Healthcare Blister Packaging Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (Carded, Clamshell), By Technology (Thermoforming, Cold Forming), By Material (Aluminum, Plastic Films), By Application, And Segment Forecasts, 2024 - 2030
The global healthcare blister packaging market size is expected to reach USD 32.46 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.8% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The primary growth-driving factor is the emphasis on patient safety. Blister packaging provides a secure and tamper-evident solution for pharmaceutical products, such as tablets, capsules, and pills, ensuring that the contents remain intact and protected from any outside contamination. This is particularly crucial for medications sensitive to moisture, light, or air. Hence, it provides a barrier between the product and the environment, helping in maintaining the potency and efficacy of the medication, and ultimately safeguarding the patient's well-being.
The individual compartments or cavities in blister packs allow for easy organization and identification of medications. This feature is especially beneficial for patients who take multiple medications, as it reduces the risk of confusion or medication errors. In addition, blister packaging often includes features, such as perforations or easy-to-open tabs, making it convenient for patients of all ages and physical abilities to access their medications without hassle and confusion. Cost-effectiveness is also a significant driving factor for the market. Blister packaging is typically made from cost-efficient materials, such as plastic or aluminum, readily available and relatively inexpensive. Moreover, it allows efficient use of space during transportation and storage, maximizing the number of products that can be packaged, and reducing overall packaging costs.
This makes blister packaging an attractive option for pharmaceutical companies looking to optimize their supply chain and reduce expenses without compromising product quality or safety. In addition, the rise and prevalence of chronic diseases, such as arthritis, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and Crohn's disease, and the rising aging population play key roles in driving the market growth. Blister packaging provides an effective solution for medication adherence, ensuring that patients receive the correct dosage at the appropriate time. This is particularly crucial for elderly patients who may face challenges in managing their medications independently. Hence, the increasing number of patients requiring long-term medication leads to a rise in demand for reliable and secure packaging solutions. This outlook is expected to drive industry growth.
The Asia Pacific regional market was estimated at USD 19.38 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2024 to 2030
The aluminum material segment accounted for a revenue share of over 48.4% in 2023 due to high demand on account of its properties, such as recyclability, high UV resistance, and effective barrier against oxygen & moisture
The thermoforming technology segment is anticipated to experience rapid growth on account of its faster production speeds and lower manufacturing costs compared to other technologies, including cold-forming
The carded type segment is projected to grow significantly during the forecast period due to the high preference for unit doses and small-size packs in the healthcare sector
The tablet application segment dominated the market with a revenue share of over 59.2% in 2023. Tablets packed in blister packaging are shielded from environmental factors, such as light, moisture, and oxygen. This protection extends the shelf life of tablets, maintaining their efficacy and reducing the chances of deterioration
