Pulp molding has a wide range of applications, including food packaging, electronic product packaging, tableware, industrial packaging, medical packaging, etc. In China, tableware is the main application scenario of pulp molding. Pulp molding has the characteristics of simple manufacturing, wide source of raw materials, environmental protection and pollution-free, small size, and easy transportation. In recent years, as environmental protection supervision has become increasingly strict and the demand for straw processing has increased, the application of pulp molding has been expanding, and the scale of the industry has also expanded. .

According to the “2022-2026 China Pulp Molding Industry Market Supply and Demand Status and Development Trend Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, In 2021, the global pulp molding market will reach more than US$4.58 billion. It is expected that the global pulp molding market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of about 7.0% from 2022 to 2026.

In recent years, the Chinese government has issued a number of favorable policies to promote the development of the pulp molding industry, such as the “Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Commerce on Further Strengthening Plastic Pollution Control in the Commercial Sector”, “Notice on Solidly Promoting Plastic Pollution Control”, ” Opinions on Further Strengthening the Control of Plastic Pollution”, etc. Driven by policies, the demand in the pulp molding market continues to be released, and the development of the industry is upgrading in the direction of standardization, low-carbonization, and high-end.

In 2021, my country’s pulp molding industry has a production capacity of approximately 1.58 million tons, and there are more than 500 manufacturing companies. Among them, the larger companies include Yutong Technology, Huilin Packaging, Chemical Environmental Protection, Jinsheng Environmental Protection, Zhongxin Environmental Protection, etc. my country’s pulp molding enterprises are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises. Due to the limited technical level of enterprises, the homogeneity of domestic pulp molding is serious, and the competition in the middle and low-end markets is fierce.

From the perspective of enterprise distribution, my country’s pulp molding enterprises are mainly distributed in Hebei, Northeast, Guangdong and other regions. my country is a major producer of pulp molding. While its production capacity meets domestic market demand, it is also exported to the United States, Vietnam, Australia and other countries. With domestic technological progress and production capacity expansion, our country will occupy an increasingly important position in the international market.

Industry analysts said that pulp molding has a wide range of applications. With the gradual advancement of environmental protection policies, the demand for pulp molding market will be further released. , the industry has good development prospects. my country is a major producer of pulp molding, but the enterprises are mainly small and medium-sized, and the competition in the mid- to low-end market is fierce. In the future, under the background of escalating demand and intensified market competition, the pulp molding market will continue to have technology, products, channels, scale, etc. Advantageous enterprises gather.
