The 7^thedition of Pharmintech Exhibition is goingto take place in Milan from May 3 to 6, 2022 in conjunction with IPACK-IMA, the most important international trade fair in 2022 for processing and packaging solutions.

The two events will combine into a unique exhibition moment, the expression of a synergy specifically built on the demand for processing and packaging technologies.

In 2022, Milan will become the meeting point for the world’s most important players in the Lifescience industries: from pharmaceuticals to parapharmaceuticals, from nutraceuticals to cosmeceuticals, from medical devices to biotechnologies. The 7^thedition of Pharmintech, sponsored by AFI – Association of the Pharmaceutical Industry, represents the synthesis of a market with extraordinary performances. In fact, at global level, the pharmaceutical market alone is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 6.1% by 2024, with a value of € 1,100 billion in 2020. Looking at Europe in particular, the growth expected overthe same period is a significant 5.4% average per year, within which the contribution of Italian manufacturing is significant with +3.4% (source: Ipack Ima Business Monitor in collaboration with MECS).

In this context of growth, the exhibition layout has been designed to amplify business opportunities to the benefit of the three communities Pharma & Nutritional, Beauty & Personal Care and Chemicals & Home Carewhichwill be located in Pavilion 2, with the aim of enhancing Pharmintech’s identity within IPACK-IMA as well as amplifying the synergies between exhibition sectors that represent the show’s competitive advantage. Specialization and cross-contamination are at the core of PHARMINTECH’s development strategy, which by 2022 will be “powered by Ipack Ima” thanks to the agreement signed by Ipack Ima Srl andPharmintech Srl, a Bologna Fiere Group company.

An agreement that sees and foresees the needs of anindustry producing packaging technologies and solutions for the chemical-pharmaceutical sector, which develops a market worth € 8.8 billion globally in 2020 and is expected to grow by an average of 2.6% per year by 2024. This positive trend is driving exports of Italian packaging machinery manufacturers, up by an average of 4.4% per year. Beauty, Personal & Home Care also see a growing trend that projects an average annual increase of 4.9% by 2024. Specifically, for machinery for the cosmetics sector, whose global market totalled€ 2,4 billion in 2020, the expected growth is 1.9% on average per year with an interesting growth expectation for the market share of Italian manufacturers.(source: UCIMA).
