Moreover, substantial funding in healthcare for improved healthcare diagnostics and overall standards, including medicine, has called for more advancements regarding medicine packages. Besides, the growing consumption of drugs worldwide, led by easy access, has again necessitated blister packaging solutions in medicine. It can be attributed to the expanding e-commerce platforms that encourage easy drug access and ensure safe logistics. In addition, leading market players are undergoing self-assessment to develop a robust triple-bottom-line approach for gaining higher profits, streamlining the distribution network, and creating a sustainable product portfolio.

Another prominent factor propelling the market growth is the large influx of investment by the key players in blister packaging based on biodegradable material. However, because of the stringent safety environment laws, sustainable packaging might be challenging for the pharmaceutical industry. Governments worldwide are promoting eco-friendly products while encouraging market players to cut down the non-biodegradable plastics and other environmentally-hazardous materials. This factor is likely to impact the film materials and thermoform options utilized in the pharmaceutical blister packaging. For instance,

  • In June 2022, the public information bureau (PIB) requested the states to ban Single-Use Plastics (SUP) under the "Clean and Green" campaign launched by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, India. Mid-2022 was the target date for eliminating manufacturing products containing SUPs.

Key Trends in the Market

  • The Advent of Cost Effective and Eco-Friendly Blister Packages

Citing the hazardous impact of single-use plastics and materials like PVC, PVDC, foil, etc., on the environment, manufacturers are adopting eco-friendly raw materials for blister packages, making a substantial shift towards sustainability. For instance, Bilcare Research Inc., a blister packaging manufacturer, launched ECOmply, which blends PVC film with a special additive to make it biodegradable. In fact, companies are willing to procure eco-friendly blister packaging machines suitable for packaging products from low to high volume production potential. Along similar lines, the leading players are relentlessly investing in R&D activities to develop eco-friendly and cost-effective pharma blister packaging that can withstand mechanical, thermal, and biological stress during the blister-forming process.
