In 2026, the blister thermoforming machine industry is accelerating its transformation toward intelligence, green development and high efficiency, with the market scale expanding steadily and the competitiveness of domestic equipment continuously improving.

At present, full-servo multi-station models have become the mainstream. Technological breakthroughs such as integrated in-mold cutting and digital intelligent control have greatly boosted production efficiency and yield rate, with equipment energy consumption reduced by over 10% year-on-year.

Driven by strong demand from downstream food, medical, electronic packaging and new energy sectors, as well as the national dual-carbon policy, the equipment’s adaptability to eco-friendly materials such as rPET and PLA has become a core competitive edge.

Industry reshuffling is intensifying. Leading enterprises are expanding market share relying on technological and service advantages, while small and medium manufacturers are phasing out backward production capacity. The annual market growth rate is expected to exceed 7%, and the localization rate of high-end domestic equipment keeps rising, gradually narrowing the gap with international brands.
