Depyrogenated sterile empty vials are borosilicate glass containers equipped with butyl-rubber stoppers and aluminum seals, designed for the storage of injectable drugs. Depyrogenation is a process that involves the removal of pyrogenic substances, including bacterial endotoxins, through the application of heat.
The main product types of depyrogenated sterile empty vials include 2 ml, 5 ml, 10 ml, 20 ml, and those exceeding 20 ml in volume. For example, a 2 ml vial refers to a container with a volume of 2 milliliters, commonly used for injectable drug storage. These vials are available in standard and large opening variations, typically used with aluminum seals. Depyrogenated sterile empty vials come in glass and plastic packaging, serving the needs of clinical labs, compounding labs, pharmaceutical companies, contract manufacturing organizations, and distributors.

The rising prevalence of infectious diseases worldwide is expected to drive the growth of the depyrogenated sterile empty vials market. Infectious diseases are conditions caused by harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. Depyrogenated sterile vials are used for storing injectable medications involved in the treatment of these infectious diseases. Furthermore, depyrogenated sterile empty vials are also utilized for collecting laboratory samples. For example, in February 2024, the Health Security Agency, a UK-based government agency, reported a 10.7% increase in tuberculosis (TB) cases in England in 2023 compared to 2022. The number of cases grew from 4,380 in 2022 to 4,850 in 2023. As a result, the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases globally is expected to boost the growth of the depyrogenated sterile empty vials market.
The increase in the geriatric population is expected to drive the growth of the depyrogenated sterile empty vials market in the future. The geriatric population refers to elderly individuals aged 65 years and older. Depyrogenated sterile empty vials are used in this population to ensure medication safety and prevent infections, reducing the risk of pyrogenic reactions, which can cause fever and other adverse effects, particularly in older individuals. For example, in October 2022, according to the World Health Organization, a US-based specialized health agency, 1 in 6 people globally will be 60 or older by 2030, and the number of individuals in this age group will double to 2.1 billion by 2050. Additionally, in June 2021, according to the UK Parliament's House of Commons Library, a UK-based information resource, by 2043, the senior population in the UK is expected to rise, making up 24% of the total population (17.4 million people). Therefore, the growing geriatric population is fueling the growth of the depyrogenated sterile empty vials market.
Technological advancements have become a key trend gaining traction in the depyrogenated sterile empty vials market. Leading companies in the market are focusing on integrating advanced technologies into depyrogenated sterile empty vials to improve quality and maintain their competitive position. For example, in November 2022, Gerresheimer AG, a Germany-based drug packaging company, in collaboration with Stevanato Group S.p.A., an Italy-based provider of drug containment, delivery, and diagnostic solutions, launched the EZ-fill Smart platform. This new Ready-To-Fill solution for the global vial market aims to enhance drug packaging quality, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), and reduce lead times for customers. As an evolution of Stevanato Group's pioneering EZ-fill platform, EZ-fill Smart introduces key improvements that can significantly enhance customer product offerings, addressing the increasing demand for ready-to-use vials.
Leading companies in the depyrogenated sterile empty vials market are focusing on product innovation, such as Ready-to-Use (RTU) sterile 100 ml molded glass vials, to gain a competitive advantage. These vials are specifically designed for packaging high-value parenteral drugs in large volumes. For example, in March 2022, SGD Pharma, an India-based company specializing in glass pharmaceutical packaging services, launched Ready-to-Use (RTU) sterile 100 ml molded glass vials. These vials feature no glass-to-glass contact, reducing particle generation to enhance patient safety. They are compatible with various injectable applications and are sterile and depyrogenated, ensuring they are free from contaminants.
