Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst plastic type, polypropylene segment holds the major share.”
Based on plastic type, heavy gauge and thin gauge thermoformed plastics market is divided into polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene, poly vinyl chloride, bioplastics, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, and others. Among all, polypropylene holds a lucrative market share due to its high melting point, low water absorption capacity, high flexibility, and it is highly resistant to chemicals. Furter, it is a thermoplastic polymer that is one of the most widely used plastics worldwide due to its low manufacturing cost.
“Amongst thermoforming type, vacuum forming held lucrative market share in 2020.”
Based on thermoforming type, heavy gauge and thin gauge thermoformed plastics market in divided into vacuum, mechanical, and pressure forming. Among all, vacuum forming holds considerable market share as it is the simplest method of polypropylene thermoforming which is widely used type of thermoformed plastic. Once the plastic is heated and fitted around the custom tool, a high-powered vacuum removes air and draws the plastic more tightly against the tool. This method is best for plastic components that don’t require sharp edges, defined corners, or intricate details, such as car dashboards and shipping trays.
