MEA Blister Packaging Market Analysis

The MEA Blister Packaging Market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period.

  • Blister pack is a term for several types of pre-formed plastic packaging used for small consumer goods, foods, and pharmaceuticals. These packaging solutions are useful for protecting products against external factors, such as humidity and contamination, for extended periods of time. Opaque blisters also protect light-sensitive products against UV rays. Such a wide base of applications has helped it gain traction in the market.
  • Increasing pressure on pharmaceutical companies to manufacture medicines that are distinct in packaging and hard to imitate, beyond the basic need of keeping it effective for the purpose it was produced, for it to be made available for patients, owing to rise in diseases and stringent government regulations against counterfeit drugs, are among the major factors propelling the market. Blister packaging offers an efficient method of anti-counterfeit systems, like banknote authentication systems and others.
  • The rising need for a level of product safety from manufacturers, consumers, and regulatory organizations makes blister packaging an increasingly practical option. Factors like product integrity and extended shelf life are highly necessary for the pharmaceutical sector, considering that most consumers store their drugs in a temperature variant atmosphere that can be harmful to unprotected medicines.
  • The growing need for compliance with safety regulations, coupled with increased demand for convenient and easy-to-use packaging products, is also expected to drive the growth of the market studied and result in the market vendors partnering with technology companies to introduce those features and widen their product differentiation advantages for bulk purchasers.
  • Moreover, the region is witnessing traction for eco-friendly blister packaging. For example, Sonoco offers EnviroSense, a paper blister for retail packaging, and is designed as an alternative to plastic blister packages. Additionally, with this, the comany has aimed to reduce the use of plastic by the end of 2025
