3 benefits of thermoformed plastics

1. Limitless reusability

Thermoformed solutions are produced from polymer resins that soften when heated and harden when cooled during thermoforming or vacuum forming technology. This means that they can be easily molded, customized, and engineered not once, but multiple times. Additionally, they do not experience any changes to their chemical properties when processed, which makes them one of the most sustainable plastic packaging products available (Recycled Packaging). This enhanced reusability also offers limitless branding opportunities to customize the packaging at the point of sale and increase product visibility.

2. Enhanced protection

Thermoformed plastics have a light structure that makes them an ideal material for packaging, storage, and transportation. They can be custom-made to meet various shock absorption requirements for specific products, like Lithium-ion Batteries, Telecom/Datacom products, Automotive parts, and other dangerous and fragile goods. Moreover, their ability to be molded into various shapes allows numerous sealing options that can extend product's shelf life and enhance protection against contamination. This feature also makes it easier to open and reclose the packaging.

3. Cost-effective sustainability

Compared to standard injection molding alternatives, thermoplastic packaging is typically more cost-effective. And thanks to their durability, they are a perfect fit for return and circular flows, contributing to sustainable supply chains (Online Sciences).

Thermoformed Plastics Market: Trends and Opportunities

The global thermoformed plastics market is driven by the large application of thermoformed plastic in food packaging. As food packaging requires superior quality packaging materials to ensure protection against moisture, odor, and bacteria, which is provided by thermoplastics, their demand is significantly high in the food industry. Besides this, thermoformed plastics have recently found application in pharmaceutical articles packaging, which is projected to give significant boost to the market.

Thermoformed plastics have a wide range of applications and are also cost-effective, which has aided in the market's growth in recent years. The plastics used in thermoforming are based on petrochemicals. Despite the market's positive trajectory to date, it has yet to develop resistance to the effects of fluctuating raw material prices. Furthermore, the high labour costs frequently incurred in thermoplastics manufacturing have a negative impact on the global thermoformed plastics market. Furthermore, it is difficult to achieve precise wall thickness as well as uniform thickness in products during the thermoforming process. As a result, the products may be less durable. As a result, manufacturers are investigating potential thermoform substitutes.

There are growing opportunities in the food & beverage industry due to its superior qualities to help thermoforming plastic market grow.

Thermoformed plastic products are commonly used to package food items such as meat, ready-to-eat cuisine, beverages, dairy products, and bakery goods in the food and beverage industry. Thermoformed plastic products are flexible and durable, making packaged food goods easy to transport. Furthermore, these items extend the shelf lives of food products and reduce contamination, preventing food from spoiling. The increased global beverage consumption is driving the demand for thermoformed plastic packaging, which is expected to drive market expansion.

The thermoforming plastic market is anticipated to be dominated by the PP-based thermoforming plastic segment due to extensive use of plastic.

The thermoforming plastic market is segmented by polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), bioplastics, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), and other plastic types. In terms of volume and value, PP dominates the global thermoforming plastics market. This is due to the fact that this plastic is widely used in the packaging of products such as food, medical devices, and automobiles. Because of its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent energy management, resilience, superior chemical resistance, and durability, it is an excellent choice for packaging applications.

Polypropylene (PP) can be used to make microwaveable and dishwasher safe plastic containers, as well as reusable food containers. The procedure used in industry for plastic parts is known as thermoforming. Flat thermoplastic sheets are thermoformed into three-dimensional structures during the process. The three thermoforming processes are vacuum forming, pressure forming, and match die forming. This must be considered when designing thermoplastic containers. In order for the part to be vacuum formed during thermoforming and have acceptable quality and value, the mould container design must be practical. The type of material used for the mould may also have an effect on the thermoforming procedure.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:  Growing Demand for Thermoforming Plastic from Food Packaging Industry

High consumer demand for packaged food products as a result of changing eating habits, rising income levels, and the adoption of hectic lifestyles are key factors expected to drive significant market revenue growth during the forecast period. Packaging made from these plastics has high barrier properties and a long shelf life, resulting in a high demand for the product in a variety of end use industries. Food packaging adoption is expected to rise due to the increased use of high-performance materials in the production of packets of convenience meals and the growing urban population, which leads to increased consumption of packaged foods.

Restraint: Strict Government Regulations

The implementation of rules and regulations by governments in various countries to reduce pollution by prohibiting the use of plastic is a key factor that could limit market revenue growth during the forecast period. Some of the direct environmental effects of plastic use include water contamination, soil erosion, solid waste pollution, chemical pollution, and resource depletion such as fossil fuel. Plastics require petroleum and crude oil to be manufactured; however, strict regulations to conserve these resources can stifle market revenue growth.
