Europe Blow-Fill-Seal Equipment Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Blow-fill-seal equipment abbreviated as BFS. This is an automated manufacturing process by which plastic containers, such as ampoules or bottles, are filled, blow-formed, and sealed in a continuous operation. It takes place in an enclosed and sterile area inside a machine, without any human intervention. It can consequently be used to aseptically manufacture sterile non-pharmaceutical or pharmaceutical liquid/semiliquid unit-dosage form. Blow-fill-seal equipment is an advanced aseptic processing technology which is generally used for packaging and filling of certain sterile liquid formulations such as inhalational anesthetics, liquid ophthalmics or lavaging agents, but can also be used for parenterals, injectables, and several other semiliquid or liquid medications
