CLEVELAND, April 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new Freedonia Group analysis projects global demand for packaging machinery to advance to expand 5.8% per year through 2026 to $71.1 billion. Although from a small base, thermoforming machinery is expect to outperform most other product types:
- Thermoforming is the process of heating thin plastic film or sheets and then forming them into various shapes.
- Thermoforming equipment used in packaging applications is generally used to produce vacuum, blister, skin, MAP/CAP, and other film based shaped packages.
- These machines differ from form-fill-seal equipment because they form the packaging material themselves, giving them greater capabilities and versatility.
Through 2026, demand for thermoforming equipment will be boosted by rapidly rising demand for blister, skin, and clamshell packaging due to their ability to extent the shelf-life and preserve the appearance of such products as meats, poultry, and seafood.
However, the high cost of thermoforming packaging equipment and its limited availability is some parts of the world will prevent the segment from registering larger gains.
