Market Dynamics:

Drivers-

The paper and paperboard packaging market are increasing driven by key factors. The booming e-commerce industry is increasing demand for corrugated packaging due to its cost-effectiveness and sustainability, with a shift away from plastic. Global consumption of packaged food is also rising, boosting the need for robust and recyclable paper packaging solutions. Additionally, growth in the electrical and electronics sector is expanding opportunities for compact-sized product packaging. Heightened consumer awareness and regulatory pressures against single-use plastics further reinforce the market's shift towards eco-friendly paper-based alternatives.

This necessitates continuous innovation in paper-based packaging to match these attributes. Balancing packaging performance with sustainability is crucial, especially in protecting sensitive products and ensuring a longer shelf life while minimizing environmental impact. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and managing environmental footprints during production and recycling processes remain key challenges for enhancing the overall sustainability of paper packaging solutions.
