Sales Projection Strategies: Analyzing the Impact of Thermoform Packaging

Thermoform packaging refers to a type of packaging produced by heating a plastic sheet until it becomes pliable and then molding it into a specific shape using a mold or form. Once the plastic has cooled and solidified, it retains the desired shape, creating a rigid and durable packaging solution. Thermoforming is a versatile process commonly used in various industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, electronics, and consumer goods.

The thermoform packaging industry size is projected to be valued at US$ 50,390 Million in 2023 and it is anticipated to surpass US$ 84,450 Million by 2033. The adoption of thermoform packaging is anticipated to rise at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period.

Anticipated market growth is poised to be driven by an upswing in the availability of convenience foods, with a particular focus on ready-to-eat meals and packaged meat and fish offerings. This momentum is further propelled by the global expansion of organized retail and e-commerce channels, creating a favorable landscape over the projected period. In the thermoforming process, manufacturers subject thermoplastic sheets to elevated temperatures, inducing softening, followed by molding using casts. The iterative application of heat, suction, and compression shapes these sheets into the final products.

Overview of thermoform packaging:

1. Materials Used: Thermoform packaging can be made from a variety of plastic materials, including:
   • Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
   • Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
   • Polypropylene (PP)
   • Polystyrene (PS)
   • Polyethylene (PE)
   • Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)
   • Polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) The choice of material depends on factors such as the desired properties of the packaging (e.g., clarity, strength, barrier properties), compatibility with the packaged product, and environmental considerations.
2. Process: Thermoform packaging is typically produced using the following process:
   • Heating: A plastic sheet is heated until it reaches a pliable state, typically using infrared heaters or heated platens.
   • Forming: The heated plastic sheet is placed over a mold or form, and vacuum pressure or mechanical force is applied to shape the plastic into the desired configuration.
   • Cooling: Once the plastic has been formed into the desired shape, it is cooled using air or water to solidify and maintain its structural integrity.
   • Trimming: Excess material is trimmed away from the formed packaging using cutting dies or trim presses to create the final product. Thermoforming can be performed using various methods, including vacuum forming, pressure forming, and twin-sheet forming, depending on the complexity of the packaging design and the requirements of the application.

Recent Developments 

• In October 2019, COEXPAN unveiled CorePET, a brand-new 100% rPET sheet developed exclusively for the thermoform packaging industry.
• The Mondi Group created a polypropylene film that is 100% recyclable for use in thermoforming flexible films for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and vacuum packaging to extend the shelf life of products like meat and cheese. The device offers a 23% reduction in carbon footprint compared to conventional packaging and is completely recyclable in existing waste streams. The internal barrier layer accounts for less than 5% of the whole structure.
• Pactiv LLC took the lead in the market in 2020 as a result of its wide range of products, particularly for the food and beverage industry, and strong North American presence.
