Report ID : 1682 | Published : 2023-04-03 | Pages: 180 | Format: PDF/EXCEL

The Global Corrugated Boxes Market Size is valued at 62.67 billion in 2022 and is predicted to reach 90.37 billion by the year 2031 at a 4.29% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.

Corrugated boxes are disposable containers made by joining three layers of corrugated cardboard sheets together. They are lightweight, flexible, biodegradable, recyclable, and cost-effective, and they aid in the protection of fragile objects during transportation. They remain intact when exposed to unfavorable conditions such as moisture and abrupt temperature changes. Furthermore, they help to reduce the danger of microbial contamination and extend the shelf life of items. As a result, corrugated boxes are widely used in a variety of industries for effective product packaging. Furthermore, increased R&D initiatives to update and improve the chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and other qualities of corrugated boxes are broadening their applications.

Corrugated Boxes Market

However, people were not permitted to leave their homes during the lockdown in all countries, but due to an increase in consumer goods consumption, demand for e-commerce products has skyrocketed, resulting in an increased need for corrugated packaging as home delivery was the only option left for the people. The rise in online grocery stores, personal hygiene and home cleaning products, and baby supplies with home delivery services has raised the demand for corrugated packaging in all nations throughout the epidemic. 

Recent Developments:

  • In May 2022, Mondi announced an investment of EUR 280 million to enhance corrugated board and cardboard production. This investment will aid in the expansion of capacity and efficiency in the Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, and Turkey. EUR 185 million of this investment will proceed to the company's network of Corrugated Solutions plants in Central and Eastern Europe.

Market Segmentation:

The corrugated boxes market is segmented based on material, printing ink, printing technology, type, and end-use. Based on material, the market is segmented as liner board, medium, and others. The printing ink segment includes water-based ink, UV-curable ink, holt melt-based inks, and solvent-based inks. By printing technology, the market is segmented into flexography, lithography, and digital printing. The type segment includes slotted boxes, telescope boxes, rigid boxes, and folder boxes. The end-use industry segment includes food & beverages, electronic goods, home & personal care, chemicals, textile, glassware & ceramics, paper products, and others.

Based On Material, The Liner Board Segment Is Accounted As A Major Contributor In The Corrugated Boxes Market

The liner board category is expected to hold a major share of the global corrugated boxes market in 2021. Due to its great strength and moisture resistance, it is utilized as an outer and intermediate ply in corrugated boxes. They are primarily used to produce high-quality color-printed corrugated boxes for the food and beverage industries, home and personal care, and other industries.

The Slotted Box Segment Witnessed Growth At A Rapid Rate

The slotted box segment is projected to grow at a rapid rate in the global corrugated boxes market. They are often constructed from a single piece of corrugated board that has been swapped, glued, and taped. The slotted box is a well-designed product that produces less waste during the manufacturing process. It is great for shipping a wide range of items, such as mugs, cups, and books.

In The Region, The Asia Pacific Corrugated Boxes Market Holds A Significant Revenue Share

Asia Pacific corrugated boxes market is expected to register the highest market share in terms of revenue in the near future. The existence of densely populated nations like China and India, as well as increasing urbanization and spending power, will assist the growth of the packaging business in the Asia Pacific and, therefore, corrugated boards. Increasing environmental consciousness and the need for greener packaging solutions in the region will propel the market forward. Furthermore, government moves in nations such as India to restrict plastic-based packaging would shift the focus to paper packaging. Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) and investments in a variety of packaging projects in Asian countries are expected to rise rapidly. Furthermore, economic and industrial advancements in Europe would establish a solid foundation for corrugated board demand growth in the region throughout the projection period.
