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. Copyright 2014 The Freedonia Group, Inc.

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.
