A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Plastic Pallets Market Driver
- The benefits associated with the use of plastic pallets is one of the key drivers fueling the market growth.
- Plastic pallets offer higher durability, reliability, and space efficiency than other types of pallets, such as material (or load) handling equipment. These benefits are driving the adoption of plastic pallets, thereby increasing the revenue generation of the market in focus.
- Wood, plastic, and metal are the three most common types of pallets used as load or material handling equipment. Furthermore, plastic pallets generally cost lesser than wooden or metal pallets.
- Plastic pallets offer better space efficiency in terms of space-saving when they are stacked. They also do not break or develop cracks, thus resulting in higher durability.
- Plastic pallets can accommodate more types of goods, having different shapes and sizes, compared with wooden or metal pallets because plastic pallets are flexible in terms of design. In addition, they are safer to handle as they do not have sharp edges and fixed construction. These factors play a crucial role in driving the growth of the market in focus.
Key Plastic Pallets Market Trend
- Manufacturing plastic pallets using 100% recyclable plastics is one of the key market trends propelling market growth.
- Vendors have been working on increasing the number of plastic pallets manufactured from 100% recyclable plastics. This is owing to the continuous focus on reducing carbon footprint and environmental pollution. It has a high energy-saving potential, which can be attained through intrinsic recyclability.
- Most of the prominent vendors operating in the global market are working on manufacturing 100% environmentally sustainable plastic pallets.
- Prominent vendors are using 100% recyclable business plastic and household waste plastics to differentiate their plastic pallet offerings and minimize carbon footprint. Meanwhile, the focus is on reducing energy consumption and minimal emission of carbon dioxide during the manufacturing process of plastic pallets. Thus, the use of 100% recyclable plastic to manufacture plastic pallets not only helps in environmental sustainability but also ensures cost optimization.
Key Plastic Pallets Market Challenge
- Regulatory norms and standards on the use of plastic pallets is one of the factors limiting the market growth.
- The use of plastic pallets in specific industries is governed by regulatory norms to ensure compliance with the required safety norms and environmental sustainability. These regulatory norms are evident in the food processing and packaging industry.
- In the US, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) formulated certain standards for food processing, handling, and transportation. The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is a set of regulations that are aimed at preventing food contamination by bacteria, chemicals, and other harmful external agents. This also suggests that the players operating in the food processing industry in the US should use sanitary food transportation equipment.
- The engagement of market vendors in corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities is of the utmost importance to understanding vendors' contribution toward carbon footprint. Vendors should also ensure the minimum use of hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and polybrominated biphenyls in plastic pallet manufacturing. Such regulatory standards pose design and manufacturing constraints for vendors operating in the market, thereby acting as a market inhibitor.
