North America Blister Packaging Industry Overview
The North America Blister Packaging Market is moderately fragmented. Partnership, mergers, and acquisitions have been a significant strategy for the vendors in the market for producing products that are acceptable in the end-user industry, where packaging materials undergo stringent quality tests not to contaminate the contents impact health. Maintaining a continuous flow of raw materials remain a challenge that prompts partnerships. Some of the major players in the market are Amcor Ltd, Westrock Company, Sonoco Products Company, Constantia Flexibles GmbH, Honeywell International Inc., among others.
- April 2021 - Amcor announced customer trials for recyclable Polyethylene-based thermoform blister packaging. The new packaging is designed to meet the stringent requirements of highly specialized and regulated pharmaceutical packaging and creates a more sustainable alternative for the most in-demand healthcare packaging type. This innovation also benefits from up to 70% reduction in its carbon footprint when compared to packaging alternatives on the market.
- July 2021 - Huthamaki launched Push Tab paper-based blister solution for the healthcare industry. The paper used by the comany is FSC certified and acts as an alternative to traditional push-through packaging made of thermoformed PVC and aluminum, thus reducing the environmental impact across the value chain.
