness about child-resistant packaging by end users can hinder the growth of the global market.

Impact on COVID-19 Analysis

COVID-19 halted the production of many products in the global child-resistant packaging market as a result of lockdowns. Furthermore, the number of pandemic cases is expected to reduce in the future with the introduction of vaccines for COVID-19. This has led to the reopening of child-resistant packaging industries at their full-scale capacities, which is expected to help the market recover by end of 2022.
