Corrugated Packaging Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2024 – 2032


The Global Corrugated Packaging Market reached a value of USD 224.1 billion in 2023 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2024 to 2032. Driven by the rapid growth of e-commerce, demand for corrugated packaging has surged as online retailers seek durable, lightweight, and economical solutions for shipping products safely. Corrugated boxes provide essential strength and flexibility for a wide range of products, making them integral to the e-commerce sector. Additionally, the rise of subscription services and cross-border shipping highlights the need for efficient, reliable packaging. Technological advancements like digital printing have propelled the market by enabling high-quality, customizable designs on corrugated boxes.

The corrugated packaging market is segmented by wall type into single-wall, double-wall, and triple-wall corrugated options. In 2023, single-wall corrugated packaging emerged as the leading segment, generating USD 97.2 billion in revenue and anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% over the forecast period. This type is widely preferred for its cost-effectiveness, lightweight, and versatility, which help reduce production and shipping expenses. Its adaptability across industries enhances inventory management, making it an efficient and sustainable packaging solution.

By printing technology, the market is categorized into lithography, flexography, digital printing, and others (including rotogravure). Flexography held around 42% of the total market share in 2023, with a projected CAGR of 5.1% throughout the forecast period. This printing technology excels in high-quality, large-volume production on various substrates, especially corrugated cardboard. Known for quick setup and fast drying, flexography reduces production lead times, making it highly cost-effective.

The U.S. corrugated packaging market generated approximately USD 45.8 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period. The country’s robust e-commerce sector, along with the popularity of home delivery services like meal kits and subscription boxes, has significantly boosted demand. Corrugated packaging is valued for its protective and eco-friendly attributes, positioning the U.S. as a key market player as consumer convenience and sustainable packaging solutions remain in high demand.

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.
