Blister Packaging Market Segment Insights
Coldforming segment to hold a significant market share
Based on process, the market is divided into thermoforming and coldforming. The thermoforming segment is anticipated to hold a key share of the market in the coming years, as it requires low initial tools and equipment costs. However, the coldforming segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to use of aluminum offers a nearly complete barrier for moisture, light and oxygen, allowing an extended product expiration date.

Aluminum segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace
On the basis of materials, the market is divided into plastic films, paper and paperboards, aluminum, and others. The plastic films segment is expected to represent a major share of the market in the coming years due to its excellent visibility to the product and secure & attractive packaging. On the other hand, the aluminum segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to its suitability for medicines that are ultraviolet light sensitive, with strong hygroscopicity, or requires heat and cold resistance.
Pharmaceuticals segment is anticipated to hold a large market share
Based on end-users, the market is bifurcated into consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, industrials, and others. The consumer goods segment is anticipated to hold a key share of the market in the coming years, as it offers clean area for instructions & mandatory information and wider range of colors and designs for enhanced retail value. However, the pharmaceuticals segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to good quality sealing and easy to test for leaks, cost effective, and easier to produce in high volume.
North America is estimated to account a major market share
In terms of regions, the market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the projected period due to increase in income and purchasing power of people. However, the market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to rising demand for using over the counter process.
