Corrugated Board Packaging Market

Corrugated Board Packaging Market

The global corrugated board packaging market is entering a decade of robust expansion, projected to grow from USD 198.7 billion in 2025 to USD 297.0 billion by 2035, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. This growth represents an absolute dollar opportunity of USD 98.3 billion, fueled by the accelerating rise of e-commerce, retail, and industrial sectors that demand cost-effective, recyclable, and durable packaging solutions.

Global Market Dynamics: From Stability to Acceleration

Rolling CAGR analysis reveals that the market will experience early stability followed by mid-period acceleration. Between 2025 and 2028, steady growth is supported by mature markets in North America and Europe, where e-commerce packaging and sustainability goals are reshaping design and material choices.

From 2029 to 2032, growth accelerates as Asia-Pacific and Latin America record industrial and retail expansion, urbanization, and increasing consumption of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). In the later years (2033-2035), the market moderates but remains healthy, driven by premium packaging, advanced printing, and high-value protective designs.
