세계의 어린이 보호 포장 재료 시장 : 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석, 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Child-Resistant Packaging Materials Market was valued at USD 25.3 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% to reach USD 46.3 billion by 2034. This niche sector addresses the critical design of packaging systems that prevent young children-especially those under five-from accessing hazardous products, while still allowing safe adult access, including seniors. CRP products commonly include push-and-turn caps, blister packs, locking zippers, and multi-layer pouches, all engineered to meet stringent requirements outlined in legislation such as the Poison Prevention Packaging Act enforced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. With widespread use in prescription and over-the-counter medications, household chemicals, and cannabis-derived products, CRP materials are central to minimizing accidental poisonings without compromising usability for adults.

The rise of e-commerce and at home delivery for pharmaceuticals, supplements, and cannabis-related goods has boosted the demand for child-resistant features that are also tamper-evident and secure during transit. At the same time, sustainability concerns are pushing packaging providers toward recyclable or biodegradable child-resistant materials, encouraging innovation and expanding design possibilities. As environmental regulations tighten and consumer demand for eco-friendly solutions grows, manufacturers are actively exploring alternative substrates like bio-based plastics, paper-based laminates, and compostable films that meet both safety and sustainability criteria. This shift is driving the development of hybrid material structures that offer the same level of child resistance while reducing the carbon footprint.

The plastic-based materials segment held 46.09% share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a 4.5% CAGR through 2034. Thermoplastics such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and PET dominate due to their ability to be molded into robust, lightweight formats-like push-and-turn caps, closures, blister trays, and resealable pouches-that meet functional safety standards in medical, nutraceutical, and consumer applications.

In terms of applications, the pharmaceutical and healthcare segment held a 41.4% share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% through 2034. This dominance is driven by strict regulatory regimes-such as those enforced by the U.S. FDA and European EMA-that mandate CRP compliance for prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and dietary supplements to minimize risk to children.

North America Child-Resistant Packaging Materials Market generated USD-7.3-billion in 2024. Growth in the U.S. market is propelled by regulatory requirements across the legal cannabis sector, mandating certified CRP for all cannabis-derived items, including edibles, tinctures, oils, and concentrates. Customizable CRP solutions meet adult-use cannabis packaging laws across major states. The rise of online pharmacies and direct-to-consumer cannabis sales has also created opportunities for tamper-evident child-resistant pouch development.

Top companies shaping this Global Child-Resistant Packaging Materials Market include Gerresheimer AG, WestRock Company, Amcor plc, Berry Global Inc., and AptarGroup, Inc. Leading firms are investing in R&D to design innovative CRP materials that balance safety with environmental sustainability, including biodegradable polymers and recyclable formats. They pursue certification and compliance with global regulatory standards-such as ASTM, CPSC, and EU directives-to support product acceptance across international markets. Partnerships with pharmaceutical manufacturers, cannabis brands, and e-commerce platforms enable tailored CRP solutions for specific end-use cases. Companies are also scaling manufacturing capabilities and expanding regional distribution networks, particularly in markets with evolving cannabis and healthcare regulations.
