With the growing demand for packaging in the key end-use sectors such as food & beverages, electrical & electronics, and e-commerce industries, the demand for corrugated boxes is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The crucial growth factor in the global corrugated boxes market is the low-cost and optimum protection characteristics of corrugated boxes. These are widely used as a secondary packaging solution to pack a variety of products in different end-use industries. The demand for corrugated boxes is expected to witness substantial growth in the next 4-5 years owing to the growing popularity of online shopping in the developed, as well as in developing countries, such as Germany, the U.S., India, and China. With the rise in online shopping platforms, the demand for packaging products, such as corrugated boxes, that offer optimum protection during shipping and handling will also gain a strong foothold in the global market.

Corrugated boxes could be easily recycled and do not pose any threat to the environment. Governments in both, developed as well as developing economies, are launching new initiatives to recycle more and more paper packaging products to reduce the use of virgin material which requires enormous resources to produce an end product. The global push for recyclability in the corrugated boxes market will create enormous opportunities for the recycling companies globally. It is also witnessed that recycled fibre offers distinct cost advantage for the production of corrugated boxes. It requires less energy and resources to manufacture corrugated boxes as compared to virgin fibre.

High cost of machinery and maintenance costs negatively affecting profit margins

High installation costs of machinery and equipment create a backlash factor on revenue margins in the long run, restraining the global corrugated boxes market. Corrugated box manufacturing process involves multiple stages which range from designing, layout, die cutting, waste recovery, etc. and require machinery and equipment for applications such as emission control, cooking, pulp storage, etc. The installation costs incurred by the manufacturers are quite large and the machinery turns to be invariably very expensive. Also, the maintenance cost of machinery is too high which, in turn, hampers profitability margins of the manufacturers. Corrugated boxes have a low strength threshold which makes them less suitable for primary packaging of goods.
