Blister Packaging Market Size, Share, Forecast, & Trends Analysis by Product (Clamshell, Trapped) Material (PP, PE, PVC, PET, Paper, Aluminum) Technology (Thermoforming, Cold Forming) Application (Pharma, Medical Device, Food)-Global Forecast to 2031

The global blister packaging market is projected to reach $34.11 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2024 to 2031

Following extensive secondary and primary research and in-depth analysis of the blister packaging market scenario, the report comprises the analysis of key industry drivers, restraints, challenges, and opportunities. The growth of this market is driven by the growth of the pharmaceutical industry, environmental policies aimed at reducing packaging waste, increasing demand for OTC drugs, and the growing adoption of blister packaging for food, electronics, and consumer goods. However, the unsuitability of blister packaging for heavy items and the extended packaging processes involved restrain the market's growth.

Furthermore, the pharmaceutical industry's shift from bottle packaging to blister packaging, advancements in blister packaging technologies, and the rising number of clinical trials are expected to create market growth opportunities. However, evolving regulatory standards and environmental concerns regarding single-use packaging are challenges impacting the market's growth.

The report offers a competitive landscape based on an extensive assessment of the product portfolio offerings, geographic presences, and key strategic developments adopted by leading market players in the industry over four years (2020-2024). The key players operating in the global blister packaging market are Amcor plc (Switzerland), AptarGroup, Inc. (U.S.), Constantia Flexibles (Austria), UFLEX LIMITED (India), Honeywell International Inc. (U.S.), Sonoco Products Company (U.S.), Tekni-Plex, Inc. (U.S.), Ecobliss Pharmaceutical Packaging (Netherlands), Rohrer Corporation (U.S.), Schreiner MediPharm L.P. (Germany), Perlen Packaging (Switzerland), and Henkel AG & Co. KGaA (Germany).

Among the products covered in this report, the blister cards segment is projected to register a higher CAGR during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the benefits of blister card packaging, which include reducing the risk of damage, maintaining product integrity, and enabling customization to meet manufacturers' specifications. Furthermore, its high visibility enhances consumer appeal, particularly in the consumer goods and food industries, thereby boosting demand.

Among the materials covered in the report, in 2024, the polymer segment is expected to account for the largest share of 43% of the blister packaging market. The polymer segment is further sub-segmented into polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene, and other polymers. This segment's large market share can be attributed to can be attributed to the widespread availability of polymers, their cost-effectiveness, lightweight nature, and recyclability. Polymers offer excellent protection against moisture, gases, and chemicals, thereby preserving the potency and shelf life of pharmaceutical products, which drives the demand for polymers in blister packaging.

Among the technologies covered in the report, in 2024, the thermoforming blister packaging segment is expected to account for the largest share of 65% of the blister packaging market. This segment's large market share can be attributed to the benefits of thermoform blister packaging, including its strength, resilience, and tamper resistance. Thermoform technology is also well-suited for efficient mass production within shorter timeframes. It is recyclable, making it a preferred choice among key players aiming to fulfill their sustainability objectives in blister packaging manufacturing.

Among the applications covered in the report, in 2024, the pharmaceutical segment is expected to account for the largest share of 54% of the blister packaging market. The pharmaceutical segment is further segmented into tablets, capsules, and powders. This segment's large market share can be attributed to the high preference for oral solid drugs, the convenience provided by blister packaging, and the increasing demand for tamper-proof packaging.

An in-depth analysis of the geographical scenario of the global blister packaging market provides detailed qualitative and quantitative insights into five major geographies (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa) along with the coverage of major countries in each region.

In 2024, Europe is expected to account for the largest share of 37.2% of the blister packaging market. Europe's significant market share can be attributed to supportive government initiatives, the rising demand for cosmetics and personal care products, initiatives by companies to increase their manufacturing capacities, and growth in the food industry. For instance, the European food & beverage sector generated an annual turnover of USD 1.15 trillion (EUR 1.1 trillion) and added USD 242 billion (EUR 230 billion) in value in 2022, making it one of the largest manufacturing sectors in Europe.
