Drivers

• Growing consumer awareness of environmentally friendly packaging is driving the market growth

Consumers, majorly millennials, are becoming more concerned about how waste, packaging, and food production affect the environment. According to a survey, 59% of millennials think packaging should be eco-friendly at every value chain stage. Consumer demand for green packaging options positively impacts the growth of the heavy duty corrugated board packaging market.

• Sales of heavy-duty corrugated boxes in FMCG create a surge in market

Shipping containers made of heavy-duty corrugated packaging are frequently used. Food, drinks, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, hazardous materials, and other items that come in packages are commonly used. Heavy duty corrugated packaging products offer protection on their own but frequently need additional padding from corrugated inserts and edge protectors to keep the fragile product safe. The need for heavy-duty corrugated packaging rises as consumer goods consumption per person rises. Fragile items are packed with extreme care using heavy-duty corrugated, which helps prevent damage during storage and transportation.

Opportunities

• Heavy duty Corrugated board packaging boosts market growth by providing protection and durability while being transported

Corrugated board products are designed to offer the highest level of protection during storage and transportation for delicate, big, bulky, or high-value products. The heavy-duty corrugated board layers strengthen the packaging, making it more robust than regular cardboard. To add strength, corrugated cardboard uses a variety of liners, such as Kraft liners, test liners, and chip linear. The transit cushion for the product is made of corrugated paperboard. Such packaging is used instead of wood and metal packaging because it is eco-friendly, affordable, and renewable. There are many variations of corrugated board packaging, such as double-wall, triple-wall, and others. Heavy duty packaging is increasingly used for packaging goods because it is lightweight and extremely durable Octa bins are highly used for heavy-duty work packaging.

• Growing demand for e-commerce creates demand for heavy duty corrugated packaging

Through the region's rapidly urbanizing population, including China, India, and other nations, e-commerce has seen significant growth. The shift toward online shopping is primarily motivated by its convenience over physical stores. In some areas, such as the European region, thick paperboard and liner board use is restricted because of the high energy intensity required for manufacturing. Insight to an increase in online shopping for consumer electronics and industrial machinery, the demand for heavy-duty corrugated packaging may grow due to increased demand for machines used in medical devices, food processing equipment, and other products.

Restraints/Challenges

• Rising raw material prices and the availability of inexpensive substitutes hamper the growth of the market

The availability of low-cost alternatives to corrugated packaging restricts the market's growth. Stretch and shrink wrap, reusable plastic packaging, and intermediate bulk packaging containers outperform corrugated packaging in terms of aesthetics, cost-effectiveness, and durability. This indicates that these alternatives' availability limits the demand for corrugated packaging. In addition, rising raw material costs limit the demand for goods made of heavy duty corrugated packaging.
