Corrugated boxes are disposable containers whose sides are manufactured from layers of various material, which comprise an inside layer, middle layer, and outer layer. Amongst these, the middle layer is styled in rigid and wave-shaped arches to provide cushioning and support for weighted materials placed in a corrugated box. Corrugated boxes are manufactured by examining various elements of the boxes, such as flute size, edge crush strength, burst strength, flat crush strength, the heaviness of the cardboard sheets, the weight of the paper, and types of surface treatments. They are designed to keep moisture and bacteria away from the products and enhance their shelf life. As they are cost-effective, sustainable, and easy to recycle, the demand for corrugated boxes is rising across the globe.

At present, the increasing demand for convenient shipping among various end-use industries, such as electronics, healthcare, chemicals, logistics, and food and beverage (F&B), represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. Besides this, there is a rise in the online shopping activities of consumers around the world. This, along with the thriving e-commerce industry, is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, the growing demand for corrugated boxes to pack ready-to-eat (RTE) meals, convenience meals, and ready-to-make meals is offering a favorable market outlook. Moreover, there is an increase in the demand for high-performance C-flute corrugated boards to pack pet supplies, pharmaceuticals, and personal care items. This, coupled with the growing utilization of C-flute corrugated boards as they provide packaging with a high load-bearing capacity with minimal use of fiber material, is offering a favorable market outlook. Apart from this, the rising demand for corrugated boxes due to their high durability, versatility, and stability is strengthening the growth of the market. Additionally, key players are designing corrugated boxes with digital printing techniques on account of various environmental benefits and reduction in packaging waste. Furthermore, the escalating demand for corrugated boxes in the medical industry to transport sensitive products, such as capsules, tablets, and lab and medical equipment, is bolstering the growth of the market.
