Policy Dividends Continue to Release, Pulp Molding Equipment Market Witnesses Explosive Growth

Preface:

Under the global "dual carbon" goal, the replacement of plastics with degradable packaging has become an irreversible trend. The pulp molding equipment industry, driven by policies and market demand, has entered a golden period of development. This article analyzes the core growth logic to provide reference for industry enterprises.

I. Multi-dimensional Policy Efforts to Build a Policy Highland for Industry Development

Domestic and foreign environmental protection policies exert multi-dimensional efforts from regulations, taxation and finance, and standards, forming a "hard constraint + flexible incentive" combination to escort the industry.

The upgraded "plastic ban" in China covers 14 provinces, forcing the replacement in catering, e-commerce and other fields, and spawning huge demand. In 2026, pulp molding equipment was included in the Catalog of Environmental Protection Special Equipment, enjoying a 10% tax credit for purchase. The supporting "green equipment loan" with a 20% interest rate reduction reduces the procurement cost for enterprises. The environmental credit evaluation mechanism further forces traditional enterprises to upgrade, and more than 37% of non-compliant production lines in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other regions have been rectified.

Internationally, the EU SUP Directive requires the elimination of all disposable plastic packaging by 2026, releasing 2.3 billion euros of equipment demand; Turkey's new regulations mandate compliance certification for food packaging, otherwise EU market access will be lost. International policies not only drive local demand but also open up space for Chinese equipment enterprises to go global.

 

II. Explosive Market Demand, Multi-field Drives Surge in Equipment Demand

The superposition of policy dividends and the awakening of consumers' environmental awareness make the pulp molding equipment market show the explosive characteristics of "total volume expansion, structural upgrading and global volume release".

In terms of market size, the global market reached 2.5 billion US dollars in 2024, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.5% from 2026 to 2032; China's total output value is expected to reach 18.5 billion yuan in 2025, with export volume exceeding 4.2 billion yuan. Food, electronics and medical care are the core tracks: McDonald's and other enterprises are promoting plastic-free packaging, driving equipment demand up by 40%; Apple and other companies are using pulp molding to replace traditional plastic packaging, and the annual demand in the smartphone field reaches 770,000 tons; the medical packaging market will exceed 5 billion yuan by 2030, driving the development of high-end equipment.

Regionally, the domestic market forms a pattern of "eastern agglomeration and central-western rise", with East China accounting for 41.5%, and South China and Southwest China growing at a rate of over 13%; the Asia-Pacific region contributes 60% of the global market growth. European market demand is strong driven by policies, and North American market demand grows annually driven by e-commerce green packaging standards, forming a global growth pattern.

 

Conclusion: 

Driven by both policy and market, the pulp molding equipment industry has entered an explosive growth period. In the future, efficient, intelligent, flexible and environmentally friendly equipment will be more competitive. Enterprises need to seize the policy dividends, focus on technological innovation and global layout, accurately match the needs of subdivided fields, and grasp the development opportunities.
