Global market for corrugated boxes 2014-2019

According to a new report by Freedonia, worldwide demand for corrugated boxes is expected to reach 260 billion square meters by 2019. In developed countries, boxes are used widely in all sectors of the economy so demand will track overall economic growth and industrial production trends and continue to be relatively slow growing. In less mature markets growth will be more robust, as manufacturers in these areas use boxes more intensively for product packaging and transportation.
In all regions, strong growth in e-commerce will increase box usage as will the rising popularity of retail-ready packaging, the latter especially important in developed countries where labor costs are high.
