Sunday, April 16, 2023
DUBLIN, March 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Molded Pulp Packaging Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The molded pulp packaging market was valued at USD 4,000.0 million in 2021. It is expected to reach a value of USD 5,661.23 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 5.98% during the forecast period (2022-2027).
Companies Mentioned
-- Maspack Ltd
-- Enviropak Corporation
-- Brodrene Hartmann As
-- Huhtamaki Oyj
-- Primeware Solutions (amercare Royal)
-- UFP Technologies Inc.
-- Henry Molded Products Inc.
-- Keiding inc.
-- Sabert Corporation
-- Pacific Pulp Molding Inc.
-- Protopak Engineering Corporation
Key Highlights
-- The molded pulp packaging market is expected to witness high growth due
to the rise in the middle-class population, increase in the number of
orders from the food packaging, electronics, and healthcare sectors, and
preference for convenient and sustainable packaging in the market.
-- Consumers' preference for recyclable and eco-friendly materials drives
the market. The growing importance of sustainability has helped make
pulp packaging an attractive option. Not only can it be made from
recycled materials, but it can also be easily recycled again after its
useful life cycle. It is manufactured with 100% recycled materials.
-- Moreover, the demand in the packaging industry to avoid using Styrofoam,
plastics, and other petroleum-based packaging has contributed to the
upward surge of pulp packaging. Also, in a recent study conducted by HC
Companies, 88% of respondents demanded companies provide more
sustainable product offerings. Such demands may benefit the application
of molded pulp packaging in many businesses and industries worldwide.
-- Furthermore, the increased egg consumption and production in various
economies worldwide drove the demand for the market studied. In fact,
according to PrintWeek, the global consumption of eggs is expected to be
nearly 10.3 kg/person by the end of 2030. The need to have a sturdy
packaging tray that can hold multiple eggs will result in the growth of
the global molded pulp packaging market.
-- The stringent government standards regulating the emission of greenhouse
gases are expected to hinder the market's growth. According to the
statistics from the US government, the manufacturers of pulp and paper
are the fourth-largest industrial emitters of greenhouse gases.
-- The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the market in the short term,
owing to the dependence on the production of final products across
important manufacturing hubs. The production halt has led to a pile of
orders, which is likely to increase the equipment cost.
Key Market Trends
Consumption of Eggs Accounts for a Significant Market Share of Trays
-- Due to the expected increase in the consumption of eggs and fruits in
the near future, along with their features, such as low weight and
recyclability, the market for trays is expected to grow. Trays are
witnessing a high demand for egg packaging.
-- Egg trays are protective packaging and are made using recycled
newspapers. Molded fiber trays offer good air permeability and
hygroscopic ability, which play an important role in egg packaging and
storage.
-- Further, these trays have different product dimensions and holding
capacities (number of eggs per tray). For instance, Teo Seng Capital
Berhad provides egg trays with different dimensions, such as Multi-K
Plus with a dimension of 296 mm x 296 mm(+/- 3 mm) for large eggs and
its compact product with a dimension of 273 mm x 273 mm (+/- 3 mm),
especially for smaller eggs.
-- Also, key vendors offering egg packaging solutions are expanding through
organic methods, such as launching new products or expanding their
manufacturing capacities. For instance, Huhtamaki developed new egg
trays for 30 eggs at its Brazilian manufacturing plant.
-- In the United States, according to the US Department of Agriculture, the
per capita consumption of eggs is increasing on an annual basis. This
indicates the significant demand for molded pulp trays.
-- However, the price of molded fibers is higher when compared to plastics.
In addition, plastic trays are reusable and washable. This is one of the
main factors owing to which plastic is preferred over molded fiber in
egg packaging, which is challenging the market growth.
Asia-Pacific to Witness High Market Growth Rate
-- The Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing region in the
molded pulp packaging market. This is attributed to the presence of an
increasing number of molded pulp packaging manufacturing units in
countries, such as China, India, Australia, Indonesia, and Bangladesh,
in the Asia-Pacific.
-- China, the major importer of pulp from other countries, is witnessing a
significant growth of demand for molded pulp packaged products for
end-users, such as food packaging, food service, FMCG, healthcare, and
electronics industries, and is further expected to drive the molded pulp
packaging market.
-- The growing urban population, development of the e-commerce package
industry, and improving population awareness about environmentally
friendly packaging are expected to propel China's paper packaging
market.
-- In addition, according to the estimates from India Brand Equity
Foundation (IBEF), the e-commerce market in India is expected to reach a
value of USD 200 billion by 2026, increasing from USD 38.5 billion in
2017. Statistics indicate a rise in the demand for electronic
appliances, which drives the need for trays and clamshells made using
molded pulp for electronics packing.
