Blister Packaging Market was valued at USD 13,484.4 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at 11.4% CAGR from 2024 to 2030. Blister packaging is a type of plastic packaging that is made by heating a sheet of plastic and moulding it into shape to form a bubble or pocket which is called a ‘blister’. Increasing focus on reducing the size of packaging along with growing demand for attractive and convenient packaging solutions are expected to drive the growth of the blister packaging market over the forecast years. In addition, the increasing focus of manufacturers in providing innovative packaging solutions along with the growing adoption of robotic blister packaging machinery are expected to boost the growth of the blister packaging market at a significant rate over the forecast period.

Furthermore, increasing environmental consciousness and growing adoption of eco-friendly materials in the packaging industry is expected to further drive market growth, and blister packaging made from biodegradable and compostable materials like PLA PVC-free materials can be recycled and are more environmentally friendly than traditional packaging. For instance, according to the Sustainable Packaging Report 2022, 86% of consumers surveyed from 1,113 US consumers are likely to buy a product from a retailer or brand if the packaging is considered sustainable. However, the high cost associated with the packaging process and strict regulatory policies regarding packaging materials like the use of PVC are banned in some industries due to environmental and health concerns are expected to hinder the growth of the blister packaging market over the forecast year. Moreover, factors like the introduction of new packaging material and technologies, the use of blister packaging in the e-commerce industry, and the growing pharmaceutical and medical devices industries are anticipated to open a significant opportunity to the market players in the growth of the blister packaging market over the forecast years.
