Polystyrene Foam Trays to Remain Most Preferred Product Variety

The segment is also the leading segment in terms of volume-wise consumption of foam trays globally. In 2014, 2,7301.3 mn units of polystyrene-based foam trays were sold globally. Revenue-wise, the segment had a valuation of US$1,589.4 mn in the same year.

Food Industry to Remain Largest Consumer of Foam Trays

Inexpensive, highly flexible, and also sometimes reusable trays made of polymer foams are used mostly for packaging and serving in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food, and several industrial applications. Of these, the food industry is the most prominent consumer of a variety of foam trays, accounting for over 2/3rd of the total production of the global market in present times. Factors such as busy lifestyles and rising affordability of outside food are leading to a vast surge in quick service restaurants and the practice of parceling and delivering food, especially in emerging economies such as India, China, and Indonesia.

This factor, along with the increased use of foam trays for packaging fruits, vegetables, and other food products, has led to the vast rise in consumption of foam trays in the food industry in the past few years. Over the forecasting horizon as well, the food industry will be the most prominent consumer of foam trays and retain its position as the largest contributor to the global market’s overall revenues.

Flourishing Food Industry in Asia Pacific to Fuel Demand

North America is presently the leading regional market for foam trays in terms of both revenue and volume. The prominent position of the regional market is attributed to the rising demand for larger case-ready, high priced, and recyclable varieties of foam trays in the region. The increase in prices of foam trays is also adding to the revenue prospects of the North America foam tray market. However, bans on non-biodegradable foam tray varieties in the region will dent the growth prospects of the market significantly in the next few years. Asia Pacific, on the other hand, will emerge as the most promising regional market. The flourishing food industry in the region and rising consumption of packaged and outside food will aid the increased demand for foam trays in the region.

Some of the key vendors in the global foam tray market are Pactiv LLC, Genpak LLC, Dart Container Corporation, D&W Fine Pack LLC, and Sirap Packaging.
