How is the Corrugated Board Packaging Market Set to Increase?

The global corrugated board packaging market was worth £157bn in 2015, with packaging produced from nearly 110 million tonnes of containerboard. Corrugated packaging has long been popular in the transit sector, as it is a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly solution for a wide range of goods. The demand for the packaging is set to continue, as it’s expected to increase by 3.6% each year from 2016-2021.

Cost is a key factor influencing the growth in the corrugated packaging industry. Emerging economies will drive an increase in the production of corrugated packaging, alongside factors including urbanisation and the fact that end users are now demanding more sustainable packaging solutions for their products. Corrugated board offers a more economical and energy-efficient way to package and transport goods than plastic containers.

With its growth the corrugated industry is progressing with continuing developments, to improve features such as strength-to-weight ratios, performance and reusability and recyclability. E-commerce and the consumer need for faster services, has also proposed developments and challenges for the market. Manufacturers are adapting corrugated cardboard packaging to reduce delivery costs, ensure product protection and easier returns.
