Thermoform Packaging Market Expected to Reach $ 60.5 Billion by 2027

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Thermoform Packaging Market By Material, Type, Heat Seal Coating, and End-User Industry: Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2019–2027,”The global thermoform packaging market was valued at $42.6 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $60.5 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 4.30% from 2020 to 2027.

Thermoform packaging are molded products obtained by thermoforming. In a general thermoforming process, thermoplastics are molded into desirable shapes by heating the plastic sheet to its forming temperature and pressurizing it on the mold. Thermoform packaging such as blister, clamshell, skin, and trays & lids are used in the packaging industry due to the flexibility in design as well as low production cost as compared to injection and rotational molding.

The global thermoform packaging market is driven by increase inapplications of thermoform packaging in the food & beverage packaging industry. Thermoform packages are lightweight and can be easily customized as per consumers’ needs, which further boost the market growth. The demand for thermoform packaging is expected to grow in the near future, owing to its superior characteristics such as durability, cost-effectiveness, and tamper resistance. Moreover, increase in consumer preference towardpackaged and fresh food is expected to augment the market growth. Moreover, macro-economic factors, such as changes in lifestyle and improvement in standards of living are expected to boost the demand for thermoform packaging during the forecast period.

The global thermoform packaging market is segmented on the basis of material, type, heat seal coating, end-user industry, and region. Based on material, the market is divided into plastics, aluminum, and paper & paperboard.
