The market share for injectable drugs represents about 24% of the total pharmaceutical world market. The injection volume is usually below 20ml and the relevant containers are mainly tubular glass containers: ampoules, vials, cartridges and syringes. As glass tubing production and glass tubing converting technology can seriously affect the quality of the final glass container, high-tech production lines are requested. While market trend looks quite flat for ampoules, a constant increase for vials and a high growth for cartridges and syringes are expected in the near future.
