Paper Packaging Materials Market (Product: Liquid Packaging Cartons, Corrugated Cases, Cartons & Folding Boxes, and Others; and Application: Beverages, Fast Food, Fresh Food, Dairy & Bakery, Frozen Food, and Others) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2021-2031

Paper Packaging Materials Market Outlook 2031

  • The global market was valued at US$ 359.5 Bn in 2020
  • It is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2021 to 2031
  • The global paper packaging materials industry is expected to reach the value of US$ 553.1 Bn by the end of 2031

Analysts’ Viewpoint on Paper Packaging Materials Market Scenario

Manufacturers in this market are maintaining optimum inventory levels to ensure a robust supply of products amid ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. Even though paper packaging is associated with advantages such as sustainability and versatility, issues including poor barrier properties and slow anaerobic (oxygen-absent) biodegradation rate in environments without oxygen, such as landfills, are challenging for stakeholders in the value chain. Hence, manufacturers in the paper packaging materials market should increase the availability of water-soluble board stock, which qualifies as compostable in 40 days as it passes the ASTM D6868-11 testing method. They should also increase R&D in materials that have passed the international OECD 301B testing method and thus, demonstrate that they biodegrade rapidly and completely in aquatic environments.

Comprehensive Applications of Paper Packaging Materials Generating Value-grab Opportunities

Companies in the paper packaging materials market are unlocking revenue streams in beverages, fresh foods, fast foods, frozen foods, dairy & bakery, pet foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Of these, beverages have been holding the leading revenue share in the past few years. On the other hand, the combined share of frozen foods, fast foods, and fresh foods in the same year is significant and expected to rise at the major CAGR during the forecast period.

The demand for paper packaging materials for frozen foods, fast foods, and fresh foods is driven by their vast demand for wrapping food products. In addition, recent advances in materials used for paper packaging and constant advancement in manufacturing technologies have led to the emergence of highly functional packaging, such as those which are leakproof.

eCommerce and Healthcare Emerge as Frontrunners in Material Production amid COVID-19 Outbreak

Manufacturers in the paper packaging materials market are catering to the on-demand delivery of products and services to keep projects running amid the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. They are focusing on mission-critical applications in food & beverage, healthcare, and logistics in order to keep the economies growing.

Manufacturers in this market have been working at break-neck speeds to fulfill the demand of clientele in the rapidly growing eCommerce industry. The steady growth in international trade is anticipated to bring business activities to their normal pace by the end of 2022. Manufacturers are establishing a balanced relationship with their suppliers and ecosystem partners to keep projects moving forward.

Ever-evolving Packaging Industry Holds Lucrative Opportunities in the Asia Pacific

Asia Pacific held the leading market share in 2020. Although the combined share of Europe and North America was more than 50% of the market, the market in Asia Pacific is predicted to rise at an exponential rate during the forecast period. The exponential growth of this regional market can be attributed to the vast advancements made in the packaging industry in various countries. The market in Latin America and Middle East & Africa is predicted to gather pace during the forecast period. The growth is likely to be fueled by the rapid emergence of the packaging sector in these regions.

Demand for Corrugated Cases Driven by Application in Retail Packaging

Based on products used for making paper packaging, manufacturers in the global market are bolstering output capabilities for liquid packaging cartons, corrugated cases, cartons, and folding boxes, among others. Of these, the corrugated cases segment accounted for the leading share of the market in 2020. Moreover, the demand for corrugated cases is projected to rise at an accelerated pace in the near future. This segment is anticipated to expand at a leading CAGR throughout the assessment period.

The extensive demand for corrugated cases is expected to be driven by its application in retail packaging and inter-trade activities. The vast uptake of these can be scribed to the durability of packaging and recyclability. In addition, corrugated packaging boxes are lightweight and can be reused. This is expected to boost the expansion of the paper packaging materials market.

Growing Plastic Waste Contributing to Demand for Sustainable Paper Packaging Materials

Recent advancements made in the packaging industry have led to the demand for eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable packaging materials for a number of end-use applications. This is a key factor driving the evolution of the market for paper packaging materials. The growing demand for flexible packaging in industries such as food & beverages (F&B), cosmetics, pet food, and pharmaceuticals is a significant trend propelling the market.

Mounting concerns pertaining to the use & disposal of plastics and factors limiting the use of metals in making packaging are crucial in the uptake of paper packaging materials in developing and developed regions. In addition, significant advances made in the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) nations toward the adoption of paper-based flexible packaging is predicted to open up promising avenues for market players in these regions.
