Blossom Drop happens for many reason, below you will find a list of some:
Temperature -Pepper plants are sensitive to temperature changes. This is one of the most common causes for lack of flowering and/or bud drop and one of the most likely to suspect first. Overly cool conditions, especially early in the season, can prevent buds from forming. Extreme temperature changes also cause this.
Poor Pollination - The lack of flower production or bud drop can also be contributed to poor pollination.
Poor Circulation - which contributes to pollination, may also be to blame. Pepper blossoms are more sensitive to the temperatures during pollination.
Humidity - Too high or too low of humidity can cause blossom drop.
Abundance of Fruit - when a plant has a lot of fruit on it, the flower drop can and usually happens as the energy is going to the fruiting peppers.
