Global Blister Packaging Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Process (Thermoforming Blister Pack and Cold Forming Blister Pack), By Application (Consumer Goods, Pharmaceutical, Food, and Others) Forecast, 2020-2026
    Update Available - Forecast 2024-2030   

Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2022937 | Category : Packaging | Delivery Format: /

The global blister packaging market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period. The market growth is attributed to the increasing demand from the healthcare industry owing to the rising incidences of chronic diseases coupled with the increasing geriatric population pool. Patient safety is always at the top priority along with the quality of the product. Therefore, sensitive products should be reliably protected from external influences such as humidity, oxygen, and/or light. The increasing incidences of chronic diseases significantly increase the demand for medicines and tablets and in order to protect these from external impacts, the demand for blister packs in the industry increases.

According to the International Diabetes Federation, in 2019, around 463 million adults (20-79 years) were living with diabetes. This number by 2045 is projected to rise to 700 million. The proportion of people with type 2 diabetes is increasing in most countries. 79% of adults with diabetes were living in low- and middle-income countries. The changing lifestyle of the people increases the risk of diabetes and with the growing number of diabetes cases, the demand for diabetes drugs will increase, which in turn, will create demand for blister packs.

Segmental Outlook

The global blister packaging market is segmented on the basis of process and application. Based on the process, the market is bifurcated into thermoforming blister pack and cold forming blister pack. Among these, the thermoforming blister packs segment is estimated to hold a prominent share in the market and is estimated to follow this trend during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to the fact that it can print images that are superior in quality and can withstand various climatic conditions. In addition, cold forming technology is a more complex process as compared to thermoforming.
