成形繊維包装の世界市場（2025年～2035年）

環境にやさしく持続可能な包装材料として、成形パルプとしても知られる成形繊維は、使い捨てプラスチックの代替品としての商業利用が増加しています。成形繊維包装（MFP）は、伝統的にダンネージ、卵パック、カートンの包装に使用されてきましたが、プラスチックに代わる持続可能なものとして、一次包装および二次包装への利用が拡大しています。繊維成形の絶え間ない技術革新は、プラスチックよりもカスタマイズ可能でコスト競争力があると企業が言う新しいタイプの包装を生み出しています。ドライ成形繊維のような新しいユースケースや技術は、発泡スチロールに代わる堆肥化可能な代替品を提供し、さまざまな産業で使用されています。

今日でも、卵パックやその他の食品包装が一般的な例です。食品産業以外では、電子機器やその他の家庭用品の保護包装として、繊維成形の使用が増加しています。木、わら、バガスなどのさまざまな材料から作ることができ、カスタムツールでパルプを希望の形、大きさ、厚さに成形することができます。

MFPは、食品容器、家庭用品、工業用品、電子機器、使い捨て医療用品など、幅広い製品の取り扱いや包装に使用されています。MFPは、出荷時の保護、顧客の利便性、経済的および環境的なさまざまな利点を提供します。成形パルプ製品は、硬質使い捨てプラスチックの持続可能な代替品であり、その用途は食品容器や食器、電子製品包装、農作物苗用の堆肥化可能な容器、医療・健康製品、建築資材、家具などに及びます。革新的なバリアソリューションの開発と繊維系包装への需要の高まりにより、FMCGなどのその他の市場でもMFPの採用が進んでいます。

MFPの原料は通常、生分解性のリグノセルロース系繊維で、古紙、紙紙、段ボール、その他の天然植物繊維が含まれます。MFPはリサイクルや堆肥化が可能で、最終的には生分解されるため、発泡ポリスチレン（EPS）や真空成形ポリエチレンテレフタレート（PET）のような石油を原料とする包装製品に代わる有力な選択肢となります。天然繊維包装製品の市場は10年以上一貫して成長を続けており、成形繊維メーカーは需要の増加に追いつくのに苦労しています。その結果、拡大する市場ニーズに対応するために生産能力の拡大が必要となっています。

当レポートでは、世界の成形繊維包装市場について調査し、この急成長している産業の最新動向、イノベーション、機会を詳細に分析しています。

As a green and sustainable packaging materials, molded fiber, also known as molded pulp, has increased in commercial use as a replacement for single-use plastics. Molded fiber packaging (MFP), traditionally used for packaging dunnage, egg boxes, and cartons, is finding increasing applications in primary and secondary packaging as a sustainable alternative to plastics. Continuous innovations in molded fiber are resulting in new types of packaging that companies say are more customizable and cost-competitive than plastic. Newer use cases and technologies, such as dry molded fiber, offer compostable alternatives to polystyrene foam that are being used in a range of industries.

Today, egg cartons and other food packaging remain common examples. Outside of the food industry, molded fiber is increasingly used as protective packaging for electronics and other household items. It can be made from a variety of materials - including wood, straw and bagasse - and custom tools can shape the pulp into the desired shape, size and thickness.

MFP is used for handling and packaging a wide range of products, including food containers, household items, industrial supplies, electronics, and single-use medical service items. It offers protection during shipment, customer convenience, and various economic and environmental benefits. Molded pulp products are a sustainable substitute for rigid single-use plastics, with applications spanning food containers and tableware, electronic product packaging, compostable containers for agricultural seedlings, medical and health products, building materials, and furniture. The development of innovative barrier solutions and the growing demand for fiber-based packaging have led to the adoption of MFP in other markets, such as FMCG.

The raw materials for MFPs are typically derived from biodegradable lignocellulosic fibers, which include recycled paper, newsprint, cardboard, and other natural planted fibers. MFP is recyclable, compostable, and eventually biodegradable, making it a viable alternative to oil-based packaging products like expanded polystyrene (EPS) or vacuum-formed polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The market for natural fiber packaging products has experienced consistent growth for over a decade, leading to a struggle among molded fiber producers to keep up with the increasing demand. As a result, production capacity expansions have become necessary to meet the growing market needs.
