Market Share of Pharmaceutical Blister Packaging Industry
The pharmaceutical blister packaging market is fragmented with the presence of Amcor PLC, Constantia Flexibles, and WestRock Company. The market comprises major and local players supplying raw materials and packaging services. The latest developments in packaging and film materials are shaping the market.
- January 2024: TekniPlex Healthcare, headquartered in Wayne, Pennsylvania, partnered with Alpek Polyester to introduce a pharmaceutical-grade polyethylene terephthalate (PET) blister film. This innovative film incorporates 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) monomers. According to the company, when this blister film is paired with its Teknilid Push polyester lidding, the resulting film-plus-lidding blister system can be fully recycled within the polyester recycling stream, provided the necessary infrastructure is in place.
- July 2023: Constantia Flexibles revealed REGULA CIRC, its 'total barrier,' designed-for-recycling cold-form foil solution for sustainable pharmaceutical blister packaging applications. A polyethylene sealing layer is set to replace traditional PVC solutions; a transition is seeking to simplify the sorting process, improve the pack's recyclability, and, in turn, improve material recovery.
