Market Dynamics

Drivers

The need for blister packaging in the pharmaceutical business has increased as a result of the rising requirement for practical and tamper-proof packaging. Additionally, factors such as increasing OTC medicine sales, increased demand for unit dose packaging, and monitored dosage systems for enhancing patient compliance are fueling market expansion. 

Additionally, manufacturers may now include radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags in blister packets to streamline supply-chain management thanks to technology improvements in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Other market-driving drivers include the increased incidence of lifestyle illnesses, the aging of the population, strict regulatory requirements, and rising demand for generic medications.

Restraints

Blister packaging is designed to increase the product's shelf life; nevertheless, it is not the best option for safeguarding heavier objects and is typically used to package lightweight things. Heavy items will place too much stress on the plastic film or paperboard that supports them during packing. When handling, storing, and shipping the goods, this may lead to package breaking, which will raise the cost and cause the product to be lost. 

Blister packing is thus not utilized for such items. For pricey and delicate items, this sort of packing is also not recommended since improper blister wrapping might cause the product to crack or be damaged, costing the maker money.

Opportunities

Healthcare is where blister packing is most frequently utilized. The healthcare packaging market accounts for over 71% of the demand for blister packaging. Due to the rise in demand for pharmaceutical and medical items during this pandemic, there is a greater need for blister packaging. International regulatory bodies like the FDA have authorized certain medications for use as a temporary treatment for COVID-19. 

The need for medical equipment has expanded as more hospitals and COVID-19 centers have been up throughout the globe. The rise in demand for blister packing has been linked to several causes. Food products, consumer products, and industrial goods all employ blister packing. In contrast to a strong growth in food items, the demand for this packaging in industrial and consumer goods has decreased.

Challenges

The blister packaging market may be challenged by strict rules put on it, particularly in the healthcare sector. Regulation adherence is essential since even the tiniest packing flaw might render a product useless. Additionally, it will hurt the manufacturer's bottom line. 

The proprietary and established name, strength, expiration date, bar code, and manufacturer name must be displayed above each blister cell, in accordance with the FDA. The expansion of the blister packaging industry is hampered by the time, money, resources, and effort required to comply with such laws.
