Deblistering Machine Market Overview
The Global Deblistering Machine Market is estimated to reach at a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period (2023-2030).
Deblistering Machines are the equipment that recovers the pharmaceuticals and other products from blister packaging. In the pharmaceutical industry, blister packaging is commonly used to pack capsules and tablets to protect them from external environmental factors and maintain their integrity. Removing these products from blister packaging is often challenging, especially on a large scale. Deblistering Machines are designed to carefully remove the products out of blister packaging without causing any damage or product loss. Deblistering Machines are available in pharmaceutical manufacturing units, pharmacies, hospitals, etc. In pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, these machines are placed at the blister packing unit, enabling manufacturers to recover the products from the faulty blister pack. This reduces the cost due to product loss. Deblistering Machines available in the market operate manually, semi-automatically, and automatically. Manual machines offer cost-effective solutions and are suitable for small-scale operations, whereas semi-automatic machines are faster than manual ones and are also affordable. Automatic machines are quick and can be utilized in the pharmaceutical industry with large production volumes.
Moreover, the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries generate a large amount of medical waste every year, which requires medical waste management system. For instance, as per Patient Safety and Quality Healthcare, US hospitals and nursing homes generate more than 84,000 tons of hazardous pharmaceutical waste. The waste includes a considerable amount of rejected blister packaging. Deblistering machines enable the easy removal of drugs from blister packages to be re-packaged into other blister packs by the manufacturer or pharmacy. Henceforth, the use of deblistering machines for managing waste and reducing costs is expected to increase its market over the forecast period.

Deblistering Machine Market Dynamics
Market Drivers:
❑ After the pharmaceutical production, tablets or capsules are packed in blister packaging, which is made of polymeric material. The process of packaging is automated and often the blister sheets may become faulty, or incorrectly labeled, or sealed poorly, etc.
❑ In such cases, to retrieve expensive pharmaceuticals, deblistering machines are often used. Globally, as the pharmaceutical production volumes are increasing, the demand for deblistering machines is also expected to increase.
❑ For instance, among the emerging markets, India is one of the top producers of pharmaceuticals. The Department of Pharmaceuticals in India, states that India ranks 3 rd in the world for global pharmaceutical production volume and 14th in the pharmaceutical values. In the future, the Indian pharmaceutical market is expected to grow extensively from current US$ 50 billion to US$ 130 billion by 2030. This huge growth is expected to be seen in production volumes as well.
❑ Moreover, a 2023 article by the World Economic Forum states that yearly billions of capsules are produced each year, with production volumes anticipated to grow due to rising chronic diseases, and improved access to healthcare in emerging markets.
❑ Minimizing the waste generated by pharma industries is expected to drive the market of deblistering machine. Rejected and defective blister packs need to be removed from the product line to either recover the medication or remove an expired drug. Pharma manufacturers utilize deblistering machines to empty blister packs and reuse them to minimize the waste generated and reduce costs simultaneously. The use of deblistering machines also serves to reduce their effect on the environment. Thus, deblistering machines are widely used by pharma manufacturers, pharmaceutical contract packaging manufacturers, and medical waste recycling businesses. The need for reducing medical waste is projected to fuel the demand for deblistering machines during the forecast period.
However, the high cost of deblistering machines is hindering the market growth
The cost of the deblistering machines is high and not very feasible for the pharmaceutical industries and businesses. For instance, the cost of one semi-automatic deblistering machine is around 50 thousand, and the price of fully automatic machines is much higher. Hence, high costs associated with deblistering equipment procurement are a significant factor restraining the global deblistering market's growth.
Deblistering Machine Market Segment Analysis
By type, the deblistering machine market is segmented into table-top, compact and rotary. Based on material, the machines are categorized into stainless steel, aluminum and plastic. Based on the operation mode, the deblistering machines market is segmented into automatic, semi-automatic and manual.
The automatic deblistering machine dominates the segment because of its extensive applications
The automatic deblistering machines segment holds a significant share in the deblistering machines market, which can be attributed to their extensive use by large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturers and medical waste recyclers. A large amount of waste is generated by pharmaceutical companies in which blisters packaging has a significant amount. For instance, as per Statista, in 2020, Roche produced more than 13 thousand metric tons of chemical waste.
Moreover, Automatic deblistering machines have ergonomic and rugged design makes them suitable for all kinds of blister packaging. All the processes are done automatic such as feeding, separation of drugs and blisters waste and waste collections in the machine. Various end-users such as nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals and pharmacies use automatic deblistering machines because of their advanced features and easy to use. Hence, an automatic deblistering machine is anticipated to dominate the market in the forecast period further.
Deblistering Machine Market Geographical Share
The deblistering machine market is categorized into North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.
North America dominates the deblistering machines market owing to proper healthcare infrastructure
North America dominates the deblistering machines market in revenue due to proper healthcare infrastructure coupled with increasing demand for appropriate pharmaceutical product packaging in the region. The market growth is driven by the rapidly growing pharmaceutical and generic markets, growth in OTC drug sales, rising need for flexible and integrated packaging equipment and the introduction of regulatory standards on packaging and stringent norms against counterfeiting.
Moreover, The US dominates the pharma market and trends, both in drug development and demand. For instance, four of the top 10 drug companies on Pharmaceutical Technology’s list are headquartered in the US. In addition, according to STAT, prescription drug spending in the nation is estimated to add up to US$600 billion by 2023, up from an estimated US$500 billion in 2019.
