Market Overview:
The global folding boxboard market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for folding boxboard from the packaging and printing industries. Folding boxboard is used in a wide range of applications, such as higher end and general packaging, healthcare, cosmetics, greeting cards, and others. In terms of type, the pulp-based segment is expected to lead the global folding boxboard market during the forecast period owing to its high strength and durability properties.
Product Definition:
A folding boxboard is a paperboard that has been specifically designed for making folding cartons. It is made of two sheets of corrugated fiberboard that are glued together with the flutes (the ridges) running in opposite directions. This creates a strong, rigid board that can be folded and glued to make boxes.
Pulp Based:
Pulp based paper is made from wood pulp, which is a by-product of wood processing. Wood pulp can be categorized as hardwood and softwood. Hardwood pulps are derived from trees including maple, beech, oak and others while softwood pulps are derived from the coniferous trees including pine, spruce and others. The major application of pulp based paper is in the production of folding boxboard (FBB).
Bleached Chemical:
Bleached chemical is a type of cellulose that has been treated with sodium hydroxide to remove its natural occurring lignin. It is commercially manufactured by treating wood pulp with caustic soda at high temperature and pressure. The end product consists of highly branched hydrocarbon chains, which are used in the production of folding boxboard (FBB) and other paper-based products such as tissue, packaging paper, writing & printing papers among others.
Application Insights:
The general packaging segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. General packaging includes food & beverages, consumer goods, industrial and healthcare products. The growth of this application can be attributed to increasing demand for lightweight boxes from various industries such as food & beverages, retail and cosmetics among others.
The higher end segment is also expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to rising demand from luxury good manufacturers. Folding boxes are used by these manufacturers in packing their products such as jewelry, watches and other high-end accessories which are sold through premium retail stores or directly via e-commerce platforms.
Folded cartons form an integral part of any product launch or marketing strategy employed by major beverage companies such as Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo USA Inc., Jones Soda Co., etc.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global folding boxboard market in 2017. The region is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for corrugated packaging from various end-use industries, such as food & beverage and retail. In addition, rising disposable income levels and rapid urbanization in emerging economies of India and China are anticipated to drive product demand further.
North America accounted for a significant share of global revenue in 2017 due to high consumer awareness regarding sustainability issues associated with plastic packaging material. Europe also has a major market share owing to stringent regulations by environmental agencies about single-use plastics which is driving consumers toward recycled paper products such as folding boxes for their packaging needs thereby boosting industry growth across regions globally over the forecast period (2018 - 2030).
The Middle East & Africa region is projected To grow at an exponential rate during the forecast years due its rapidly expanding economy along with growing population especially in countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt etc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as food and beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals
- Rising disposable income of consumers in developing countries
- Growing popularity of e-commerce and online shopping
- Proliferation of retail outlets across the globe
- Technological advancements in folding boxboard manufacturing
