Foam Tray Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and after post COVID-19 era. The increasing food safety issues is notably driving the foam tray market growth, although factors such as environmental effects of plastic may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the foam tray industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Foam Tray Market Driver

Increasing food safety issues is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global foam tray market. Food safety issues have been on the rise, turning out to be a growing concern. With the increasing globalization of food supply, the chances of food contamination are high, demanding enhanced food safety systems. These food safety issues arise due to food contamination and deterioration occurring at some point in the supply chain. Contamination can occur due to microbial growth, toxic chemicals, or radioactive substances. This has affected the health of end-users consuming the food due to the presence of potentially harmful bacteria and viruses. One of the reasons for these issues is improper packaging of food items or inappropriate handling during transportation and storage. Proper packaging serves as a defense against external hazards. Hygiene is a major factor to be considered when dealing with food. Food products must be packaged with due consideration to hygiene and sanitation to avoid microbial growth, which when unchecked, limits the shelf-life. Many cases of food poisoning due to food contamination have been reported from different parts of the world.

Key Foam Tray Market Trend

Demand for small-sized or single-serving packs will fuel the global foam tray market growth. The demand for single-serving packaged food has been increasing due to various reasons. The hectic schedules of the working population and the need for adequate quantities of food suiting individual needs are the major factors contributing to the demand for individual packaging. The growing number of single-person households is also affecting the demand for small-sized or single-serving packaging. In addition, there is a significant growth in the demand for convenient food packages in the market. This kind of packaging enables users to store food products for a longer time due to improved shelf life. In addition, small-sized packs require less shelf space when compared with large packs. These benefits enable end-users like merchants to stock more products due to the added feature of less space requirement. These trends are expected to affect the foam tray market positively through customized and single-serving packs catering to customer requirements. Single serving packs are the growing trend in the packaging market as not only do they prevent food wastage but also meet individual needs.

Key Foam Tray Market Challenge

The environmental effects of plastic are the major challenge for the global foam tray market growth. Plastics are produced from petroleum and natural gases, which are non-renewable resources extracted using energy-intensive processes that harm the ecosystem. The process of manufacturing plastics pollutes the environment and affects the health of the workers exposed to chemicals like carcinogens. In addition, the production of plastics results in the emission of harmful gases like sulfur oxides, nitrous oxides, methanol, and ethylene oxide, among others. Moreover, foam trays made out of plastic are easily disposable. This is an advantage because of its ease and convenience. However, it has a major drawback of being a major source of landfills. Since the foam trays are non-biodegradable, they remain in the environment for a long span of time. Another disadvantage of plastics is the addition of chemical additives for color, anti-oxidant features, and heat stabilization. The anti-oxidants added to the plastic for resistance against acid contents slow down the degradation process in plastics.
