The global market for Engineered Molded Wood Pallets was valued at US$ 3049 million in the year 2024 and is projected to reach a revised size of US$ 4648 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period.
Engineered molded wood pallets are made by molding damaged logs, wood waste and other wood by-products into new export pallets. It is also possible to use less energy and recycle wood products for the environment. Nested engineered molded wood pallets save space, leaving more room for product, and the pallets can be reused for long periods of time.
The expansion of the market can be attributed to the high demand for e-commerce shipping, logistics, and building and construction, which is expected to drive the demand for molded wooden pallets. Wooden pallets are the first line of defense in ensuring that the packaging is secure enough to transport the product to its destination. High-quality wooden pallets are best suited for lifting large volumes of product during transport, optimizing costs in case of damage or contamination. It also prevents any injuries that may occur due to overloading of the workforce. Shippers choose pallets that meet global shipping needs in an efficient manner. Shipments where space is scarce and require full-size as well as small-size pallets drive the growth of the molded wood pallets market. Instead of focusing on reducing costs, shippers are focusing on packaging that is tough, high tensile strength, durable, lightweight and resistant to high temperatures. Shipping efficiency and safe shipping play a vital role in the supply chain. As far as manufacturing is concerned, secure packaging is critical to improving shipping quality. The introduction of RFID tags for pallet tracking makes it easy to operate security surveillance systems as well as automated inventory and warehouse management. With the increasing usage of RFID tags in the global pallet industry, the consumption of pallets is expected to increase in the coming years. The electronics industry has caused considerable change in the packaging industry, thus sparking manufacturers" interest in using RFID tags in pallets. Increased use of packaging solutions, offering convenience, and better efficiency than other pallets is expected to drive the demand for molded wooden pallets. According to Interreg Europe, the European regional development fund, 1,793,748 tonnes of wood are recycled each year, 62% of which is used in the packaging industry. European governments and associations provide €22 million per year to co-finance all collection and recycling activities. Molded wood pallets or pressed wood pallets are ISPM-15 compliant which makes them more popular than other pallets. Solid wood pallets should be shipped to National Wood Pallet and Container Association standards for safe shipping. The global demand for molded wood pallets is expected to increase over the forecast period owing to the reusable and recyclable nature of the product.
