North America Blister Packaging Market Analysis

The North America Blister Packaging Market is expected to register a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period.

  • Blister packaging is witnessing moderate growth in the North American region. The high safety offered by blister packaging solutions is augmenting the demand for these solutions. The strict regulations and demand from manufacturers and consumers alike have led to growth in the usage of blister packages. Growth in over-the-counter drugs has also provided an impetus to the market.
  • Growing pressure on pharmaceutical companies to manufacture medicines that are different in packaging and hard to imitate, surpassing the basic need of keeping it useful for the purpose it was produced, for it to be made available for patients, due to growth in diseases and stringent government regulations against counterfeit drugs, are among the significant factors propelling the market. Blister packaging provides an efficient method of anti-counterfeit systems, like banknote authentication systems and others.
  • The use of innovative technologies in blisters, such as RFID (radio frequency identification tags), deployed with a seal applied outside the packaging, is increasing due to the potential to offer individual security throughout supply chains. Contamination of samples in blisters only occurs when the protective barrier is broken, when a single capsule or tablet is dispensed or administered.
  • Vendors are also focusing on environmentally friendly blister packaging solutions and are introducing paper-based blister packaging. For instance, in July 2021, Hutamaki Oyj launched Push Tab, a paper-based blister solution for the healthcare industry. The product is certified by FSC and is designed to meet stringent safety requirements of regulated pharmaceutical packaging.

North America Blister Packaging Industry Overview

The North America Blister Packaging Market is moderately fragmented. Partnership, mergers, and acquisitions have been a significant strategy for the vendors in the market for producing products that are acceptable in the end-user industry, where packaging materials undergo stringent quality tests not to contaminate the contents impact health.

Some of the major players in the market are Amcor Ltd, Westrock Company, Sonoco Products Company, Constantia Flexibles GmbH, Honeywell International Inc., among others.

  • April 2021 - Amcor announced customer trials for recyclable Polyethylene-based thermoform blister packaging. The new packaging is designed to meet the stringent requirements of highly specialized and regulated pharmaceutical packaging and creates a more sustainable alternative for the most in-demand healthcare packaging type. This innovation also benefits from up to 70% reduction in its carbon footprint when compared to packaging alternatives on the market.
  • July 2021 - Huthamaki launched Push Tab paper-based blister solution for the healthcare industry. The paper used by the comany is FSC certified and acts as an alternative to traditional push-through packaging made of thermoformed PVC and aluminum, thus reducing the environmental impact across the value chain.
