Global Cold Form Blister Packaging Market to Reach $1.2 Billion by 2026

Cold form blister packaging displays enhanced delamination resistance as well as offers optimal protection to extend shelf-life of products. The packaging provides an effective barrier to light, moisture, gases and oxygen to keep the product intact. Growth in the global market continues to witness steady growth backed by rising demand from the healthcare sector, production innovations and supportive regulations. Popular as cold form foil blisters across end-use industries, mainly in the healthcare sector, the packaging is produced by sandwiching aluminum-based laminate films or foils between nylon and polyvinyl films by employing the dry bond lamination technique. Cold form foils are widely employed in healthcare owing to high-efficiency rate and extended shelf life attributes. In recent years research focused on new raw material sources with improved quality has resulted in development of advanced cold form sealing packages. The market expansion is also facilitated by stringent regulations implemented by major healthcare organizations and leading regulatory agencies. Focusing on product labeling and sealing along with sustainability efforts, these guidelines have paved way for broader acceptance of cold form blister packaging.

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for Cold Form Blister Packaging estimated at US$986.6 Million in the year 2022, is projected to reach a revised size of US$1.2 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% over the analysis period.
