Top 5 Pallet Companies Worldwide | Leading Manufacturers & Suppliers

The global pallet market reached a value of about USD 97.07 billion in 2024. The market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of about 5.7% in the forecast period of 2025-2034 to reach a value of nearly USD 168.98 Billion by 2034.

Pallets refer to horizontal platforms that support goods and assist in carrying them from one place to another using a front loader or a forklift. They are one of the most common bases employed to stack goods and are generally secured with a stretch wrap, pallet collar, adhesive, or other stabilisation means. They can be manufactured using different materials depending on the application, such as wood, plastic, and metal, among others. As they are relatively stronger than other containers, like plastic wrappers and cardboard boxes, workers can stack heavier objects on a single pallet without breaking them. Owing to these attributes, they are extensively used by many manufacturers and shippers of commercial goods across the globe.

With the rising sales of smartphones, increasing penetration of the internet and growing e-commerce industry, the demand for logistics services is being spurred considerably, which, in turn, is strengthening the growth of the pallet market across the globe. Apart from this, increasing consumer expenditure on housing and infrastructural activities due to the inflating income levels of consumers, in confluence with the rapid urbanisation and industrialisation, is boosting the demand for pallets worldwide.
