Many pharmaceutical products are sensitive to moisture, the effects of which are manifold and often pose a high risk to both drugs and patients. In the case of tablets, powders and effervescent tablets, the properties and texture may change, whereas gel capsules might dissolve, and blood or urine test strips may produce false or misleading results. In the worst case, the efficacy of drugs is reduced, or the analytical results are falsified, which can lead to an incorrect medication and impede successful therapy. In addition, many pharmaceuticals, especially analgesics such as acetylsalicylic acid, release specific molecules into the ambient air inside the packaging that can develop very unpleasant odours. Depending on the area of application, different desiccants such as silica gel or molecular sieves can be used. Hygroscopic desiccants attract moisture and keep it away from the content.

The global pharmaceutical market is 1,475 billion USD in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 5% during the next six years. The pharmaceutical market includes chemical drugs and biological drugs. For biologics is expected to 381 billion USD in 2022. In comparison, the chemical drug market is estimated to increase from 1,005 billion in 2018 to 1,094 billion U.S. dollars in 2022. The pharmaceutical market factors such as increasing demand for healthcare, technological advancements, and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, increase in funding from private & government organizations for development of pharmaceutical manufacturing segments and rise in R&D activities for drugs. However, the industry also faces challenges such as stringent regulations, high costs of research and development, and patent expirations.
