Containerboard, also known as Corrugated Case Material (CCM), is a packing material that is widely used because of its high grammage, lightweight, and adaptability. Linerboard (facing) and corrugated medium (fluted paper) are its two basic components. Kraft liner is a type of liner board composed of virgin fibre, while test liner is a type made of recycled fibre. Depending on the pulp type employed, the corrugated medium might be virgin, semi-chemical, or recycled.
Products manufactured of corrugated board are meant to give the best level of protection for fragile, huge, bulky, or high-value products during storage and transportation. Layers of corrugated board reinforce the packing goods, giving it greater durability than regular cardboard. Kraft liners, test liners, and chip linear are just a few of the liners used in corrugated cardboard to give it strength. The product uses corrugated paperboard for its travel cushion. Corrugated packaging is used in place of wood and metal packaging since it is 100% renewable, natural, and affordable. There are many different types of corrugated board packaging, such as single-phase, single-wall, double-wall, triple-wall, and others. Single-phase consists of one or two sheets of linear board and one flute.
In the packaging industry, containerboard is becoming more and more prevalent. Owing to its versatility, ease of transportation, and resilience, this packaging material is most frequently utilised. It also originates from a resource that is replenishable. It is the packing material that is recycled the highest as well.
E-commerce is growing into a sizable and rapidly expanding opportunity for the corrugated packaging market, according to The Future of Corrugated Packaging in 2023. Even with the recent economic slump, which has generally harmed e-commerce package/retail sales, corrugated packaging suppliers have plenty of space to develop.
Georgia-Pacific, a manufacturer of pulp and paper products, stated that all of its mills are currently operating at full capacity. To stay competitive, the Atlanta-based company has been compelled to make purchases from smaller companies. According to International Paper's third-quarter results report, the nation's largest forest products company generated over 2.7 million short metric tonnes in 2020, up 2% from the year before. One out of every five cardboard boxes made in the US is made by WestRock Co. The Atlanta-based manufacturer of corrugated packaging, paperboard, and containerboard employs fifty thousand people. E-commerce is growing into a sizable and rapidly expanding opportunity for the corrugated packaging market, according to The Future of Corrugated Packaging in 2023. layered packaging.

Corrugated boxes, which are widely used to package food and drink items, chemicals, glassware, consumer goods, and electronics, are made mostly from containerboards. The demand has increased globally due to the growth of the food and beverage industry. The market is growing because of the change in customer behavior and the growing preference for packaged, frozen, and ready-to-eat items. This has boosted the food and beverage sector. The product's capacity to provide protection and cushioning during transit is also driving up demand for moving fragile food items. Food packaging makes up about 50% (weighted) of all packaging sales. Food packaging needs to strike a compromise between food safety and a few other factors, such as material and energy costs. Future packaging guidelines have now enhanced matters from the perspective of manufacturers as well as customer safety. It's critical for manufacturers and customers to have more information on packaging-related issues, such as food safety and environmental concerns. Labelling and effective packaging should be the foundation for handling safety-related packaging. Food packaging's primary objective is to provide food in an economical manner while still meeting industry standards, consumer preferences, food safety requirements, and the least amount of environmental impact.

Furthermore, growth is being accelerated by the quick development of e-commerce platforms and the application of product-specific packaging to protect goods from outside stress.
Corrugated boxes have been sturdy, durable, and portable for more than a century. However, living a long life comes with challenges. Cellulose fibre, either virgin or recycled from previously used corrugated cardboard or other materials, is what is used to manufacture corrugated cardboard, sometimes referred to as corrugated fiberboard. Strict regulations against deforestation, however, are restraining the expansion of the corrugated board packaging business since cellulose fibres are rare. To begin with, the world's woods have vanished in about half of cases. The World Resources Institute (WRI) estimates that just around 22% of the world's old-growth forests remain intact, even though afforestation replaces eight of the 13 million hectares lost each year. This has led to a rise in initiatives for the sustainable use of forests and their products. Many North American paper industries are currently altering their operations to reduce the production of dioxins. Dioxin is a carcinogenic byproduct of paper manufacturing. Thuse these concerns are limiting the market from reaching its full potential.

To encourage sustainability, producers of a wide range of goods, such as electronics, food and drink, cosmetics, and personal care items, favor eco-friendly packaging options.
Because corrugated boxes are composed of recycled materials, they are regarded as an environmentally friendly and sustainable type of packaging. Manufacturers may lessen their environmental effects and provide sustainability by using recycled materials to produce corrugated boxes. This helps them comply with government rules and industry standards that safeguard the environment. Governments are also pushing package companies to use recyclable materials in their packaging, and environmental concerns are growing, both of which are opening up enormous market prospects. Recycled materials are thought to be more affordable and, at the same time, comply with various government standards and regulations related to sustainability.
Recycled paper fibre is used in over 80% of American paper mills to create renewable products like paper towels, office paper, packaging, and newspapers. Nevertheless, via innovation and sustainability programmes, the sector is striving to increase its sustainability.

Asia Pacific was the market leader in 2023 and is predicted to continue to expand at the quickest CAGR during the projection period. The region's growing need for containerboard is partly due to the strong presence of numerous end-use industries, including consumer goods, agriculture, and food & beverage. The need for packaging materials is also being driven up by growing urbanization, industrial trade, rising consumer expenditure, and production in nations like China and India. Over the forecast period, it is expected that the corrugated packaging market would be driven by the expansion of e-commerce giants like Alibaba. The packaging industry is seeking for novel materials to package food and beverages as health-consciousness initiatives gain traction. These materials are supposed to have mechanical durability and antimicrobial qualities, which increase the product's shelf life. As a result, it is anticipated that the country's consumption of packaged foods and the use of packaging materials will increase.
China's ability to meet the country's growing domestic food supply need has been questioned due to the country's limited and deteriorating agricultural resources, according to Australia's Department of Agriculture and Water Resources. The government needs to find alternatives, including importing food items, to shield the product from harm and deterioration caused by climate change. This would benefit the corrugated packaging sector in the region. It is projected that lowering pulp prices, growing public awareness of ecologically friendly packaging, and the growing e-commerce package industry would all contribute to China's paper packaging market growth.
