The global thin wall container market is majorly driven by increasing demand for lightweight packaging due to growing food & beverage industry. Factors such as changing lifestyle like on-the-go food consumption, rising levels of disposable income of the people, initiatives by the government against food safety procedures, rising preference for lightweight containers, demand for convenient and user-friendly packaging are some of the key factors which are likely to fleet the growth of thin wall containers market in near future. These factors influence the companies to look for a better option in terms of packaging materials.

What is the Market Potential of Thin Wall Containers Market?

An increase in the disposable income as a result of increased per capita income has resulted in allowing people to afford imported food products, in turn, fueling the growth of the thin wall containers market. The retail sector remains one of the largest sectors consuming thin wall containers for packaging of food products with the bullish demand as compared to conventional plastic containers. The lightweight and cost-effective thin wall containers offer an effective solution to reduce transportation costs. The rise of e-commerce in food and beverages (food delivery) has resulted in the increased consumption of the packaged food products that require the use of thin wall containers to protect the products from contamination and damages. This trend is expected to fuel the thin wall containers market in the near future.

Which are the Potential Segments for Thin Wall Containers Market?

As polystyrene can cause critical environmental concerns it has been banned from key countries. The largest share of thin wall containers market is derived solely by polypropylene both in terms of volume and value. This is because of the various benefits attached with its usage such as heat resistance due to its high melting point, enhanced transparency, high stiffness, and food protection by controlling steam.

The injection molding of thin walled containers requires four essential things: maximum acceleration, maximum speed, high injection pressure and maximum precision. Only when these four factors work optimally, high-quality parts can be achieved. The major benefits attached with injection molding technology include faster production speed, optimal production, low production cost, and uniformity. In comparison, the thermoforming segment is projected to register declining growth, in terms of volume. It is majorly used in manufacturing polystyrene thin wall products.

What is the Regional Standpoint in Thin Wall Containers Market?

In 2020, Asia Pacific was the largest region in the global food and beverages market, accounting almost 40% of the market. Due to the improved economic environment and the increased spending by the people in the region, there is a huge market potential for thin wall containers market. Europe is projected to lead the market, in terms of demand, through the improvements in the regional economy and the rising number of retail food chains. North America was the second largest region accounting for around 22% of the global food and beverages market, dominating the thin wall containers market due to its highest demand for plastic packaging. Africa was the smallest region in the global food and beverages market. Australia and New Zealand showed an increase in population which fueled the demand for consumables like convenience packages, packaged drinking water etc., rising the demand for thin wall containers.

Also NISSEI Plastic Industrial Co., Ltd. came up with a new technology to mix supercritical carbon dioxide into molten PLA to improve the fluidity of injected material. It makes injection molding of the world’s thinnest level (0.65mm) thin wall container possible while achieving super high transparency.

Impact of COVID-19 on thin wall containers market

The outbreak of the COVID-19 has acted as a massive restraint on the use of thin wall containers. This is due to the decline in food and beverages consumption as a result of lockdown imposed by governments. A disruption in supply chain was seen due to the trade restrictions. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across nations, manufacturers dependent on outsourcing of raw materials had to halt production. However, the food and beverages market has started recovering the shock of COVID-19 with the help of home delivery and cloud kitchens using thin wall containers as a packaging means.
