KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Rigid thermoform plastic packaging is the packaging of products that involves heating a plastic sheet till it is flexible and form any required shape to fulfill the packaging purpose. Rigid thermoform plastic packaging products are cost-effective, versatile, robust, reusable, and lightweight, due to which they have attained extensive demand in the food & beverages, electronics, and pharmaceutical industries. The proliferating growth in the pharmaceutical sector due to the increasing chronic illness and aging population is also contributing to the market growth. In addition, the increasing usage of clamshells, blisters, and trays for packaging electronic products such as batteries, headphones, & mobile accessories thrives the market growth worldwide. Major manufacturers' potential innovations and investments drive the rigid thermoform plastic packaging market and are projected to create lucrative opportunities for the market in the forthcoming years.



  • For instance, in April 2021, Amcor announced the trial for a recyclable polyethylene (PE) based thermoform blister packaging solution named AmSky blister system. Launching these blisters will enhance the sustainability of several healthcare & pharmaceutical brands.


Compared to plastic packaging, thermoformed plastic packaging products' high efficiency and strength thrives the growth of the global rigid thermoform plastic packaging market. These versatile products have promoted demand in the food & beverages and pharmaceutical sectors to enhance product visibility, retain customers, and boost brand awareness. The rising e-food delivery demand and growth in the platforms providing such services are also generating huge demand for rigid thermoform plastic packaging products. Increasing organized retail and the growing geriatric population are propelling the demand for blister packaging in retail & pharmaceutical industries, further enhancing the market growth.

The high upfront costs of the raw materials required to manufacture rigid thermoform plastic packaging products are the key factors inhibiting market growth. The stringent government rules & regulations on the usage of plastics in several regions, such as Europe, also limit the growth of the rigid thermoform plastic packaging market. In addition, the change in consumer shift from rigid to flexible packaging products is also projected to impede market growth in the forthcoming years.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE RIGID THERMOFORM PLASTIC PACKAGING MARKET


The unexpected outbreak of the novel coronavirus led to a halt in the production of varied products across industries worldwide. The impact of lockdowns and business shutdowns by government bodies has also been observed in the packaging industry. The unavailability of raw materials and the fear of viruses among the laborers caused a slowdown in manufacturing activities of rigid thermoform plastic packaging products. The industry experienced decreased sales due to the shutdowns of hotels, restaurants, and retail chains. However, with the growing inception of the virus, the pharmaceutical industry boomed. It led to a rapid demand for blisters and clamshell packaging to prevent the damage of pharmaceutical drugs from external factors such as air and moisture. Such a rise in demand is subsequently projected to enhance the market’s growth in the post-pandemic phase.
