Molded Fiber Punnets Market Reflect Impressive Growth Rate

Molded Fiber Punnets Market: Introduction and Need of the Product

Molded Fiber Punnets have gained significant attention for packaging application of the food and vegetable products, in the last few years. Molded fiber is a fully compostable and recyclable material. It also possesses lots of advantages over the polymer-based alternatives such as lightweight, freshness retain ability, etc. In developed countries, consumers also now prefer buying products in a recyclable packaging product which ultimately increases the demand for molded fiber punnets. Molded fiber punnets are easily available in the market at a competitive price. It is a fast becoming solution for the retailers and brand owners in the developed market. However, the growth is expected to be slower in the developing countries due to the lack of consumer awareness and the predominance of the plastic-based packaging products. Manufacturers of the molded fiber punnets are focusing on the innovation and development of the new product which possesses higher strength and suitable for the packaging of a wide range of products. In the next few years, molded fiber punnets are expected to outgrow the plastics-based packaging products presently available for the food packaging.
