Restraints:

High Cost of Wood and Risk of insects and fire:

Wood is the most common material used for manufacturing pallets. Market players prefer wood pallets, wood pallets are very easy to handle. However, wood pallets are more costly than plastic and metal pallets. Also wood has the risk of insect infections and risk of fire. According to the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics IML wooden pallets are relatively heavy, the pallet can absorb water, cannot be easily cleaned, and requires maintenance, due to deformation, production of sawdust, and corrosion of screws, this will hamper the growth of the market. By reducing the high cost of wood and by recycling wood and by managing the risk of insects and fire can counter this factor of global pallet market.
