Production volume mapping and unit economics analysis were employed to determine global market valuation. The methodology comprised the following:
• Identification of over 60 significant manufacturers and converters in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, including independent thermoforming specialists and integrated film producers
• Product segmentation across thermoformed carded containers, clamshell packaging, cold-form foil (CFF) alu-alu systems, and high-barrier peelable solutions
• Material-wise mapping of aluminum foil substrates, cyclic olefin polymers (COP), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), PVDC-coated films, and emerging bio-based alternatives
• Examination of annual revenues that are specific to blister packaging portfolios, excluding secondary/tertiary packaging revenues, as reported and modeled
• Accounting for fragmented regional participants in emerging markets, the coverage of manufacturers represents 65-70% of the global market share in 2024.
• Extrapolation through bottom-up (production volume × average selling price by material gauge and application) and top-down (manufacturer revenue substantiation against
pharmaceutical unit dose dispensing data) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations for pharmaceutical, food, consumer goods, and industrial applications
