Report ID : 1592 | Published : 2023-03-09 | Pages: 180 | Format: PDF/EXCEL

The Global Thermoformed Plastics Market Size is valued at 41.57 billion in 2022 and is predicted to reach 69.73 billion by the year 2031 at an 6.11% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.

A fabrication process called thermoforming involves heating plastic sheets to create a bendable form that may be moulded into the appropriate shape in line with the needs of the customer. The heavy gauge technique, which is used in the manufacturing of transportation, industrial equipment, aerospace, retail, and medical devices, has more recently been used to replace metal with thermoformed polymers.

Thermoformed Plastics Market

Thermoformed polymers are commonly used to create lightweight vehicles because of their durability, strength, and light weight. The rising automotive industry and policies that encourage the use of light vehicles are expected to enhance demand for thermoformed plastics globally. Profitability is predicted to be hampered by the volatile cost of raw materials for thermoformed plastics. The medical business uses the thermoforming process to create diagnostic equipment, medical facilities, and accessories from thermoformed plastics.

Pharmaceutical products include pre-filled syringes, medical devices, and pharmaceutical bottles all use thermoform polymers. In the pharmaceutical sector, it is also utilised for the packing of capsules and tablets. All these factors are driving the market over the forecast period.

Recent Developments:

  • In January 2020, a top supplier of specialized thermoformed packaging solutions is Fabri-Kal. It worked with the Michigan Department of Environment beginning. In the upcoming years, this agreement will enable packaging product recycling rates to double.
  • In July 2019, Berry Global purchased RPC Group Plc for roughly $6.5 billion. The business was able to take advantage of this by combining its expertise in cutting-edge manufacturing, product development, and material research.

Market Segmentation:

The market is segmented into product, thermoforming type and application. Based on product, the thermoformed plastics market is divided into polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), high impact polystyrene (HIPS), and others. The market is divided into vacuum formed and pressure formed based on thermoforming type. The food packaging, consumer goods and appliances, healthcare and medical, construction, electrical and electronics, automotive, and other segments of the market are divided based on application.

Based On Product, The Polypropylene (PP) Segment Is Accounted As A Major Contributor In The Thermoformed Plastics Market

Polypropylene topped the product category in 2021, accounting for a revenue share of almost 21.0%. This trend is anticipated to last the entire projected time. Frequently, the thermoplastic resins polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), and polypropylene are used in the production of thermoformed plastics (PP). To create disposable items like cups, trays, margarine tubs, sandwich packs, and microwaveable containers as well as food packaging products like these, PP, a thermoplastic polymer, is widely utilized. More businesses are using polypropylene to package their products, which is predicted to boost demand for thermoformed plastics as a whole.

The Food Packaging Segment Witnessed Growth At A Rapid Rate

Based on application, the food packaging sector accounted for the highest share of the worldwide thermoformed plastic market in 2021, accounting for almost one-third of it. This segment is anticipated to increase significantly over the course of the forecast period. The segments for consumer goods and appliances, healthcare and medical, building, electrical and electronics, automotive, and others are also examined in the research.

In The Region, The North America Thermoformed Plastics Market Holds Significant Revenue Share

In terms of sales, North America held a market share of roughly 53.8% in 2021. During the forecast period, rapid industrialization and developments in the packaging sector are anticipated to drive the regional thermoformed plastics market. The industry is also anticipated to be driven by the region's expanding thermoformed plastic product suppliers and manufacturers. Besides, the fastest-growing regional market is anticipated to be in the Asia Pacific over the projection period. The emerging economies of this region have seen rapid economic expansion. The thermoformed plastics machinery in this region is produced and supplied primarily in this area by utilising a variety of technologies.
