Benefiting from the global “plastic ban” trend and rising environmental awareness, the global pulp molding market is entering a phase of accelerated expansion, with its market size continuing to grow. Among them, the Asia-Pacific region, thanks to robust demand and strong production capacity advantages, has become the core driver of global market growth. Data shows that in 2022, the global pulp molding market reached approximately US$8.411 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 9.42%. The market is projected to surpass US$12 billion by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8% from 2020 to 2025. In terms of regional distribution, the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, and North America constitute the world’s three major core markets. Among these, the Asia-Pacific region accounts for 45% of the global market share and leads the world in growth rate. On the policy front, major global economies have successively introduced “plastic ban” policies, providing strong support for the growth of the pulp molding market. The European Union’s “plastic ban” requires that by 2025, more than 60% of packaging be biodegradable, explicitly prohibiting the use of single-use plastic tableware, straws, and other such products. Regions such as California and New York State in the U.S. have also enacted stringent plastic restriction policies, encouraging the food service industry to adopt eco-friendly alternative materials. Southeast Asian countries like Thailand and Malaysia have also stepped up efforts in recent years to tackle plastic pollution, introducing relevant policies that promote the use of biodegradable packaging such as pulp molding. The implementation of these policies has significantly boosted global demand for pulp molding products.
