- Virgin Fiber
Molded Pulp Packaging Market size was valued at USD 4,234.7 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2022-2028. Molded fiber packaging is a type of packaging that employs the usage of molder fiber. Newspaper and recycled paperboards are commonly used in its construction. Protective packaging, beverage carriers, food service trays, and other products all use moulded fibres in some capacity. Clamshells and containers come in all different sizes and forms. It is a marketable low-cost option for sustainable packaging made from recycled pulp. Players are focusing on launching new products. For instance, In 2019, A new fibre packaging plant for the production of foodservice packaging and egg packaging was inaugurated by Huhtamaki Oyj. Also, the business is spending money on R&D to improve and introduce new product lines for commercial growth. The market is anticipated to experience rapid expansion as a result of factors including the growing middle-class population, an increase in demand from the food packaging, electronics, and healthcare sectors, and consumer preference for practical and environmentally friendly packaging. The market is expanding as a result of rising demand for practical and protective packaging in the electronics industry.

The ongoing development of moulded fibre products that are more competitive as a plastic alternative, as well as an increase in orders from the electronics, food packaging, and healthcare sectors, are some of the main drivers of the market studied. Another major driver is the rapidly growing demand for convenient and sustainable packaging alternatives. Sustainable packaging materials are being used more frequently as a protective layer for transportation as the demand for end-user industries like consumer electronics rises since they provide protection and minimise environmental harm. Molded pulp packaging offers substantial cost advantages that can help businesses achieve their environmental objectives. The use of inexpensive, stable raw materials helps to keep the price of moulded pulp packaging low. Because petroleum is used to make the majority of plastic and foam packaging, the cost varies with changes in the price of crude. Molded pulp packaging is widely available, economically affordable, and made of post-consumer paper products and natural fibres.
The Molded Pulp Packaging Market in the Asia Pacific held the highest share in 2021 and it is expected to grow at a significant rate in the coming years. The disposable foodservice industry, which requires virgin pulp for the manufacture of packaging products like trays, cups, and clamshells that come in close contact with food items, has been experiencing significant growth in the region over the last few years, and China currently holds the largest market share of moulded pulp packaging in the Asia-Pacific region as a result. Worldwide suppliers of moulded pulp and moulded fibre products are also based in this area. For instance, Qingdao Xinya Molded Pulp Packaging Co. Ltd., a Chinese company, is a major provider of goods like bottle wine carriers, which are in high demand all over the world.
