Market Segmentation
Eggs are a rich source of high-quality proteins. Eggs contain several minerals and vitamins that are an essential part of a healthy diet. Egg white has over half of an egg's proteins and vitamin B2. Eggs are an incredible source of selenium, vitamins B12, B6, and D, and minerals such as iron, zinc, and copper. In addition, egg yolks are a source of fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, E, D, and K and lecithin. According to various studies, eating eggs regularly can increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL), commonly known as good cholesterol, and lower heart disease risk.
Eggs are packaged in molded pulp trays and clamshells and then sold to restaurants, food service operators, and individual buyers. In addition, per capita egg consumption is increasing every year in the world. Thus, the rising consumption of eggs, owing to the expanding population, associated health benefits, and increasing demand for higher protein intake, is anticipated to drive the demand for molded pulp packaging products, thereby propelling market growth.
The rising consumption of eggs has increased the production of eggs. The graph below represents the total production of eggs in the world in the year 2020. Eggs are packed in plastic and molded pulp trays and clamshells, which are further sold to retail chains and food service operators. The U.S., Netherlands, and Turkey are among the top exporters of eggs in the world. Molded pulp packaging can also be used for storing and transporting eggs, which is expected to drive the market over the forecast period.
Plastic is one of the major materials used for packaging in various industries, including food and beverage, healthcare, cosmetics and personal care, and consumer goods. However, plastic is a non-biodegradable, unsustainable material and can hurt the life of humans as well as animals. In addition, the recycling rate of plastic waste products is lower than the consumption rate, which ultimately pollutes land, ocean, and drinking water. According to the UN, 300 million tons of plastic waste is generated every year globally, which is nearly equivalent to the weight of the global human population.
To curb this humongous amount of plastic waste generated annually, many regulatory bodies and governments around the world have imposed restrictions on the generation of primary plastic waste over the years. For instance, several cities, states, and countries have voted to ban a range of single-use plastics to curb plastic pollution, which is projected to impact the growth of the molded pulp packaging market positively.
Although pulp is a sustainable material for manufacturing packaging solutions, it can be substituted by bioplastics as these offer superior properties such as aesthetic appeal and moisture barrier, among others, as compared to molded pulp. Bioplastics are derived from renewable sources such as cellulose, starch, vegetable fats, and vegetable oils, among others. Bioplastics may or may not be biodegradable and can be bio-based or fossil-based. Bioplastics such as polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and polybutylene succinate (PBS) are bio-based biodegradable plastics. Packaging products manufactured using these bioplastics are substitutes for various molded pulp packaging products. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester derived from renewable sources such as sugarcane, corn starch, tapioca roots, chips, or starch. It is one of the largest consumed bioplastics across the globe in terms of volume. PLA offers several advantages, such as biodegradability, compostability, recyclability, and non-toxicity.

A three-pronged approach was followed for deducing the molded pulp packaging market estimates and forecasts. The process has three steps: information procurement, analysis, and validation. The whole process is cyclical, and steps repeat until the estimates are validated. The three steps are explained in detail below:
Information procurement: Information procurement is one of the most extensive and important stages in our research process, and quality data is critical for accurate analysis. We followed a multi-channel data collection process for molded pulp packaging market to gather the most reliable and current information possible.
Analysis: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilized different methods of molded pulp packaging market data depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.
Market Research Efforts: Bottom-up Approach for estimating and forecasting demand size and opportunity, top-down Approach for new product forecasting and penetration, and combined approach of both Bottom-up and Top-down for full coverage analysis.
Value-Chain-Based Sizing & Forecasting: Supply-side estimates for understanding potential revenue through competitive benchmarking, forecasting, and penetration modeling.
Demand-side estimates for identifying parent and ancillary markets, segment modeling, and heuristic forecasting.
Qualitative Functional Deployment (QFD) Modelling for market share assessment.
Market formulation and validation: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilize different methods of data analysis depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.
Market Formulation: This step involves the finalization of market numbers. This step on an internal level is designed to manage outputs from the Data Analysis step.
Data Normalization: The final market estimates and forecasts are then aligned and sent to industry experts, in-panel quality control managers for validation.
This step also entails the finalization of the report scope and data representation pattern.
Validation: The process entails multiple levels of validation. All these steps run in parallel, and the study is forwarded for publishing only if all three levels render validated results.
The molded pulp packaging market was categorized into five segments, namely source (Wood Pulp, Non-wood Pulp), molded type (Thick Wall, Transfer, Thermoformed, Processed), product (Trays, End Caps, Bowls & Cups, Clamshells, Plates), end-use (Food Packaging, Food Service, Electronics, Healthcare, Industrial), and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Central & South America, and Middle East & Africa)
The molded pulp packaging market was segmented into source, molded type, product, end-use, and regions. The demand at a segment level was deduced using a funnel method.
