Corrugated Board Market Growth Drivers:
The corrugated board market is experiencing robust growth, primarily driven by its widespread adoption across diverse sectors, including food & beverage, consumer durables, e-commerce, and electronics, particularly in North America. This region also sees a rising demand for flexible packaging solutions that utilize corrugated board. Notably, a significant portion of North American consumers are willing to pay a premium for packaging that offers tangible benefits, prompting manufacturers to innovate and expand their flexible packaging offerings.
Corrugated board’s inherent sustainability further fuels its market expansion. The manufacturing process often minimizes environmental impact by avoiding dyes and bleaches, resulting in a lower carbon footprint. Its lightweight nature also contributes to efficient packaging, reducing air cargo volume and lowering transportation costs, particularly for bulk shipments.

Corrugated Board Market- COVID-19 Impact and Recovery:
The COVID-19 pandemic initially posed significant challenges to the packaging industry, with raw material shortages, factory shutdowns, and labor constraints leading to sales declines. However, the surge in e-commerce, driven by lockdowns and the closure of physical stores, generated substantial demand for corrugated boards for packaging and shipping essential goods. While the US, with its high COVID-19 case count, experienced initial disruptions, increasing vaccination rates and the gradual reopening of industries are expected to drive a positive recovery for the corrugated board market.
