Market Introduction
The Asia Pacific paper & paperboard trays market is a highly fragmented market with the presence of considerable regional and local players providing numerous solutions for companies investing in the market arena. The consumers across the region widely prefer ordering food through online delivery platforms. For instance, Meituan-Dianping, China’s largest delivery service company, received ~6.4 billion food orders in 2018. With the growth of online food delivery channels, cloud kitchens, and takeaway services in countries such as China and India, the demand for paper and paperboard trays also grows exponentially. Further, due to the rising landfill issues, manufacturers are shifting their preferences toward paper and paperboard packaging from plastic packaging. Governments of countries such as China, Japan, and India are promoting the use of recyclable and reusable packaging materials to reduce the amount of waste generated. Moreover, stringent regulations prohibiting or limiting plastic usage in countries have driven the demand for paper-based packaging materials. Manufacturers of paper and paperboard trays are largely focusing on expanding their operations across Asia Pacific owing to the presence of a large customer base, availability infrastructure and laborers at low costs, abundance of resources, and existence of free trade policies.
India reported the highest number of COVID-19 cases across Asia Pacific, which led to the discontinuation of several businesses, such as paper & paperboard trays manufacturing activities. Also, due to the outbreak, most countries declared a health emergency and stopped unessential movements, thus impacting heavily on the supply chain of goods. Manufacturing facilities hustled to make changes due to the implementation of social distancing norms, which cased disruptions and slowdowns on throughput. Paper and paperboard industry may continue to see weak or broken links in their supply chains, which, in turn, would negatively affect the paper & paperboard trays market growth in the coming years.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The paper & paperboard trays market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow from US$ 2,349.29 million in 2021 to US$ 3,654.74 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2021 to 2028. The factors such as the increasing working population, busy lifestyles, rapid urbanization, and changing taste preferences have generated a great demand for ready-to-eat food products. Moreover, the demand for these products has risen steeply during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has encouraged food manufacturers to come up with a wide range of packaging innovations. Ovenable packaging is among the most progressive innovation in this segment. Ovenable paper and paper-board trays are used to provide chilled, fresh, and frozen ready-to-eat meals at both the retail and foodservice levels. Lightweight, good thermal conductivity, strong performance, temperature resistance, and optimal barrier properties make them feasible and preferable packaging solutions over packaging options such as Crystallized Polyethylene Terephthalate (CPET) and polypropylene plastic trays. Ovenable paper and paper-board trays are available in a variety of shapes and sizes with different closing alternatives such as peelable and non-peelable films, or non-peelable and perforated tear-off paperboard lids. Moreover, they are sustainable packaging solutions that are easy to recycle. Foodservices, airline catering, and retail food outlets are among the major adopters of ovenable paper and paper-board trays, and the demand is expected to grow in the coming years.
