Folding Cartons Market estimated to surpass US$126 billion by 2028

The folding cartons market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.15%, reaching US$126.359 billion in 2028 from US$101.717 billion in 2021.
The prime factors propelling the folding cartons market growth include production size versatility, lower environmental impact, increasing use in the food and beverage packaging industry, and continuous growing demand for frozen meals, dry goods, and cigarettes among others.
The folding cartons industry involves the manufacturing and distribution of cartons that are highly versatile in their production and made from environmentally friendly raw materials and components like kraft paperboard and micro-flute corrugates.

The industry offers customizable folding carton solutions to its consumers as well as child-resistant packaging options as well.
The market is witnessing investments and product innovations to gain a significant consumer base in the marketplace. For instance, Smurfit Kappa, a leading packaging manufacturer, announced in May 2022 to spend over EUR 35 million for establishing the first corrugated packaging factory in Morocco, which would be over 25000 square meters in size. Similarly, in March 2022, Stora Enso Oyj introduced in the market, a CarrEco bag made completely from natural fibers with excellent strength and tear resistance properties. In addition, Cerm, a global software provider for the label and packaging industries expanded its MIS in September 2021, by adding scalable end-to-end alternatives for the converters in the folding carton and rigid box markets.
