A wave of capacity expansion rises, as the pulp molding industry accelerates its layout at home and abroad.

Driven by the deepening of global plastic restriction policies and the surging demand for eco-friendly packaging by late April 2026, the pulp molding industry has ushered in a new round of capacity expansion boom. Domestic manufacturers continue to increase investment in intelligent production bases and accelerate global layout overseas, building a production capacity system featuring solid domestic operation and global market penetration, which greatly speeds up the large-scale and global development of the industry.

Domestically, industrial clustering and intelligent upgrading have become the core development trends. New intelligent production bases are under construction in regions including East and Northwest China. These projects focus on energy conservation and digital production, adopting advanced systems such as intelligent air supply, unmanned quality inspection and waste heat recovery to cut overall energy consumption, with the annual output of a single production line exceeding 10,000 tons.

Equipped with full-automatic high-speed equipment, the new production lines realize full-process automation from forming and trimming to inspection and packaging, catering to mass production of tableware, cup lids, industrial buffer packaging and other products to meet the growing demands of catering, e-commerce, electronics and other industries. With the phase-out of backward production capacity, domestic capacity utilization keeps rising, consolidating the foundation for high-quality industrial development.

Overseas layout has also entered a fast track. Relying on technological and cost advantages, enterprises focus on Southeast Asia, North America and other key regions to bypass trade barriers and seize incremental market shares. Large-scale overseas production bases have reached stable production with high operating rates. In North America, enterprises focus on high-end customized pulp molding products to access local mainstream supply chains.

The current capacity expansion responds to market demands and strengthens industrial competitiveness. With the continuous advancement of domestic intelligent renovation and overseas deployment, the pulp molding industry will further expand its global influence and move toward high-end development driven by technological innovation.
