The global thermoformed plastics market was worth US$ 40.86 Billion in the year 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 66.16 Billion by the year 2032 at a CAGR of 5.5% between 2022 and 2032.
The pharmaceutical packaging sector is the major end-user of thermoformed plastics. The process of thermoforming involves fabricating plastic sheets by heating them; so as to convert them into bendable form that could actually be molded into the shape desired. Of late, thermoformed plastics are being used as replacements for metals by making use of heavy gauge process that addresses applications in verticals like industrial equipment, transportation, kiosks, aerospace, and medical devices.
Delving deeper into the medical vertical, thermoformed plastics are utilized for producing accessories, diagnostic systems, and medicinal plants. As thermoforming implies the conversion of 2D thermos-polymer into 3D one, products like pharmaceutical bottles, and prefilled syringes incorporate it. Plus, blister packaging, capsules, and tablets ask for thermoforming plastics.
Besides, thermoformed plastics are used for producing lightweight vehicles as they render greater durability.
Coming to food packaging, trays, cups, sandwich packs, margarine tubs, beverage glasses, disposable products, and microwave containers make use of polypropylene. PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) is expected to rule the roost in the near future due to extended service life.

Thick gauge thermoformed plastics are used in rear and front bumpers along with interior trim components in the heavy trucks industry. They are used in interior trim components and rear and front bumpers in heavy trucks vertical; also in the enclosures for weights and treadmills in fitness equipment, fenders in the farming sector, dash components, cowlings, and signage. Plus-assist forming helps in uniform food packaging with a reduction in starting gauge. AMUT Group has produced a thermoforming machine abreast with servo-driven plug assist on upper and lower mold platens. Different heat oven configurations are also offered.
Future Market Insights has walked through these facts with future perspectives in its latest market study entitled ‘Thermoformed Plastics Market’. It has its determined team of analysts and consultants to look through a 360-degree approach across macros and micros.
“The fact that thermoformed plastics could be recycled is expected to catalyze the thermoformed plastics market going forward”, says an analyst from Future Market Insights.
