Global Blister Packaging Sales Outlook

2020 to 2024 Global Blister Packaging Sales Outlook Compared to Demand Forecast from 2025 to 2035

The global blister packaging industry recorded a CAGR of 2.3% during the historical period between 2020 and 2024. The growth of the blister packaging industry share was positive as it reached a value of USD 28.6 billion in 2024 from USD 26.2 billion in 2020.

Blister packaging is believed to expand steadily across the globe because of its rising demand in different kinds of end-use segments, such as pharmaceutical and food packaging. In the last few years, the pharmaceutical market has witnessed an enormous trend toward blister packaging because it can provide secure, tamper-evident, and single-dose solutions.

This growth is also supplemented by growing consumer need awareness for safety and security when it comes to the consumption of medications and a growing need for the right dosing packaging. Even in more conservative regulatory regions, this also extends to the food sector, as blister packaging has proven very popular for convenient products like on-the-go snacks and portion-controlled meals.

Further fueled by an ever-growing interest in e-commerce as well as buying groceries online, further demand continues for secure shelf-stable as well as convenient transport packaging. As such, this contributes towards expansion.

Future demand for the blister packaging market would be changed by environmental-friendly material and sustainability, a significant issue in the future. Strict rules of the environment will require people to demand more recycling, biodegradable, and minimalistic options for packaging. The healthcare sector will continue to require patient-safe packaging, but that would incrementally be made from more sustainable materials and less plastic.

Food packaging, too, will increasingly be about green options, both from consumers' and brands' perspectives. Both innovation in materials science and that of packaging will lead to fulfillment of both these sustainable requirements as well as those the customers want while presenting an increasingly multifaceted marketplace within the future few years.
