Global Paperboard Market size was valued at USD 146.1 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 150.34 billion in 2024 to USD 188.97 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 2.9% during the forecast period (2025-2032).

The global paperboard market is poised for growth, driven by increasing demand for sustainable packaging solutions.

Growing consumer awareness of sustainability, coupled with the rapid expansion of the packaged food industry fueled by rising disposable incomes and retail network growth, is expected to further enhance paperboard utilization. Its cost-effectiveness, lightweight nature, and excellent printability reinforce paperboard's competitive edge in the evolving packaging landscape.
