World Pallets
Industry Study with Forecasts for 2017 & 2022
Demand growth will be spurred by a pickup in manufacturing activity -- especially in large, mature
regional markets -- as well as by a shift in the product mix toward higher-priced plastic pallets.
World demand to rise 5%
annually through 2017
Global sales of pallets are projected to
climb 5.0 percent annually through 2017
to 5.1 billion units, an acceleration from
the relatively sluggish pace of the 20072012 period. A pickup in manufacturing
activity will spur across-the-board gains,
especially in large, mature regional
markets such as North America and
Western Europe. Demand will advance
6.8 percent per annum in value terms to
$51.6 billion in 2017, stimulated by
increases in unit sales, as well as by a
shift in the product mix toward higherpriced plastic pallets. The number of
pallets in use will expand at a 4.6
percent annual rate through 2017 to 9.9
billion. Stock growth will be fueled by a
larger global economy requiring more
pallets to accommodate greater shipping
requirements, as well as increased
utilization of pallets in developing
markets.
Plastic pallets to lead gains,
wood to remain dominant
The vast majority of pallets are constructed using wood or plastic, but they
can also be made from metal and
corrugated paper. Demand for plastic
pallets will grow the fastest of any
product type in most national markets
through 2017. Plastic pallets can be
easily cleaned, lending themselves to
use with food, beverages, and other
products where contamination must be
minimized. They also last for many years

and are resistant to damage during
normal use. Additionally, their recyclability and ability to be made from recycled
materials will be attractive to users
seeking to raise the perceived environmental friendliness of their operations.
However, because of their low cost,
wood pallets will continue to dominate
product sales in most areas, representing more than nine-tenths of 2017 global
unit demand.
Asia/Pacific region to
post strongest gains
In industrializing countries, manufacturing output will not be the sole driver of
market advances, however. In these
nations, pallet utilization is typically low
relative to the size of their manufacturing, warehousing, and construction
sectors. Going forward, greater numbers
of potential pallet users will strive to
become more competitive on a global
scale by improving operating efficiencies
and reducing product damage in shipments through the use of pallets. The
Asia/Pacific region, led by China, will
post the strongest unit sales increases of
any regional market, averaging 8.1
percent per year through 2017. This
region will also overtake North America
to become the largest regional market by
2017, when it will account for one-third of
the global total. Sales advances across
the region will be spurred by climbing
manufacturing activity and increased
adoption of pallets by new users.

Pallet shipments from facilities in the UK are forecast to increase
2.4 percent per annum to 158 million units in 2017, recovering from
declines posted between 2007 and 2012 and roughly keeping pace with
domestic sales growth. Local suppliers will benefit from rebounding
domestic demand. On the other hand, timber supplies for lumber pallets will continue to be limited in the UK, inhibiting overall production
increases through 2017.

Protective Packaging
US protective packaging demand is projected to
increase 4.5 percent per year to $6.4 billion in 2018.
E-commerce fulfillment will drive gains for protective
mailers, air pillows and bubble packaging. Insulated
shipping containers will benefit from temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical handling requirements and storage temperature requirements. This study analyzes
the $5.1 billion US protective packaging industry, with
forecasts for 2018 and 2023 by function, market and
product. The study also evaluates company market
share and profiles industry players.
