Rising demand from the food industry is expected to drive growth in the blister packaging machinery consumption market in the coming years. The food industry is a complex, global network of businesses that supply food from production to distribution, encompassing everything from farming to packaged goods. Blister packaging is commonly used for snacks, confectionery, ready-to-eat meals, and dairy products. For example, in October 2023, the United States Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service reported that average per-person spending on food away from home increased to US$4,485, up from US$4,004 in 2022, contributing to record overall food spending of US$2.57 trillion. Therefore, the growing demand from the food industry is propelling the blister packaging machinery consumption market.

Key companies in the blister packaging machinery consumption market are focusing on innovative solutions, such as the Unity 600 blister packaging line, to increase market revenues. The Unity 600 features a newly designed stack transfer unit that ensures stable and product-friendly processes by stacking blisters from below and guiding them securely from all sides. For instance, in January 2023, Romaco, a Germany-based provider of processing and packaging equipment for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, cosmetic, and chemical industries, launched the Unity 600 blister packaging line. Designed with the principle “avoidance is better than reduction, reduction is better than compensation,” the Unity 600 aims to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the blister packaging line during both production and use.
