United States Blister Packaging Market Analysis

The United States Blister Packaging Market size is estimated at USD 8.19 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 11.83 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.63% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Blister packs are pre-formed plastic packaging for various consumer goods, foods, and pharmaceuticals. These packaging solutions safeguard products from external factors like humidity and contamination, ensuring prolonged protection.

Blister packaging involves placing products in pre-formed blisters or cavities secured with cards or pads. This packaging method is widely used for various consumer goods, especially in the pharmaceutical and industrial industries. The pharmaceutical industry dominates the blister packaging market, holding a substantial share. Pharmaceutical companies prefer blister packaging because it offers enhanced product protection, streamlined distribution, unit dosage convenience, and clear product identification.

According to the United States Department of Commerce, the US population aged 85 and over is projected to triple by 2050. Clinicians and public health service providers cultivate a culture of compassion for this population and its subgroups. The prevalence of osteoarthritis and diabetes, as well as related mobility impairments, will continue to rise as people age and become more overweight. All such factors are anticipated to boost the demand for oral medication, thus propelling the demand for blister packaging in pharmaceuticals.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of people over 50 in the United States is expected to increase, reaching almost 61 million between 2020 and 2050. That means the number of people with one or more chronic diseases is expected to go up by nearly 99 million, from 71.5 million in 2020 to over 142 million in 2050.

As lifestyles evolve, consumers favor on-the-go packaging for food products, prioritizing convenience and ease of use. Confectionery and bakery manufacturers are increasingly using blister packaging to meet this demand. With the region experiencing a rise in retail sales of bakery goods, blister packaging is expected to see significant growth in the food industry.

Blister packaging raises significant environmental concerns. If not disposed of correctly, it poses risks to the environment. Additionally, specific packs that combine plastic and foil complicate the recycling process. Pharmaceutical blister packaging is one of the largest sources of solid waste. Recycling is difficult due to the complexity of these packages with multiple layers.

United States Blister Packaging Industry Overview

The blister packaging market in the United States is fragmented. Vendors in the market have been using significant partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions as major strategies to produce products that meet the needs of end users. Packaging materials undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure that they do not contaminate the contents or affect health. Maintaining a steady supply of raw materials is a significant challenge that drives partnerships. Major players in the US blister packaging market include Amcor Ltd, Westrock Company, Sonoco Products Company, Constantia Flexibles Group, and Honeywell International Inc.

September 2023: Sonoco, a global leader in packaging, finalized its acquisition of Graphic Packaging Corporation's flexible packaging division. Graphic Packaging is a wholly owned subsidiary of ACX Technologies Inc., based in Golden, Colorado. In an all-cash deal, Sonoco invested around USD 105 million. Sonoco's foothold in flexible packaging is recognized as the packaging industry's rapidly expanding segment.

July 2023: Constantia Flexibles introduced REGULA CIRC, its latest innovation in pharmaceutical packaging. This state-of-the-art coldform foil technology redefines sustainability standards in blister packaging, benefiting both consumers and the environment. With a commitment to circularity, REGULA CIRC is engineered to align with upcoming regulations, ensuring it meets the standard of sustainable packaging benchmarks. REGULA CIRC introduces significant design changes by replacing traditional PVC with a polyethylene (PE) sealing layer, embracing circular economy principles.
