Europe Molded Pulp Packaging Market Segmentation

Grand View Research has segmented the Europe molded pulp packaging market on the basis of source, packaging type, application, and region:

Based on the Source Insights, the market is segmented into Wood Pulp and Non-wood Pulp.

  • Wood pulp accounted for the largest revenue share of over 75.0% in 2020. Europe accounted for about a quarter of world production for pulp and paper in 2020 with leading producing countries being Germany, Sweden, and Finland. The government is increasingly focusing on recycling paper programs, positively benefitting the availability of wood pulp for the production of molded pulp packaging
  • Non-wood pulp is made using non-wooden cellulosic plant materials, including cereal straw, reeds, grasses, and sugarcane bagasse. The use of non-wood fibers is rising on account of sustainability and wood supply limitations. For instance, PAPACKS Sales GmbH uses fibers of hemp with a negative CO2 balance. It has good strength and durability for manufacturing molded pulp packaging products.

Based on the Packaging Type Insights, the market is segmented into Thick Wall, Transfer, Thermoformed, Processed.

  • The transfer segment held the largest revenue share of over 50.0% in 2020. Transfer molded pulp packaging employs both forming and transfer molds in processing, resulting in a finished surface on both sides. Players are investing in transfer-type packaging as the products made from this method are used in a wide range of end-use applications. In August 2019, Packaging manufacturer Dinopol SP Z O.O headquartered in Poland announced the launch of new products and expansion into the local markets by investing in advanced production technology for transfer type molded pulp products with help from EU funding.
  • Thick-wall pulp packaging is the thickest packaging out of all four types. Thick wall molded pulp end caps are used in protective packaging during the transportation of various products, especially within the electronics industry. The lightweight property of the product has been supporting cargo transportation requirements. Therefore, increasing trade between countries in Europe is expected to boost the demand for thick wall molded pulp packaging.
  • Thermoformed type is also called thin-wall molded pulp packaging. These products offer a smoother finish and higher aesthetic appeal owing to which the segment has been generating considerable traction. Thermoformed packages are commonly used in the foodservice industry for making trays, plates, cups, and bowls. Thermoformed trays and containers can also be made microwave compatible, making it a preferred choice for fast food packaging that requires reheating. Processed type is used primarily in case of customs requirements such as printing. The method also includes additional steps of processing such as die-cutting, coating, or incorporation of chemicals.

Based on the Application Insights, the market is segmented into Food Packaging, Food Service, Electronics, Healthcare, Industrial, Others.

  • The foodservice segment dominated the market with a revenue share of over 40.0% in 2020. Molded pulp clamshells, plates, bowls, and cups are widely used in the foodservice industry for packaging on-the-go snacks, ready-to-eat meals, and serving beverage cups. The rising trend of the consumption of single-serve meals and on-the-go products is expected to boost the demand for molded pulp packaging products in the foodservice industry.
  • Various medical devices such as glucose monitors, blood oxygenators, test kits, and surgical instruments are packaged in molded pulp products in the healthcare industry. Single-use dishes, urinals, bowls, and bedpans are often made using molded pulp. Molded pulp products can be easily discarded and are cost-effective in the healthcare system, thus fueling the growth of the segment.
  • The industrial packaging segment includes construction, transportation, and chemical packaging applications. The others segment includes personal care and cosmetics, household products, and automotive applications. The growing cosmetics industry in European countries, along with the accelerating demand for sustainable packaging, is likely to propel the growth of the market. For example, Pangea Organics uses clamshells made of molded pulp for packaging soap.
