The blow fill seal technology market is expected to grow from its estimated USD 3,107.8 million in 2024 to USD 5,258.5 million in 2034. Between 2024 and 2034, sales are expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. In 2023, blow fill seal technology brought in USD 2,948.6 million USD.
The burgeoning pharmaceutical industry, coupled with manufacturers increasingly embracing advanced sterilization technologies like blow fill seal (BFS), is set to propel the global market forward. The adoption of BFS addresses concerns related to human intervention and mitigates the risks of drug contamination during the filling and packaging processes.
This technology presents a myriad of advantages, including packaging flexibility, reduced operating costs, high-level sterility assurance, minimal space and component inventory requirements, as well as a limited workforce necessity. These attributes collectively position BFS as an ideal technology for pharmaceutical companies engaged in drug packaging applications.

The latest generation of aseptic blow-fill-seal technology machines is specifically dedicated to a whole new range of adapted insertion applications. These modular insertion isolators are typically located outside the categorized machine room, separate from but directly connected to the B/F/S unit through a transfer tunnel.
The isolator and tunnel are typically sterilized with vaporized hydrogen peroxide, and the Class 100 environment within it is maintained by HEPA filtration. This new addition to the aseptic B/F/S system has not only streamlined the insertion process but has also provided a higher level of sterility assurance for products with tips-and-caps and rubber/silicone stoppers inserted under aseptic conditions.
This technology was introduced by Rommelag, incorporating insertion with blow-fill-seal, resulting in an advanced blow-fill-insert-seal technology. During the insertion process, either a preservative-free multi-dose system or a micro-brittle applicator could be inserted according to the requirements.
“Unit dosage packaging, such as prefilled syringes, is in high demand. This, in turn, is spurring the demand for blow-fill-seal technology in the global market. In response to this market dynamic, pharmaceutical companies are strategically integrating BFS technology into their manufacturing processes to meet the escalating demand for unit dose packaging.”- Says Future Market Insights.
