The global dual-ovenable trays and containers market is expected to grow from USD 2.51 billion in 2025 to USD 3.63 billion by 2034, at a CAGR of 4.08%. This growth is fueled by the increasing demand for convenient, heat-resistant, and eco-friendly packaging, especially in the ready-to-eat and frozen food industries.
Recent Developments by Key Market Players
- In September 2024, Sabert Europe unveiled the dual-ovenable Hot2Go pack, which consists of an optional rPET window and a natural fiber-based body, as a 100% recyclable option for hot food on-the-go. Hot2Go is claimed to be devoid of plastic laminates, it is said to have outstanding insulating qualities and to be resistant to leaks and grease. It promises to be completely recyclable as it is composed of micro-fluted paperboard that has earned the FSC certification. Customers have the option to opt in or out of a window composed of high clarity, recyclable rPET film, and the pack is constructed with integrated tabs for safe sealing. According to Sabert, there is a minimum of 30 percent recycled content guaranteed.
- In August 2022, Confoil and BASF collaborated to create a paper-based meal tray that is both certified biodegradable and dual ovenable. A certified compostable biopolymer that is partially bio-based and specifically designed for coating paper or board food packaging is applied to the inside of the paper tray. The trays can be frozen, cooled, or cooked in microwaves and regular ovens. In order to maintain freshness and flavors, they exhibit exceptional barrier qualities against fats, liquids, and odors. The DualPakECO trays are approved for food contact in accordance with international standards and certified in accordance with the Australian standard AS4736-2006.
