The Global Corrugated Packaging Market size is expected to reach USD 277.9 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period from 2019-2028. The Asia Pacific region will account for the largest share in the corrugated packaging market and Europe will have the second-largest share in terms of revenue contribution due to rapid industrialization and rising demand for disposable goods. North America accounted for the third-largest share in 2018 due to low production costs and availability of raw materials like wood pulp, which has led to high growth rates over recent years.
Corrugated packaging is a type of box or container made from paperboard that has been pressed into long narrow flutes, so as to produce a honeycomb pattern in cross-section. The process was originally developed by American inventor Robert Gair in 1888 (although versions were being used for some time before). Corrugation allows the package to be both strong and lightweight, properties which make it an excellent choice for packaging. Corrugated board is usually made of white paper (though other colors are available) but can also use recycled materials or a mix thereof. It is used by many industries as either the main container material (such as in construction), as stiffener-board for fiberglass insulation panels, or in its traditional role as a package medium - with corrugations providing support so that the box does not collapse under contents weight.
On the basis of Types, the market is segmented into single wallboard, single face board, double wallboard, and triple wallboards.
Single wallboard is a type of corrugated box that features one panel or sheet on the outside and another on the inside. It is commonly used for general purpose packaging applications where strength, durability, and lightweight properties are desired. The single corrugation reduces material usage while providing sufficient rigidity to protect products from damage during shipping and handling.
Double Wall Board refers to ones with two sheets of paper exterior (top) and interior (bottom). This construction provides added protection against moisture since both sides contain an impervious layer of paperboard laminate. Double-walled Corrugations use less raw materials than Single Walls because they require only a single cardboard sheet as opposed to two facing pieces.
Triple wallboard, which is the top of the line in corrugated protection. A triple-wall board has three sheets of paper exterior (top) and interior (bottom). Triple walls provide added protection against moisture since all three layers contain an impervious layer of paperboard laminate. Triple Walls are often used for highly perishable produce like lettuce that could be damaged by water or crushed under heavy pressure from other products inside a box if only one single sheet was used as lining on both sides.
A Single Face Board is one of the most common types of board used for corrugated packaging. It has a single sheet (inside and out) that protects an item on all four sides while also providing some added stiffness to the box itself. A Single Wall Board's simplest form can be constructed with three rows of fluting, or grooves, running vertically up each side of the board. These rows are then covered in paperboard laminate before being wrapped around the product inside a box.
On the basis of Application, the market is segmented into food and beverages, electrical and electronics, home care products, personal care products, e-commerce transportation & logistics (T&L), healthcare.
Along with protecting the product from shaking and crushing, corrugated packaging helps to reduce food spoilage. Typical use is in a shipment of apples or oranges shipped long distances. The advantages of using corrugated boxes for this purpose are numerous: they provide a cushioning effect that reduces bumps on the road; they also protect products against temperature extremes during transit; and their design can allow air circulation, which prevents moisture condensation as well as mold growth. In addition, if these containers have tear-off openings at the top or sides (that makes it easy to remove them), then it becomes easier for the packing handlers to remove individual packages before loading them into trucks for distribution by warehouse personnel who will restock each store's shelves.
Electrical and electronic equipment are among the industries that use corrugated packaging. Semiconductors, for instance, are often packaged in a way to protect them from physical damage during transport or storage. This is accomplished by placing multiple layers of protective foam around the device before it’s placed into an outer carton or box – both made out of corrugated material. The same applies when these devices need to be photographed on-site for marketing materials: they may come with custom-made cardboard inserts which act as protection against any external forces while also preventing light reflections off their surface. Corrugated boards can thus serve many functions beyond simply being used as a base layer packaging material like paperboard boxes or envelopes; its versatility is what makes them a popular choice in the corrugated packaging market.
When it comes to the use of corrugated packaging for home care products, there are many factors that influence its usage. For one, in this segment they’re often used as a secondary protective layer to keep small items from falling out of their original packaging during shipment or distribution; however, some companies also wrap them around larger packages before putting them into another container. The second is that, because these containers need to be reused and recycled by consumers who buy multiple times while keeping efficiency high on both ends of production processes when dealing with perishable goods, they may not always be disposable like food & beverages (whereas recycling flow rates are much lower). In such cases, plastic bottles will have higher cost implications than cardboard boxes – which means that manufacturers may be more likely to use boxes rather than bottles.
One of the applications is in personal care products. This includes soaps and shampoos, among other things. The containers are mostly made from cardboard, which makes it easy to recycle them after use. When recycling occurs at a fast enough rate, then there will be no need for new paperboard production or plastic bottle manufacturing – just an opportunity to reuse what was already created without added cost implications.

On the basis of Region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa.
North America dominates the market as most of its population is health-conscious. Europe, on the other hand, has a much smaller population but higher disposable income and increased focus on environmental sustainability. Europe, on the other hand, has a much smaller population but higher disposable income and increased focus on environmental sustainability. Latin America is a low-potential market due to the lack of commercial and middle-class population. The Asia Pacific is expected to be an emerging region in this segment as it has a large population base, increasing disposable income, high demand for convenience foods, and focus on food safety regulations. The Middle East & Africa is mature with established packaging manufacturers; however, it is a low-potential market with a high cost of living.
The growth factors of the corrugated packaging market include increasing demand for convenience foods, a growing population base in the Asia Pacific region, and a high cost of living in the Middle East & Africa. The major restraining factor is a lack of a commercial middle-class population due to low disposable income. In terms of growth, Asia Pacific has shown high potential with its growing population base and demand for convenience foods. The Middle East & Africa remains stagnant as it does not have much room for growth due to the high cost of living.
