According to the most recent market research study by FMI, the market for thermoformed containers worldwide is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% between 2023 and 2033. The market is anticipated to grow to a value of US$ 19.9 billion in 2023. The worth is predicted to reach US$ 31.6 billion by 2033.

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.

The study finds that polyethylene thermoformed containers accounted for over one-third volume sold in 2018. Polypropylene remains the second most preferred material and accounted for over one-fifth share of the total thermoformed containers sold in 2018.

Polyethylene fits well in the packaging industry's trending material features such as light-weight and strength. High density polyethylene (HDPE) is one of the highly dependable material among different polymers used across thermoforming container applications. Along with rigidity, polyethylene provides resistance to stains, odors and moisture- characteristics that are highly embraced across industrial applications.

Well aware of polyethylene's popularity, manufacturers provide a number of options with respect to shape, color, size and thickness, implying its widespread adoption.

4 in 10 Thermoformed Containers Sold to Food and Beverage Industry in 2018

The study reveals that the food and beverage industry continues to register increasing demand for thermoformed containers and accounted for 40% sales in 2018. Growing demand for canned and packaged food on the back of changing lifestyles and urbanization is contributing to the sales of thermoformed containers in the food and beverage industry. A trend of ready-to-eat food and a growing emphasis on hygienic packaging further increases demand for thermoformed containers in the F&B sector.

Request Report Methodology: https://www.futuremarketinsights.com/request-report-methodology/rep-gb-8606

Sales in the pharmaceutical industry remained the second largest, accounting for 3 in 10 thermoformed containers' sales in 2018. Blisters are the highly embraced packaging products, especially for medicines whose sales have increased exponentially over the past few years.
