US-Blow Moulding Market - By Material Types 

High-density polyethylene held the largest market share in the US-blow moulding market in 2021 with a market share of up to 45%. HDPE is a chemically inert material that offers easy and cost-effective processing. This type of material also provides a superior moisture barrier and allows the production of excellent hollow packaging products. Owing to such diverse properties, market players are developing more high-density polyethylene-based products. For instance, in October 2020, US-based Berry Global that deals with blow moulding, introduced its new high-density polyethylene flip-top tube closure. Such increasing uses of high-density polyethylene will increase its uses in the forecast period. 

US-Blow Moulding Market - By Application 

The snack foods application segment held the largest market share in the US-blow moulding market in 2021 with a market share of 22%. Blow moulding finds its massive utilization in the manufacturing of plastic containers and bags for the packaging of a wide variety of snack foods such as cereal bars, potato chips, crackers, etc. The snack foods demand is increasing in the US as people are indulging more in snacking. As per the April 2021 report by Packaging Corporation of America, the appetite of consumers in the US has changed as people are more engaging in snacking appetite more post the pandemic. Similarly, as per the 2020 annual report by the US-based food manufacturing company Kellogg’s, the company’s net sales growth is driven owing to increased demand for food products that include snack foods. Such massive demand for snack foods is expected to augment the higher requirement of blow moulding for manufacturing plastic bottles and containers to pack the snack foods and in turn, this will contribute to the market’s growth in the forecast period. 

US-Blow Moulding Market - By End Use Industry 

The food & beverage industry held the largest market share in the US-blow moulding market in 2021 with a market share of 40%. The high demand for blow moulding is attributed to the rising food & beverage industry in the country. Blow moulding such as injection moulding and extrusion blow moulding are extensively used for the manufacturing of several plastic containers and bottles for packing various food items. The food & beverage industry in the country is booming with increasing production and consumption. For instance, as per the data by the US Economic Research Service (ERS), expenditure in the food at home segment increased in 2020, reaching US$ 1800 billion dollars. Similarly, as per the data by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the combined sales of alcoholic beverages in Canada and the United States in 2019 stood at USD 309.1 billion, out of which retail sales in the US were valued at USD 260.2 billion. Such massive growth in the food & beverage industry in the US is expected to increase the higher uses of blow moulding for the manufacturing of several plastic containers and this will drive the market’s growth in the forecast period. 

US-Blow Moulding Market Drivers 

Booming household sector will drive the market’s growth 

The US accounts for one of the largest markets for household care products. The increasing concern for hygiene among consumers in the country is increasing the demand for household care products. Blow moulding finds its massive uses in the manufacturing of several plastic bottles and containers for packing and storing of household products and the increasing household sector in the country will drive the market’s growth in the forecast period. For instance, as per the April 2020 data by McKinsey, the demand for cleaning supplies doubled in March 2020 owing to the shift in consumer behaviour during the pandemic. Similarly, as per the October 2021 survey by the American Cleaning Institute (ACI), 70% of people in the US stated cleaning and disinfecting their home is the best way for ensuring safety environment for their family members. This increasing demand for household care products and increasing awareness about cleanliness among US consumers is anticipated to increase the higher requirement of blow moulding and this is expected to contribute to the blow moulding market’s growth during the forecast period. 

Expanding food & beverage industry will drive the market’s growth 

Blow moulding is an integral process in the food & beverage industry where manufacturing processes such as injection moulding and extrusion blow moulding is used for the manufacturing of diverse plastic containers and jars for packing a wide range of food items. The food & beverage industry is expanding in the country and this will propel the market’s growth. For instance, according to the report by the US Economic Research Service, the food at home segment held the maximum shares of total food expenditures in 2020 in the US. Similarly, as per the December 2021 report by census.gov, exports of alcoholic beverages (excluding wine) stood at US$ 168 million in October 2021 which was US$ 146 million in September 2021. Such increasing growth in the food & beverage sector is expected to stimulate the higher use of blow moulding for the manufacturing of various plastic containers and this will contribute to the blow moulding market’s growth during the forecast period. 

US-Blow Moulding Market Challenges 

Fluctuation in the prices of raw materials might hamper the market’s growth 

The blow moulding process involves raw materials such as polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate which are petroleum-derived. The prices of these materials are fluctuating owing to the fluctuation in the price of petroleum and this might hamper the market’s growth during the forecast period. As per the report by ourworldindata.org, the price of crude oil in 2017 was USD 54.19 per barrel which jumped to USD 64.21 per barrel in 2019. The oil price again plunged to USD 41.84 per barrel in 2020. Such fluctuating oil prices created volatility in the price of petroleum which in turn is fluctuating the prices of the raw materials. This fluctuation in the raw material prices might affect the growth of the US-Blow moulding market in the forecast period.
