Plastic segment held the highest market share in 2023 

By material, the plastic segment held the highest market share in 2023, accounting for more than two-thirds of the global thermoform packaging market revenue and is estimated to maintain its leadership status during the forecast period. Plastics provide excellent barrier properties that protect products from moisture, light, oxygen, and contaminants, thus extending shelf life, particularly for perishable items. This is especially significant for food packaging, where maintaining freshness and safety is paramount. In addition, plastic thermoform packaging is lightweight, reducing transportation costs and overall carbon emissions during distribution. This dual benefit of protection and lightweight construction solidifies plastic's role as a packaging material of choice.

Blister packaging segment is expected to lead the trail by 2033 

Based on type, the blister packaging segment held the highest market share in 2023, accounting for less than two-fifths of the global thermoform packaging market revenue and is estimated to dominate during the forecast period. Blister packs offer clear visibility of the product, which increases consumer trust and influences purchasing decisions. The ability to incorporate graphics, branding elements, and secure designs has made blister packaging highly desirable in competitive markets such as personal care, electronics, and consumer goods. The versatility, coupled with effective marketing potential, ensures blister packaging's continued relevance and growth in the thermoform packaging market. 

Solvent-based segment maintains its dominance by 2033 

By heat sealing coating, the solvent-based segment held the highest market share in 2023, accounting for more than half of the global thermoform packaging market revenue and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. Advancements in packaging technology are boosting the demand for high-performance coatings. Thermoform packaging is used across multiple industries beyond food, such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, and consumer goods, where reliable and secure seals are essential. The high adhesion and heat resistance properties of solvent-based heat sealing coatings make them ideal for such diverse applications, providing flexibility to manufacturers in designing complex packaging shapes and ensuring optimal performance across various environments. 

Food & beverage segment is expected to lead the trail by 2033 

By end-use industry, the food & beverage segment held the highest market share in 2023, accounting for less than two-fifths of the global thermoform packaging market revenue and is estimated to maintain its leadership status during the forecast period. Thermoforming offers faster production cycles, lower tooling costs compared to other packaging techniques such as injection molding, and greater design versatility. Manufacturers quickly adapt their production lines to meet changing market demands, reduce lead times, and offer custom solutions. This adaptability supports product differentiation in the highly competitive food and beverage market and provides significant cost savings, while maintaining the high-quality standards demanded by consumers. 

Asia-Pacific is expected to grow faster throughout the forecast period 

Based on region, Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing region in terms of revenue in 2023, representing 4.8% of the CAGR. The healthcare and pharmaceutical industries in Asia-Pacific are seeing rapid growth, driven by rise in aging population, increasing health awareness, and advancements in medical technology. Thermoform packaging provides an ideal solution for packaging pharmaceutical products, medical devices, and diagnostic kits, offering both protection and compliance with stringent regulations. The versatility of thermoform packaging in creating custom-shaped, sterile, and secure containers plays a significant role in supporting the growth of this sector.
