Market Overview:
The global molded fiber clamshell and container market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for molded fiber clamshell and containers from various end-use industries, such as consumer durables and electronics, food and beverage packaging, healthcare products, automotive and mechanical parts, transportation and logistics, cosmetics and beauty products, food service disposables. In addition, the growing trend of lightweighting in various industries is also fueling the demand for molded fiber clamshells and containers. Based on type, the global molded fiber clamshells market can be segmented into thick walled moldeds shells (WWMS), transfer moldeds (TMs), thermoformed (TF) shells processed pulp (PP). Of these segments PP is expected to witness highest growth during the forecast period owing to its properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio coupled with good insulation properties which makes it suitable for use in foodservice applications. Based on application type; consumer durables & electronics sector dominated in 2017 followed by automotive & mechanical parts sector with both these sectors together accounting for more than 50% share of total revenue generated by application types segment in 2017.
Product Definition:
Molded fiber clamshell and container is a type of packaging that is made from molded fiber. It is used to protect and store items. The importance of molded fiber clamshell and container is that it protects the item from damage while being transported or stored.
Thick Wall:
Thick wall containers and molded fiber clamshells are high strength packaging solutions that are primarily used for the transportation of goods. The demand for thick wall containers is expected to witness growth over the forecast period owing to its increasing application in food & beverage industry, pharmaceutical industry, consumer goods industry and chemical products market. In addition, growing e-commerce sector across various regions is also anticipated to fuel product demand over the next few years.
Transfer Molded:
The industry has been witnessing a rapid change over the past few years owing to technological advancements and increased use of automated machinery. The transfer molded process is one such example where the raw materials are placed in a machine and heated which allows the plastic to flow into molds of desired shapes. This technology is widely used for manufacturing fiber clamshells & containers as it offers high quality at low costs with less wastage.
Application Insights:
The consumer durables and electronics application segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 30% in 2017. Molded fiber products are widely used to manufacture electronic equipment, mobile cases, handbags, wallets, briefcases and portfolios. The product is lightweight and can be easily transported from one place to another owing upon demand. This factor is likely to increase its demand in the foreseeable future.
Molded fiber clamshells are widely used for packaging various food products such as ready-to-eat meals (RETI), frozen foods (FRIED), canned foods (CANN) as well as dry packaged foods including cookies & cakes (DRYPACK). The containers offer high protection against oxygen content - which helps extend the shelf life of perishable food items such as meat, dairy products & beverages along with other grocery items like bakery goods and snacks that require short shelf life preservation conditions at maximum temperature falls under 10°C or below freezing point zero degrees celcius degree range.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for consumer electronics and healthcare products in this region. In addition, rising disposable income coupled with expanding middle-class population in countries such as China and India will drive product demand further. Europe is also estimated to witness significant growth over the coming years due to stringent regulations regarding waste management coupled with growing environmental concerns among consumers about sustainable packaging materials used for food and beverage products delivery services.
North America molded fiber clamshell market accounted for a share of more than 25% in 2017 owing to high consumption of packaged food items along with well established distribution network of major players such as Tyson Foods Inc., JBS USA Holdings, Inc., Kroger Co., Safeway Inc.; among others across U.S. Furthermore, presence of several end users including automotive manufacturers; electronic device producers like Apple Computer, Inc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for lightweight and durable packaging solutions in various industries
- Rising popularity of molded fiber clamshells and containers among consumers for their convenience and aesthetic appeal
- Growing trend of using sustainable packaging materials that are biodegradable and compostable
- Proliferation of online shopping resulting in increased demand for shipping containers
