Market Overview:
The global molded fiber food trays 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 food trays from various end-use applications, such as eggs, fruits and vegetables, and others. In addition, the growing trend of processed foods is also fueling the demand for molded fiber food trays in the global market. On the basis of type, the global molded fiber food trays market can be segmented into four major segments: type-1 thick-wall, type-2 transfer, type-3 thermoformed (thin wall), and type-4 processed.
Product Definition:
Molded fiber food trays are disposable, lightweight trays that are made from a molded paper pulp. They are often used to serve food at restaurants or to pack food for take-out. Molded fiber food trays can be recycled and they are compostable.
Type-1 Thick-Wall:
Type-1 thick wall is a type of polypropylene resin that is primarily used for manufacturing molded fiber food trays. It has high impact resistance and low water absorption, which makes it suitable for use in the food service industry. The demand from this industry has been witnessing growth over the past few years on account of increasing consumer spending on eating out and restaurant chains across various regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Central & South America.
Type-2 Transfer:
Type-2 transfer is a method used to apply food colorants and flavors to molded fiber products such as plastic trays, paper cups, and foam cups. It involves the application of the liquid food colorant/flavor in oil or water based solution onto the polymeric matrix of type-1 or type-2 molded fiber products.
The major advantage associated with this process is that it does not require any drying which reduces product degradation and increases its shelf life.
Application Insights:
The others application segment includes meat, poultry and seafood. Molded fiber food trays are widely used for meat, poultry and seafood due to its non-sticky texture. The molded fiber products act as a barrier between the food and the container preventing odor or bacterial contamination from reaching the surrounding environment.
Molded fiber is also used in egg packaging as it helps maintain temperature of eggs during transportation or storage without getting affected by cold temperatures or being crushed by heavy objects such as boxes. These egg trays provide even distribution of eggs thereby reducing chances of cracking caused due to uneven packing leading to increased shelf life for eggs.
Fruits & vegetables require different types of packaging depending upon their size, shape, color etc.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global molded fiber food trays market in 2017. The growth is attributed to various factors such as high standards of living, advanced technology, and innovation in products. Moreover, increasing demand for convenience foods is driving the regional market. Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising disposable income levels and changing consumer lifestyle resulting from urbanization and globalization.
The European region accounted for a major share due to growing awareness regarding healthy diet among consumers coupled with stringent regulations about use of plastic materials by government organizations like WHO & FDA (Food & Drug Administration).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for convenience food: The molded fiber food trays market is driven by the increasing demand for convenience food. Convenience foods are those that can be prepared or served quickly and easily. They are generally ready-to-eat or require minimal preparation time. This has led to an increase in the number of people who are looking for quick and easy meal options.
- Rising disposable income: Another key growth driver for the molded fiber food trays market is rising disposable income levels across the globe. With more money at their disposal, consumers are increasingly looking to purchase convenient and affordable meal options, such as those offered by molded fiber food trays manufacturers.
- Growing trend of takeout and home delivery: A third factor driving growth in the molded fiber food trays market is the growing trend of takeout and home delivery meals worldwide. This has led to a surge in demand for convenient packaging solutions that can withstand high temperatures without compromising on quality or safety standards. Molded fiber food trays offer an ideal solution in this regard, making them a popular choice among consumers today..
