The polymers category is anticipated to contribute 28.1% of the welded blisters market revenue in 2025 within the raw material type segment. This leading share is attributed to the superior flexibility, clarity, and sealing compatibility offered by polymers, particularly in applications requiring visibility and product protection.
Polymers support diverse welding techniques while maintaining structural rigidity and lightweight performance. Their wide adaptability across sectors such as medical, food, and consumer electronics has made them the preferred choice for blister manufacturing.
Additionally, the availability of recyclable and food-safe grades is aligning polymer use with sustainability goals. Manufacturers are also leveraging material innovations to enhance barrier properties, reduce form thickness, and enable better weldability, further consolidating the polymer segment's position in the market.
The heat-based blister technique is expected to dominate with a 46.2% share of total market revenue in 2025. Its prominence stems from its reliability, cost efficiency, and widespread integration in automated packaging lines.
The ability to produce strong and consistent seals through controlled thermal energy has made heat sealing the standard method for blister packaging across mass production settings. It supports high-speed throughput with minimal tool wear and is compatible with a wide range of thermoplastics and laminate structures.
The method’s proven effectiveness in producing tamper-resistant packaging without compromising visibility or shape has driven its adoption in regulated sectors such as pharmaceuticals and consumer healthcare. Continuous upgrades in temperature control systems and pressure distribution have further enhanced seal integrity, reinforcing its dominant share within blister welding techniques.
High frequency welded blisters are projected to account for 29.5% of revenue in 2025 under the product type segment. This leadership is supported by the precision, aesthetics, and strength achieved through radio frequency welding, particularly in packaging formats requiring clear sealing around contoured or irregular shapes.
The technology enables tight, uniform welds that maintain visual clarity and reduce seal failure, which is especially valued in medical device packaging and high-end consumer goods. Its ability to seal thicker materials and multi-layered films has extended its application scope.
Moreover, high frequency welding offers a clean sealing process without adhesives, aligning with safety and hygiene protocols. Continued investment in energy-efficient RF generators and automation-friendly welding units is supporting further growth of this product category in the welded blisters market.
Welded blisters market has emerged as a dynamic development in the packaging market due to the light sensitive nature of welded blisters. Welded blisters protect products from UV rays while providing a longer shelf life to products across various industries. These tamper resistant and durable blisters are contributing to the promotion of welded blister market.
Welded blisters provide compact and precise packaging to maintain product quality by efficiently using the space. Manufacturers of welded blisters have to ensure that the best quality raw material are used for the blister formation, so as to have the transparent exposure of the product. The welded blisters are two thermoformed valves sealed together by a welding machine.
Blister halves are transparent in nature and designed around the product aiding to the complete exposure of the product. This allows brands to publicize the product to the customers by inserting a small piece of cardboard between the two welded blister halves which permits advertising of the product.
The quality of welded blisters in protecting expensive consumer protection against theft and shoplifting is contributing to the growth of the welded blisters market. Another factor promoting the growth of welded blister market is that more than a single product can be packed together allowing large distribution of the product.
Welded blisters are preferred by brands in order to publicize, promote and exhibit the product. The design and technology of welded blisters to use the space around the product through thermoformed blisters protects the integrity of the product. Welded blisters offer protection against moisture and pollution for a longer period of time, which allows the product to have a longer shelf life.
However, the primary factor hindering the growth of welded blisters market is the requirement of a special sealing process for welding the two halves of the blister. Welded blisters market is also facing a barrier due to the fact that the welded blisters can only be cut open with the help of a knife or scissors.
The use of tailor made polyvinyl chloride (PVC) thermoforming in various colored blisters is observed to be an emerging trend in the welded blisters market. Players in the welded blisters market are improving their product offering by adopting to new cold blister technique for creating steeper blister angles using lesser raw material.
Geographically, the welded blisters market can be segmented into five key regions including North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and Middle East and Africa (MEA). North America and Asia-Pacific are the fastest growing manufacturer of the welded blisters market and is anticipated to grow at the same rate. Therefore, due to the new market emergence and the growth in the pharmaceutical sector over the past decade, the welded blisters market in Asia and Europe is also expected to grow at a healthy rate over the forecast period of 2020-2035.
Some of the key players of the welded blisters market are Dispak Industries, BDN Packaging Ltd, Ellepack, PeckpakGDK, Goel Plastic India and Lovell Industries.
