DUBLIN, March 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Global Thermoformed Plastics Market Size, Segments, Outlook, and Revenue Forecast 2022-2028 by Product Type, Thermoforming Type, Thickness, End-User, and Region" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
According to this analysis, the Global Thermoformed Plastics Market was valued at ~US$ 30 billion in 2017. It is estimated to be ~US$ 40 billion in 2022 and is forecasted to reach a market size of ~US$ 60 billion, growing at a CAGR of ~7% due to the increasing usage in healthcare and food packaging sectors.
Thermoforming is a plastic manufacturing process that applies a vacuum or pressure force to stretch a sheet of heated thermoplastic material over an engineered mold to create a 3-dimensional shape or part. After forming, the shaped part is trimmed and finished to a specification to meet an end user's requirements. The process and thermoplastic materials are extremely versatile and can be utilized to manufacture parts for a wide range of applications.
Rising demand for effective packaging solutions across all the major industries is the key factor responsible for the growth of the market. Thermoformed plastics are most commonly used to make clamshell packages, package blisters, mailer trays, retail package liners, and many others. The wide acceptance of these products is fuelling market growth.
Furthermore, thermoformed plastics are also used in the infrastructure and automotive industries. In building and infrastructure, thermoformed plastics are used mainly for insulation applications, whereas in automotive, it has applications in interior and exterior body parts of automobiles.
The major challenge faced by the market is the volatile prices of the raw materials used for making thermoformed plastics. Hydrocarbon fuels such as crude oil, natural gas, and coal are the most common primary sources of thermoformed plastics.
The regulations over the preservation of natural resources act as a restraining factor for the market. Social upheaval in major crude oil-producing countries, including Libya, Venezuela, Nigeria, Iran, and Iraq, has harmed crude oil production, causing demand and supply irregularities. These factors have a short-term impact on the market, causing prices to drop and rise quickly.
COVID-19 had a detrimental influence on the thermoformed plastics market growth and demand, owing to a worldwide halt in manufacturing operations. The restrictions on supply and transport have impacted the market globally. The pandemic and resulting lockdowns disrupted supply chains on both supply and demand sides, which negatively impacted many manufacturing and service industries such as consumer goods, packaging, agriculture, and others.
According to the Government of Canada's Monthly Survey of Manufacturing, 2021, manufacturing sales declined 2.10% to US$ 57.10 billion in April 2021. The market is expected to exhibit significant growth in the forecast period due to surging demand for thermoformed plastics products in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries
