The growth of multinational fast-food chains is notably driving the clamshell packaging market growth, although factors such as ban on expanded polystyrene (EPS) clamshell containers may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the clamshell packaging industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Clamshell Packaging Market Driver

• One of the key factors driving the global clamshell packaging industry growth is the growth of multinational fast-food chains.
• The growth of multinational fast-food brands is increasing the adoption of low-cost and convenient packaging materials, including clamshell packaging.
• In May 2022, Jubilant Foodworks Ltd., the holder of the master franchisee for Domino's Pizza brand in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal, announced that in Q4 2021, the company had launched 80 new restaurants of Domino's Pizza in India.
• In July 2021, Yum Restaurants Indian Pvt. Ltd. (Pizza Hut India) announced the launch of its 500th store in India.
• In January 2021, McDonald's Corp. announced plans to open nearly 500 restaurants in the US and its International Operated Markets segments. These factors will have a positive impact on the growth of the global clamshell packaging market during the forecast period.

Key Clamshell Packaging Market Trend

• Demand for compostable clamshell containers is one of the key clamshell packaging market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. Biomass comprises degradable materials such as corn, wheat, and sugarcane.
• According to a study carried out by the Plant-Based Products Council, in 2020, 60% of consumers in the US preferred plant-based products and packaging.
• Fiber clamshell containers break down sustainably and do not harm the environment. They can be used to hold all kinds of food products, including soups, salads, and gravy. They have a tight lid-fit to seal, which can prevent any spill or leakage during transport.
• Canada Brown Eco Products Ltd. offers bio-based hinged clamshell containers for hot or cold food products.
• US-based Eco-Products Inc. offers renewable and compostable sugarcane clamshell containers that serve as an alternative to traditional petroleum-derived plastics or foam, which will further boost the market growth in the forecast years.

Key Clamshell Packaging Market Challenge

• One of the key challenges to the global clamshell packaging industry growth is the ban on expanded polystyrene (EPS) clamshell containers.
• The ban on EPS foam often referred to as 'Styrofoam,' was signed into law in January 2022 by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
• The law imposed a ban on any single-use packaging materials, including containers, designed to temporarily store and transport foods or beverages. The ban applies to restaurants, food trucks, grocery stores, schools, and hospitals, with some exceptions, such as food pantries.
• Hill and Markes Inc., a wholesale distributor of items such as food packaging clamshells, has reported that the company already started to phase out the sales of EPS foam packaging in 2020 in anticipation of the ban.
• Styrofoam breaks apart easily, is lightweight, and does not readily biodegrade. Due to these factors, it is persistent in the environment and adds to pollution. Such challenges can impede the growth of the global clamshell packaging market during the forecast period.
