Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) Packaging Services in Healthcare MarketSize and Trends

Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) Packaging Services in Healthcare Market– Insights

Blow-fill-seal (BFS) is a manufacturing technique used for packaging of injectable solutions, antibiotics, ophthalmological drops, suspensions, infusion solutions, solutions for hemofiltration, and others. In this technique, a container is formed, filled, and sealed, all in one step. It is a type of aseptic packaging system requiring no human intervention. The container can be filled with very low volume (0.1ml) to very large volume (100ml and above) and the configurations of the vials can be changed during the procedure.

New technologies emerging in blow, fill, and seal manufacturing technique is expected to boost the global blow-fill-seal (BFS) packaging service in healthcare market growth

The introduction of new technologies by key players in the market is expected to increase the demand for blow-fill-seal (BFS) packaging services, which is in turn expected to propel the global blow-fill-seal (BFS) packaging services in healthcare market growth. For instance, in September 2018, Robert Bosch Packaging Technology GmbH introduced a horizontal flow wrapping machine, Sigmapack HML. This machine is used in the last process of blow-fill-seal (BFS) for hermitic sealing of vials. It can seal 350 packages/min. It is designed in a compact size and can be integrated into operation line as well as a standalone system. It also provides ultrasonic sealing for heat-sensitive products.

Similarly, in May 2018, Weiler Engineering Inc. developed LAB + ASEP TECH Blow/Fill/Seal (B/F/S) machine. It is designed in a compact size, which allows installation of it in confined spaces. It is designed specifically for laboratories, small scale production, clinical trials, drug shortages, biologics, and vaccines. Such emerging technologies in blow-fill-seal (BFS) is expected to drive the global blow-fill-seal (BFS) packaging services in healthcare market growth.

The global blow-fill-seal (BFS) packaging services in healthcare market was valued at US$ 240.2 million in 2017 and is expected to witness a robust CAGR of 6.9% over the forecast period (2018–2026).
