Drug Blister Packaging Market Dynamics

                  Rise in prevalence of diseases, disposable income and rate of urbanization

Rise in prevalence of diseases, disposable income and rate of urbanization is one of the leading factors for the Drug Blister Market growth. Prevalence of disease are increasing due to environmental factors like climatic change, zoonosis, and unhealthy lifestyle caused by rising urbanization. Urbanization has given rise in consumption of unhealthy, processed, frozen food, lack of exercise, busy lifestyle, which has led to cause of disease like diabetes, heart diseases, obesity, etc. Rapid economic development has increased westernization of lifestyle like consuming poor nutrition food, smoking, alcohol intake, which has given rise in prevalence of diseases.

For instance, in 2022, (PMC), determined that climate change has given rise in zoonotic diseases. Zoonosis transmission of infections from animals to human beings has reached 60% of total infectious diseases. Climatic changes has caused variation in rainfall patterns, temperature, climatic disaster, has allowed favorable conditions for increase in vector-borne diseases. Disposable income allows the individual to spend more on health as people are educated and aware about their health. Use of drugs in treatment of diseases has given rise in drug blister packaging market. According to data published by United Nations in 2018, about 55% of the world’s population resided in urban areas, and it is projected that this percentage will increase over the forecast period. However, the growth in disposable income and population in urban areas boosts the demand for drug blister packaging market.
