Blister packs are versatile plastic packaging solutions utilized across various sectors, including consumer goods, food, and pharmaceuticals. These packs safeguard products from external threats like humidity and contamination, extending their shelf life. 

  • Blister packaging involves placing products in pre-formed blisters or cavities secured with cards or pads. This packaging method is prevalent in sectors like pharmaceuticals and industrial goods. The pharmaceutical sector dominates the blister packaging market, leveraging benefits such as enhanced product protection, streamlined distribution, unit dosage packaging, and clear product identification.
  • Saudi Arabia's GDP sees a significant boost from its pharmaceutical packaging industry, which is thriving domestically and engaging in trade with various global economies. With biotech and price-sensitive drugs gaining prominence, the healthcare industry has tightened regulations on drug delivery products. 
  • The growing senior population, projected to rise further during the forecast period, is fueling a heightened demand for pharmaceuticals and driving market growth. The increasing prevalence of chronic ailments, including cancer and infectious diseases, coupled with the ageing demographic's need for advanced, user-friendly packaging, is set to bolster the blister packaging market. 
  • According to Age International, Sub-Saharan Africa is set to witness the fastest growth of its older population this century, outpacing any other global region. Projections indicate that by 2100, the continent will experience a staggering 15-fold increase in its older adult demographic. Blister packaging, known for its convenience, is particularly beneficial for solid oral medications. This advantage is pronounced for elderly patients who frequently struggle with conventional medicine bottles.
  • Due to the expanding and diverse environmental packaging regulations, brand owners need help maintaining consistent product designs. Additionally, accepting blister packs as alternative pharmaceutical packaging differs from country to country, complicating manufacturers' matters. Blister packs, often crafted from non-biodegradable plastics, pose environmental risks when disposed of improperly.
