What are the challenges facing the pulp molding industry ?
02-08-2024
As an industry with environmental protection advantages, the pulp molding industry is also facing a series of challenges that cannot be ignored in the development process.
First of all, compared with traditional plastic products, pulp molding products are not competitive in terms of cost ( the most important problem facing the whole molding industry at present ). The purchase of raw materials, the energy consumption in the production process and the input of advanced equipment all make the production cost high. This has limited the large-scale expansion of its market to a certain extent.
Technical bottlenecks are also a major obstacle to the development of the industry. Although the pulp molding technology is constantly improving, it still needs to be improved in terms of production efficiency, product quality stability and mold manufacturing accuracy. For example, the dehydration and drying process in the production process requires a lot of energy and time, which affects the production efficiency ; the waterproof and oil-proof performance of the product also needs to be improved.
The relatively low market awareness and acceptance is also a problem. Although pulp molding has the advantage of environmental protection, consumers and enterprises are less aware of it and more sensitive to price in the market promotion, so they are more inclined to choose traditional packaging materials.
Finally, the competition within the industry is also increasingly fierce. As more and more enterprises enter the field of pulp molding, market competition intensifies. Enterprises need to innovate continuously and enhance the added value of products in order to stand out in the competition.
