The rising need to re-evaluate packing solutions material to attain sustainability will drive wood fiber packaging market. Stringent regulations on the usage of environmentally hazardous packaging materials made from polymers have induced the investment towards the production and adoption of environmentally friendly packing solutions made from pulp and cellulose.
The Global Wood Fiber Packaging Market size will observe more than 7.5% CAGR up to 2026. These packing solutions are advanced materials to suit both food and non-food applications. Another factor which is supporting the adoption of these materials is the product and environmental safety at economical pricing.
Transfer, thick wall, thermoformed, and processed are key packing types present in the industry. Transfer molds led to the overall consumption and accounted for over 50% of the demand in 2019. Benefits such as air permeability, extended shelf life, hygroscopic properties, and prevention from shocks make the product highly lucrative for the packing of wine bottles and eggs.
Various end-use companies are investing in the procurement of thick wall packing types. Thick wall packing provides the unfinished surface on one side and a smoother surface on the other side which is mainly used in the production of end caps and trays. These packing types find major applications in industrial products.
By product, the industry is divided into boxes, trays, clamshell containers, and end-caps among others. Trays dominated the overall product segment and held more than 40% of global demand in 2019. High convenience, stability during the transition, and shock absorption are the primary factors to stimulate adoption in this segment. Other factors such as temperature optimization, minimal contamination risk, compatibility to use them in both microwave and conventional ovens make them an ideal solution for food packing applications.
Another key product that is gaining high popularity is the end-caps. Cost efficiency and biodegradability are the major attributing factors to drive growth in this segment. Also, reduction and decline in the production and consumption of single-use plastics to encourage eco-friendly packaging solutions will induce demand in this product segment.
By end-user, the wood fiber packaging market is comprised of food, electronics, healthcare, and industrial among others. The food industry dominated the overall end-user segment and held more than 42% of the revenue share in 2019. High demand for the packing of the vegetable and fruits to aid in regulating respiration and ethylene density is the prime factor to stimulate penetration in this segment.
Another application in the same industry is the packing of ready-to-eat meals, on-the-go snacks, and beverages in multiple restaurants and food outlets. Changing lifestyles due to hectic and busy schedules has instigated the adoption of sustainable materials-based bowls, cups, clamshells, and plates. These products are highly beneficial for on-the-go snacks due to their easy recyclability and minimal harm to the environment.
The electronics industry is projected to observe notable growth from 2021 to 2026. Increasing sale of electronic products such as computers, laptops, printers, modem, and cell phones which needs safer packing solutions will support the product penetration in the electronics industry.
The Asia Pacific Wood Fiber Packaging Market dominated the overall demand in 2019 and accounted for more than 38% of the revenue share in the same year. The increasing trend for ecological packing solutions along with rapid growth in the retail and e-commerce industry has positively influenced regional market share. China, Japan, South Korea, and India are the major countries to invest in these packing solutions. Another environmental factor such as the ban on single-use plastic will proliferate the industry expansion.
North America is anticipated to witness significant growth and stood as the second-largest revenue-generating region in the industry. HORECA's industry expansion along with the high percentage of people depending on ready-made food from fast-food outlets, restaurants, and online food ordering will induce regional penetration.
The European market is majorly influenced by the increasing sustainable packing trend along with the presence of a large number of food outlets and restaurants adopting ecological business activities.
Global Company Revenue Market Share is highly competitive due to the presence of both regional and global providers offering a diversified product portfolio. Wide product availability in different colors, shapes, sizes, and forms to cover a large variety of applications makes the industry highly competitive. Product solutions customization as per consumer-specific requirements is among the prime strategy witnessed in the industry. Attractive and new variety product launches to uplift marketing campaigns are also witnessed in recent years.
