Description

The Global Corrugated Fanfold Packaging Market was valued at USD 10.5 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% to reach USD 22.2 billion by 2034.

Market growth is driven by the rapid expansion of e-commerce, rising sustainability mandates, and the growing need for customizable and on-demand packaging solutions. Corrugated fanfold packaging enables manufacturers and retailers to optimize material usage, reduce shipping inefficiencies, and improve storage flexibility. Its ability to create right-sized packaging minimizes void fill, reduces damage during transit, and lowers carbon emissions associated with transportation. Increasing demand from sectors such as electronics, furniture, food and beverage, and third-party logistics is accelerating adoption, particularly as companies focus on waste reduction and supply chain optimization to meet environmental and cost-efficiency goals.

The market is primarily segmented by wall type, with single-wall corrugated fanfold packaging leading in 2024, generating USD 6.05 billion. Single-wall formats are preferred due to their lightweight structure, strength-to-weight efficiency, and compatibility with automated packaging systems. They serve a wide range of applications, from FMCG and retail to industrial shipments, offering flexibility without compromising durability.

In terms of flute type, the C flute segment accounted for the largest share in 2024, reaching USD 4.3 billion. C flute is favored for its cushioning properties, stacking strength, and cost-effectiveness, making it well-suited for bulk packaging, e-commerce deliveries, and protective shipping formats across multiple industries.

Asia Pacific Corrugated Fanfold Packaging Market generated USD 5.6 billion in 2024, driven by the booming e-commerce ecosystem, growth in manufacturing output, and rising adoption of sustainable packaging standards. Expanding retail networks, urbanization, and increasing exports across China, India, and Southeast Asia have further accelerated the use of customizable corrugated packaging formats. Government initiatives encouraging recyclable and fiber-based packaging, along with growing investments in automated box-making technologies, continue to strengthen the region’s leadership in the global market.

Key players involved in the corrugated fanfold packaging market are Smurfit WestRock, International Paper, Mondi Group, Stora Enso, Packaging Corporation of America (PCA), Nine Dragons Paper, DS Smith, and Prinzhorn Group. Companies in the corrugated fanfold packaging market are focusing on expanding production capacity and investing in automation to meet rising demand for customizable, on-demand packaging. Many players are integrating digital printing and precision cutting technologies to improve turnaround speed, reduce waste, and offer tailored dimensions for high-volume users. Firms are also strengthening supply chains by securing raw material contracts and collaborating with logistics providers to support fast-moving consumer sectors and e-commerce operators.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
