Fluted Polypropylene Sheets Market Segmentation
The fluted polypropylene sheets market is segmented based on product type, Application, and geography.
Market segmentation based on Product Type
Based on product type, the fluted polypropylene sheets market is segmented into general and functional types. As per the revenue, the functional type held the largest market share in 2021 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR rate during the forecast period. This can be attributed to multiple usages and increased adoption among people leading to a huge consumer base.
The functional type of polypropylene sheets is preferable to the conventional ones due to their multiple layers, corrugated design pattern, and flexible design, which are used in various industries. A dense design makes the functional type sheets more reliable and thick, which boosts the market growth for functional type segments. Such properties enhance the market growth for functional segments. Furthermore, easy transportation due to the lightweight properties boosts the market growth for functional type segments. The fluted propylene sheets are widely used in various industries such as textile, food packaging, advertising, chemical, and semiconductor.
Market segmentation by Application
Based on the Application, the fluted polypropylene sheets market is bifurcated into package boxes, cushion plates, printing plates & billboards, and others. The package box segment has dominated the market share with a consumption of 36.7% in 2021 and is expected to maintain its market position during the forecast period. The package box item is widely used in the market for various purposes. Package box items have huge demand due to their reliability and multi-purpose usage.
The sheet material used for packaging is lightweight, making the transportation process easier, but they are strong and stiff, preventing the package from outside pressure and other types of disturbances. The fluted polypropylene package boxes are more reliable than the conventional boxes in terms of durability, strength, malleability, conductive surface, etc., which makes the customization process more convenient, and is widely preferred by most manufacturers. Furthermore, the extensive usage of fluted polypropylene sheets in various industries leads to the market’s growth of the package box segment.
