U.S. Blister Packaging Market
Description
U.S. Blister Packaging Market size was valued at USD 8,715.60 million in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 9,221.21 million in 2024 to USD 14,476.66 million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period (2024–2032).
The U.S. blister packaging market is experiencing steady growth, fueled by the rising demand for secure, tamper-evident, and cost-effective packaging across healthcare, consumer goods, and other industries. Blister packaging’s ability to combine product protection with consumer visibility makes it a preferred choice for pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, electronics, hardware, and retail consumer goods. Key drivers include increasing pharmaceutical production, expansion of the OTC medication market, regulatory mandates like the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), and consumer preference for single-dose and unit-of-use formats that enhance safety and dosing accuracy.
Within the market, carded blister packaging dominates, holding the largest type share due to its versatility, space for branding, and suitability for a range of consumer products. Thermoforming technology leads over cold forming due to cost efficiency, design flexibility, and its wide use in both pharmaceutical and consumer sectors. Plastic films remain the leading material segment thanks to their clarity, durability, and barrier properties, although sustainable paper-based and mono-material solutions are gaining traction. Healthcare is the dominant end-use sector, driven by the aging population, chronic disease management needs, and strict compliance requirements.
Emerging trends include adoption of eco-friendly materials, electronic blister packs with IoT/RFID capabilities, desiccant-integrated designs, and advanced anti-counterfeit features. Sustainability efforts are accelerating via recyclable/biodegradable innovations like Amcor’s AmSky and Huhtamaki’s Push Tab® paper.
The market is moderately consolidated, with major players like Amcor Plc, WestRock Company, Sonoco Products Company, Huhtamaki, and Constantia Flexibles leading through product innovation, strategic partnerships, and investments in sustainable technology. Competition from alternative formats such as pouches and vials exists, but blister packaging retains an edge in safety, shelf appeal, and compliance.
