Important elements that could fuel market expansion include:
- the cost-effectiveness of the value offered.
- the possibility of recycling.
- rising consumption of packaged foods.
Thermoformed items are manufactured by heating stiff polymers or closed-cell foams to a malleable temperature during the thermoforming process. For the proper shape, these are formed utilising vacuum and pressure forming procedures.
“As an efficient, durable and safer mode of packaging, thermoformed containers have penetrated in a wide range of applications ranging from consumer goods to medical packaging. With the advent of 3D printing tools, manufacturing capacities of thermoforming are set to expand in the future. And on the back of increased efforts in recycling, thermoformed containers are likely to observe steady growth prospects in the coming years wherein volume sales are expected to reach 191 billion units in 2019, totaling revenues worth US$ 16.6 billion,” says FMI.
Thermoformed Trays and Lids Segment Lucrative, Blisters are Top Selling
The study finds that trays and lids continue to garner greater revenues while blisters remain top-selling product and held one-third of the global sales in 2018. Thermoformed trays and lids accounted for over one-fifth of the sales and remained the most lucrative segment.
Increased use of blister packaging has led manufacturers to introduce various innovations in the form of enhanced protective features, production and technology integration and sustainability. In particular, pharmaceutical packaging manufacturers are leveraging these innovations in the blister packaging to meet the evolving expectations of stakeholders while maintaining a good profit margin.
Thermoformed trays and lids are highly embraced by end-users owing to their versatility in design manufacturing and customization for brand marketing. Also, efficient sealable feature combined with effective resealing extends the application scope of thermoformed trays and lids across end-user industries ranging from food to pharma.
Thermoformed Containers Sales Spearheaded by APEJ
The FMI study opines that APEJ spearheads thermoformed container consumption. In 2018, the region accounted for over one-third of the global volume sales with China at the helm of thermoformed container sales in APEJ. The region presents lucrative opportunities for manufacturers with the availability of raw materials, low-cost labor and significant demand for thermoformed packaging from end-use applications. Also, investments in food and beverage, as well as pharmaceutical packaging, is increasing with the expanding middle class and improving economic scenario.
