The Top 8 Industries that Use Corrugated Box Packaging
Corrugated materials are among the most popular kings of box packaging used worldwide. Leading market researcher IMARC group pegged the size of the corrugated box market at $198 billion last year and expects the market to nearly hit the $230 billion mark by 2028.
A significant portion of this tremendous growth can be traced back to certain select industries that rely significantly on corrugated box packaging. Here are eight such market segments.
Food and beverages
Corrugated boxes are particularly suitable for packaging and storing food products because they offer a unique advantage — resistance to bacterial infections. Since they keep the food items fresh, germ-free, and safe, these cartons are widely used in the F&B sector.
E-commerce
Corrugated packaging is easily the backbone of the e-commerce industry owing to its various benefits, like easy customization. Cartons come in different sizes to suit a wide range of products in the e-commerce supply chain and can be personalized to reflect brand values.
Office supply and stationery
The office supplies market worldwide is expected to increase at a CAGR of 1.9%, from USD 130.5 billion in 2021 to USD 149.4 billion by 2028. Corrugated packaging is integral to this booming industry for reasons ranging from scalability to availability and longevity.
Textiles
Packaging for textiles and apparel needs to be attractive, fuss-free, and indicative of the brand’s unique signature. Corrugated packaging helps check all these boxes, making it one of the preferred solutions in the textile industry’s supply chain across the world.
Luxury goods
Corrugated packaging is the only rigid medium that can be cut and folded into infinite shapes and sizes. This unique blend of customizability coupled with strength has made it a trendy packaging solution in the luxury goods market.
Healthcare
Whether it involves transporting medicines and pills or sensitive and delicate medical equipment, corrugated box packaging can be ideal for many reasons. It is rigid, hygienic, and easy to manufacture in different shapes to pack equipment of different sizes snugly.
Electronics
Although it’s easy to overlook, electronic products can be extremely fragile. Therefore, nothing but the sturdiest and safest packaging will do when they are shipped over long distances and across borders. The electronics industry, it appears, has found its solution in corrugated packaging.
Hazardous materials
Corrugated packaging can also be made water-resistant and highly tolerant to temperature changes. These attributes are why it is a preferred packaging material for transporting hazardous materials, batteries, etc.
