Thermoformed Plastics Market Dynamics, Growth Prospect and Consumption Analysis till 2030
Thermoformed Plastics Industry Overview
The global thermoformed plastics market size was estimated at USD 13.45 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9% during the forecast period. Globally, the increasing demand for these products in the healthcare and pharmaceutical packaging sector is projected to be a key factor driving the market growth during the projection period.
The thermoforming process involves the fabrication of plastic sheets by heating them, to convert them into a bendable form that can be molded into the desired shape as per the customer’s specifications. More recently, thermoformed plastics are being used as a metal replacement using the heavy gauge process, which provides applications in industries such as transportation, industrial equipment, aerospace, kiosks, and medical devices.

In the medical industry, thermoformed plastics are used in the manufacturing of diagnostic systems, accessories, and medical plants. Thermoforming includes a manufacturing process of converting a two-dimensional thermo polymer into a three-dimensional shape. In the pharmaceutical industry, thermoformed plastics are used for products such as prefilled syringes, pharmaceutical bottles, and medical electronics, as well as for capsules and tablet packing such as blister packaging.
Thermoformed plastics are widely used to produce lightweight vehicles due to their properties such as lightweight, durability, and strength. The growing automotive industry, coupled with the regulations favoring light vehicle usage, is expected to benefit the thermoformed plastics demand across the globe. However, volatile raw material costs associated with thermoformed plastics are anticipated to pose hindrances in terms of profitability.
In 2021, food packaging dominated the application segment of the thermoforming plastics industry. The growing demand for packaged mineral water, milk, carbonated drinks, and fruit juice is projected to boost the segment. In addition, a large number of consumers are moving from unpacked to packaged food items, thus propelling the growth of the thermoformed plastics market. In addition, increasing retail store businesses such as convenience stores, hypermarkets, and supermarkets are projected to propel the food packaging industry, which is expected to fuel the demand for thermoformed plastics.
