Its benefits include recyclability, being lightweight, cost-effective, flexible, durable, and biodegradable. The market deals with personal and household care, fresh food and beverages, processed food, electronic goods, and paper products. The major factors boosting the market growth are the growing demand for sustainable packaging and the expansion of e-commerce platforms.
The growing FMCG Industry and increase in urbanization and retail sector fuel the corrugated packaging market growth
The Fast-moving consumer goods sector (FMCG) plays a pivotal role in the corrugated packaging industry. FMCG products, including food, beverages, personal care items, and household products, require reliable packaging solutions. Corrugated Packaging, with its durability, printability, and protection, ensures product safety, ease of transportation, and visual appeal on store shelves, instilling confidence in retailers.
The demand for corrugated Packaging is rising due to the growing urbanization and retail sector in developing countries. The increase in urban population and the expansion of retail infrastructure create a need for efficient packaging solutions to transport goods from manufacturers to retailers. Corrugated Packaging is the answer due to its versatility, strength, and cost-effectiveness.
However, competition from alternative packaging materials and extreme weather conditions can restrain the growth of the corrugated packaging market. Corrugated Packaging faces competition from other packaging materials like flexible Packaging, plastics, and rigid Packaging. These materials have advantages like being durable and lightweight and offering unique design options. Companies exploring different packaging solutions may shift away from corrugated Packaging, impacting its demand.
