The demand for blister packaging is set to reach 5.18 thousand tonnes in 2021, according to a new study by ESOMAR-certified market research and consulting firm, Future Market Insights. Higher preference for blister packaging over carton boxes in pharmaceutical industry continues to fuel demand primarily. Blister packaging sales are also complemented by growing demand from food, consumer goods, and veterinary industries.
While the steady growth of pharmaceutical industry is pushing the demand-supply curve upward, various guidelines for pharmaceutical packaging are further catalyzing the growth of blister packaging manufacturers. For instance, as per the FDA guidelines, pharmaceutical packaging must have features that prevent mix-ups and cross-contamination, specify procedures for examining packaging for suitability before packaging operations. Blister packaging fulfils all these criteria and hence it has high demand in the pharmaceutical sector.
