Child Resistant Closures Market Size and Forecast to 2028

[Research Report] The child resistant closures market size is expected to grow from US$ 2,415.35 million in 2022 to US$ 3,444.40 million by 2028 from US$ 2,415.35 million in 2022. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2022 to 2028.

The usage of child resistant closures is growing due to the increasing cases of accidental poisoning in children. The increasing regulations pertaining to the packaging of products containing harmful chemicals are one of the major drivers of the market. Moreover, the growing global pharmaceutical industry is contributing to the growth of child resistant closures market.

Children under six years old are the most vulnerable group at risk of drug poisoning as a few medicines appear attractive to them due to their distinct colors and small size. Adults need medicines for the treatment of chronic diseases that requires regular dosages. Some of them store medicinal drugs at home that can attract the attention of young children living in their homes; these drugs are usually colorful and small in size and the children can easily insert them into their mouths.

According to Research from the European Child Safety Alliance, every year, 3,000 children under the age of 14 die from acute poisoning in the European Union. However, many countries have imposed stringent regulations to control acute poisoning. For instance, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission imposed the Poison Prevention Packaging Act in 1970. This law is focused on reducing unintentional poisoning caused by medications and common household products. The law requires that prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, hazardous materials, and other household products be packaged with child resistant packaging. Such stringent laws and regulations are urging manufacturers to use child resistant closures to protect children from accidental drug poisoning, thereby driving the child resistant closures market growth.

In 2021, Asia Pacific held the largest revenue share of the global child resistant closures market, while North America is expected to account for the highest growth rate over the forecast period. North America is one of the prominent markets for child resistant closures due to the growth of the end-use industries across the region. The increasing emphasis on child health and wellbeing and the willingness of customers in the region to pay more for high-end products will help increase market share in the region. This region is showing more concern for child safety and adopting advanced child resistance packaging solutions to combat massive incidences of child poisoning, propelling the market's growth. Moreover, introducing new types of beverages in the region is expected to increase the demand for its packaging products in the coming years. For instance, in April 2021, a joint venture between Molson Coors Beverage Company and HEXO Corp., named Truss CBD USA, introduced 5 types of CBD beverages in Canada. Two of these beverages, including ‘The House of Terpenes Valencene & Sparkling Tonic’ and ‘Mollo 5 Lime’, use glass bottle packaging with child-resistant crown closures, while the other three products are packaged in metal cans.

Such product development by manufacturers within the end-use industries is propelling the demand for child resistant closures in North America.
