The thermoformed cellulose packaging market is growing quickly and is expected to generate hundreds of millions in revenue between 2025 and 2034, supporting a shift toward sustainable transportation. Key companies in the market are actively pursuing mergers and acquisitions to improve technology for making thermoformed cellulose packaging. This type of packaging is made from renewable materials like recycled paper or natural fibers and is shaped into rigid or semi-rigid forms using heat and pressure. The market is gaining strong momentum as demand rises for sustainable, compostable, and plastic-free packaging, especially in foodservice, electronics, cosmetics, and protective packaging.
