According to Cognitive Market Research, the Folding Carton Market Size will be USD XX Billion in 2023 and is set to achieve a market size of USD XX Billion by the end of 2031 growing at a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2031. A folding carton is a paper-based package used as an external container for an item or product. For instance, cereal is stored in a flexible package to hold the materials inside and a folding carton box holds and protects the cereal package. It's the box that used to store and hold almost every product in the world. A folding carton is a cylinder board that is made from pulp from reprocessed scrap paper. Furthermore, cartons for food are mostly made from a higher grade and lighter solid sulfate board with plastic coating. Folding cartons are usually restricted to holding a few pounds or kilograms of material. The market for folding cartons market has been gaining traction as always because of several factors, mainly due to its environment-friendly and sustainable appeal.
Key drivers for Folding Cartons Market
The recent trends are, mostly revolving around sustainability and environment-friendly options due to increasing environmental consciousness among both the consumers and the producers. People are highly concerned about the environment, nowadays, as carbon footprints and carbon emissions are increasing enormously day by day due to rising population, rapid urbanization, and industrialization, especially in emerging economies.
For instance, the Asian continent is the largest emitter of carbon emissions, because around half of the global emissions are from Asia due to high population and industrialization trends. It is home to almost 60% of the world’s population. Furthermore, China emits more than one-quarter of global emissions. Secondly, the rising demand for environment-friendly packaging is increasing which is also due to environmental consciousness and the expansion of its end-user industries. For example, the food and beverage sector is rapidly expanding due to the rise in demand for convenience foods, functional and specialized food products, natural and plant-based food products, organic food products, and many others, as consumers are increasingly becoming health conscious, nowadays. For instance, in the pharmaceutical industry, blister packaging protects individual doses of medicines or supplements, however, it requires sturdy, adaptable outer packaging for additional protection and optimal storage. Therefore, the folding carton packaging is effective.
As a result, the rising demand for environment-friendly packaging and increasing environmental consciousness significantly drive the market for folding cartons.
Restraints for Folding Cartons Market
Folding cartons are usually made from raw materials like cellulose fiber or wood pulp that are obtained directly from plants and trees, either softwood or hardwood trees. Due to the demand and supply constraints and exploitation of trees from various other industries like paper, furniture, energy, tissues, and many others, the prices of raw materials fluctuate and there is less guarantee of availability.
For instance, the price of pulp has been rising steadily since October 2022, as the demand for pulp continues to increase amid the slower supply of growth. According to Eurostat, the production index for paper and paper products increased by 6% from October to February, resulting in rising demand for pulp.
These rising pulp prices directly affect the EU paper industry. Paper producers have faced rising costs for some time, and have sought to raise product prices since the beginning of 2024. Thus, it was indicated that paper producers continued increasing paper prices in May and June 2024 to cope with rising production costs. Thus, rising demand for environment-friendly packaging and increasing environmental consciousness significantly drive the market for folding cartons.
