Thermoform Packaging Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)
Thermoform Packaging Market Overview
Thermoform Packaging Market size is estimated to reach US$61.8
billion by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period
2022-2027. Thermoform packaging is a molded product obtained by the thermoforming
process, which involves molding plastic such as polycarbonate, polyethylene,
polystyrene, polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate into the desired
shape by heating and application of pressure. Thermoform Packaging is often
employed in the electrical & electronics industry which is growing. The Japan Electronics and
Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA) forecasted that the production
by the global electronics and IT industries will grow by 2% year on year in
2020 to reach US$2,972.7 billion and will grow by 7% year on year in 2021 to
reach a record US$3,175.6 billion. Several end-use industries in the Thermoform
Packaging industry suffered negative effects as a result of the novel
coronavirus pandemic, which had a direct impact on the Thermoform Packaging market
size in the year 2020.

Thermoform Packaging Market Segment Analysis – by Material
The plastic segment held a significant share in the Thermoform
Packaging market share in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8%
during the forecast period 2022-2027 because thermoformed plastic food packs
and blister packs are being used more frequently. When compared to other
options, plastic thermoform packaging made of polycarbonate, polyethylene,
polystyrene, polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate is less expensive to
produce and offers more design flexibility. High strength, low weight and
recyclable qualities of PET material increase demand, which supports the
segment's expansion. Additionally, PET exhibits little water absorption and
doesn't react with food or drinks. These factors make plastic an ideal choice
for the thermoform packaging of consumable products.
Thermoform Packaging Market Segment Analysis – by End-use Industry
The food & beverage segment held a significant share in the Thermoform
Packaging market share in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2%
during the forecast period 2022-2027. The larger share of this segment was
attributed to the packaged food industry's extensive use of various products,
including trays, containers and clamshells. Over the forecast period, the
penetration of thermoform products in the food & beverage end-use industry
segment is increasing due to rising demand for convenience or packaged food
products as a result of changing lifestyles. Additionally, the number of people
who consume packaged foods worldwide is rising and the food retail industry is
growing, which is further supporting the market growth in the food &
beverage end-use industry, which is subsequently propelling the segment growth.
Thermoform Packaging Market Segment Analysis – by Geography
North America held the largest share in the Thermoform Packaging market share in 2021 up to 33.8%, owing to the bolstering growth of the food & beverage sector in the North America region. For instance, according to the United States Census Bureau, prior estimates of U.S. retail and food services sales for July 2022 were $682.8 billion, a 10.3 percent increase over July 2021. These estimates were adjusted for seasonal variation, holiday and trading-day differences, but not for price changes. Total sales increased 9.2% from May 2022 to July 2022 compared to the same time last year. The Mexican food processing sector is one of the most dynamic in the country, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), with average annual growth of 4.3 percent and a projected $39.4 billion GDP contribution to Mexico's economy in 2020. And with the increasing food & beverage industry in North America, the demand for thermoform packaging significantly increased, which accelerated the Thermoform Packaging market in North America.
Thermoform Packaging Market Drivers
Increasing Electrical & Electronics Industry:
The packaging of various electronics
products, such as headphones, batteries, mobile accessories and others, is
performed using thermoform containers, clamshells and blisters in the
electrical & electronics industry, which is another important end-user
industry segment. The consumer electronics and home appliance sector in India,
for example, generated $9.84 billion in revenue in 2021 and is expected to
increase to US$21.18 billion by 2025, according to the India Brand Equity
Foundation. The Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries
Association predicts that the global electronics industry will produce 7% more
in 2021 than it did in 2020, totaling US$3,175.6 billion (JEITA). The operating
income for China's electronic information manufacturing industry reached
roughly 14.1 trillion yuan (roughly $2.2 trillion) in 2021, up 14.7 percent
from the year before, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information
Technology.
Flourishing Pharmaceutical Sector:
The pharmaceutical market is expanding quickly in developing
nations. The Brazilian, Chinese and Indian pharmaceutical markets expanded by
11.2 percent, 6.9 percent and 11.1 percent, respectively, between 2014 and
2019, according to the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and
Associations (EFPIA). According to Invest India, India's pharmaceutical market
is predicted to be worth US$65 billion by 2024 and US$120 billion by 2030. The
value of the UK pharmaceutical industry is anticipated to increase by 19.3% to
£25 billion between 2018 and 2023, or 3.6 percent annually, according to
Enterprise Ireland. Due to the increase in the pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical
packaging is expected to exhibit rapid growth, thereby driving the Thermoform
Packaging market growth over the forecast period.
Thermoform Packaging Market Challenge
Drawbacks Associated with Thermoform Packaging:
Although thermoforming is a flexible process well-known in the
manufacturing sector for its affordability and relative ease, it has drawbacks.
Thin-walled designs are the only ones that can be processed. Weak points could
be created by the part's thickness being uneven in some places. When compared
to other plastic molding techniques like injection molding, it is a little more
expensive. It might require more plastic than other plastic molding techniques.
Due to its restriction on plastic sheets, it cannot be used with a variety of
materials. Thus, all these drawbacks are a significant challenge for the market
during the forecast period.
