European molded pulp packaging market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period. Stringent regulations on single-use plastics and considerable demand for sustainable packaging are some crucial factors encouraging market growth. In March 2019, the European Parliament approved a new law that aims to ban single-use plastic items including straws, plates, cotton buds sticks, and cutlery. In the EU, the products that will be banned by 2021. This will further drive the adoption of 100% recyclable molded pulp fiber packaging for protective packaging during transportation, handling, and to meet the requirements of strength, stiffness, and stability needs. A good, molded pulp design enables complete protection of the contents in the process of shipping and handling. Pulp molded tableware can be used to cup carrier, bowl, dishware, fast food tray, and others. Molded paper packaging is characterized by good stiffness, elegant appearance, lightweight, and easy to store and transportation features.
European molded pulp packaging market is segmented based on source, type, and end-use. Based on the source, the market is classified into wood and non-wood. Based on type, the market is classified into thermoformed, processed, thick wall, and transfer. Based on end-use, the market is classified into food packaging, food service, electronics, healthcare, and others. The growing food and beverage industry and potential adoption of sustainable packaging are attributing to the significant share of molded pulp fiber packaging in food packaging. As per the EU Food & Drink Industry, the industry generated a turnover of nearly $1,431 billion in 2017. Growing stringent regulations on single-use plastics has led to the demand for highly sustainable packaging alternatives for food packaging in the region.
Some prominent players in the market include Brødrene Hartmann A/S, Huhtamaki OYJ, Sonoco Products Co., Heinzel Group, and Novolex (Eco Products Inc.). These market players are focusing on increasing their competitiveness by using some strategies such as mergers and acquisitions and product launches. For instance, in January 2020, Heinzel Group declared that it will invest nearly $49.3 million to further widen the pulp manufacturing at its Styrian location in Pöls (Austria). This investment will support the production of up to 100,000 metric tons of brown (unbleached) pulp by the end of 2021. This pulp can be utilized as the basis for brown kraft paper, along with the manufacturing of white (NBSK) pulp in the future.
