Containerboard Global Market Report 2024

Description

Containerboard is a type of paperboard specifically engineered for manufacturing corrugated boxes and packaging materials. It is valued for its strength, durability, and ability to withstand the rigors of stacking and handling during transportation. Containerboard typically comprises multiple layers of paper, featuring linerboard on the outer surfaces and corrugating medium as the inner layer.

The main types of containerboard include kraftliners, testliners, and fluting. Kraftliners are robust, coarse papers used primarily as the outer layers of containerboard, prized for their high strength and resilience in packaging applications. These materials are crafted from both recycled and virgin fibers, serving diverse end-use industries such as food and beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, electronics, and others.

This containerboard market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The containerboard market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $128.50 billion in 2023 to $133.70 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The growth in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including increasing demand for packaging materials, fluctuations in the price and availability of essential raw materials, developments in environmental regulations and recycling mandates, rising demand for sustainable packaging solutions, and shifts in consumer behavior favoring sustainable packaging choices.

The containerboard market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $157.69 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to economic expansion, the proliferation of online shopping, population growth, shifts in international trade policies, preferences for lightweight packaging, and the expansion of global trade. Major trends anticipated in this period include advancements in containerboard production techniques, adoption of digital technologies in packaging processes, increased investments in infrastructure and capacity expansion, development of multifunctional packaging solutions, and enhancements in packaging efficiency and optimization.

The containerboard market is poised for growth driven by increasing demand for electronic items. Electronic items, which utilize electronic circuits to perform specific functions, are experiencing rising consumption due to factors such as enhanced connectivity, digital transformation, expanding e-commerce, and the emergence of new markets. Containerboard plays a crucial role in the electronics industry by providing durable and eco-friendly packaging solutions that ensure protection during shipping and handling. Its recyclable nature also aligns with sustainability goals within the electronics sector. For example, the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association reported a significant increase in total consumer electronics production from May 2022 to May 2023, underscoring the growing demand driving the containerboard market.

Key players in the containerboard market are focusing on innovation to meet sustainability standards and enhance product offerings. Recyclable containerboard, designed for easy recycling and reuse to minimize environmental impact, is a pivotal development in this regard. Mondi, a UK-based packaging company, introduced ProVantage SmartKraft Brown and White in June 2024. These innovative containerboard grades combine fresh and recycled fibers, a fresh-fiber top layer ensures strength, tunability, and printability, while the underlayer consists entirely of recycled fiber to uphold sustainability and environmental responsibility. This blend of materials ensures high performance and quality while meeting diverse packaging needs without compromise.

In October 2021, Smurfit Kappa, an Ireland-based packaging giant, acquired Verzuolo for $416 million to bolster its integrated and sustainable paper-based packaging solutions. This strategic move enhances Smurfit Kappa's product portfolio, strengthens its market position, and expands its presence across Europe. Verzuolo, headquartered in Italy, specializes in providing containerboard solutions, thereby complementing Smurfit Kappa's growth strategy in the region.
