According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Folding Cartons Market is accounted for $68.75 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $108.25 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period. Folding cartons are paperboards that are cut, folded, laminated, and printed for the packaging of different goods. Folding cartons are considered a vital process in the packaging business, the wide availability, and sustainability of paperboard at a lower cost makes folding cartons a popular packaging choice among end-use industries.



Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing preferences for bio-gradable packaging


The rising inclination for bio gradable packaging and the expanded values for the products that are packed in the biodegradable packaging are driving the folding cartons market growth. Additionally, the advantages of the folding cartons such as sustainability and availability of these folding cartons have propelled potential end-user applications to use the folding cartons, which are expanding the overall growth of the folding cartons industry. Sustainable paperboard packaging meant for fresh produce is driving the market growth.

Restraint:

High cost


Manufacturers in the folding cartons market are expanding the development of packaging solutions utilizing solid whiteboard, which is strong, rigid, and acknowledges print well. However, this material can be potentially costly. Nevertheless, solid whiteboard folding cartons are widely utilized for the packaging of books, cosmetics, and electronics, among others. Therefore, the high cost of solid whiteboard materials balanced with rigidity in packaging solutions is restraining the market growth.

Opportunity:

Advancements in the folding cartons industry


The manufacturers are working and providing different designs according to the choice of the end-user applications. Additionally, the manufacturers in the packaging industries are inclined toward delivering packaging materials that offer great printability and rigidity, to integrate advanced tracking technologies. The advancements in the folding cartons industry that acquires favorable qualities while offering improved aesthetic value and protection at affordable price point are presenting ample opportunities for the overall growth of the folding cartons market.

Threat:

Fluctuations in the raw material prices


The volatility of prices for wood pulp or other raw materials utilized in the manufacture of folding cartons is acting as a threat to the growth of the folding cartons market. Unexpected orders and periodic variations in box quantities cause issues in manufacturing facilities. Paper industry issues influence the overall expansion of the folding carton market. Paper is an indispensable raw material for the manufacture of folding cartons. Hence the decline in paper production affects the growth of the folding carton market.

The food & beverage segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The food & beverage segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth owing to the steady development of packaged food, changing consumer lifestyles across the world, coupled with rising disposable, resulting in expanded utilization of convenient food products such as packaged food. Moreover, a busy lifestyle and increasing working women population have been leading the rise in the consumption of ready-to-eat food products are driving the segment growth.

The paper & paperboard segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The paper & paperboard segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period as paper and paper-based packaging products such as folding cartons decrease the impact on the environment and at the same time lessen the overall cost of the company. International regulatory bodies recommend the essential sustainable changes in packaging materials, thus emphasizing the usage of paper and paper-based packaging products such as folding cartons.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to changing consumer lifestyles, rising disposable incomes, and increasing demand for packaged foods such as ready-to-eat meals. The growing penetration of organized retail chains in the Asia Pacific region has also been fueling the demand for packaged food products, which in turn benefits the market.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the well-established retail sector in these regions, along with a high consumer acceptance and demand for new technologies. High preference given to printed and customizable packages in these regions is likely to further supplement the digital folding cartons market growth during the forecast period.
