Board Packaging Market is poised to witness robust growth as Mondi plc enters into partnership with Carto to enter the fresh produce segment with a new avocado box
Board packaging, also referred to as
corrugated cardboard packaging, is a durable but inexpensive packaging option
for all types of products. It provides superior protection from damage and
ensures the product's safety throughout transport. Many times, it's used to
protect fragile or valuable products from damage while in transit. Corrugated
boxes made with low-density polyethylene or LDPE are suitable for storing all
types of goods including groceries, dry cleaning supplies, paints, rubber
parts, medical devices, and household items. Board packaging has gained a
significant position in the packaged food industry. The demand for convenience
food has increased rapidly over the years, in both developed and emerging
economies. As per the Food and Drink Federation, the U.K., the food and drink
manufacturing sector accounts for 17% in terms of economic contribution.
Furthermore, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the food
processing industry contributed 14% of the country’s GDP in 2016. Furthermore,
as the working women population increases, the demand for convenience food
products increases at the same pace. As per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the
number of employed women in the U.S. reached 75.9 million in 2018, increasing
from 53.6 million in 1990. Board packaging plays a massive role in the
above-mentioned sector, which can accelerate growth of the board packaging
market.
Another key sector where board
packaging has witnessed massive adoption is the cosmetic sector. Different
cosmetic products required robust packaging solutions so that they do not get
damaged during transportation and also due to sunlight. Board packaging has
proven to be an adequate solution for such challenges, which could stimulate
growth of the board packaging market in the near future. That being said, the
recent technological evolutions have presented various high-performance
substitutes for board packaging such as eco-friendly plastics, recycled
plastics, and recycled cardboard and paper. Such alternative solutions are
impeding growth of the board
packaging market significantly.
The benefits of corrugated box
packaging include improved durability and increased storage space, greater
protection against moisture and air damage, environmental protection due to the
reduction of waste, and reduced handling costs. For small to medium-sized
goods, this packaging option is an ideal way to ensure that the goods reach
their customers. With the right packing, goods can be safely stored away
without the risk of damage or loss. Developed countries such as the U.S. are
witnessing a high surge in demand for board packaging since consumers are
increasingly becoming aware of eco-friendly products. Besides, the government
in the U.S. is advocating the use of environmental-friendly packaging
materials, which could accelerate regional board packaging market growth in the
near future.
Recently, in February 2020, Mondi
plc, a paper manufacturer partnered with Carto, a Mexican corrugated packaging
provider, to enter the fresh produce segment with a new avocado box.
