Published: Mar 2022 | Report Code: OMR2026318 | Category : Packaging | Delivery Format: /

The global market for paperboard packaging is projected to have a considerable CAGR of around 3.4% during the forecast period. Paperboard is quite commonly used for packaging food and beverage products including juices, milk, and cereal products. Paperboard packaging is easy to easy buy, easy to recycle, and easy to re-seal. Paper-based packaging has gained significant traction due to its environment-friendly properties. Customers have started preferring eco-friendly products over traditional non-paperboard-based products. Moreover, intense pressure from governments, activist organizations, and the media has driven manufacturers to make their packaging and operations more sustainable, boosting the growth of the global paperboard packaging market over the forecast period. However, these types of packaging are having a higher carbon footprint than plastic, create a lot of methane when rotting in landfills, and are difficult for single-stream recycling due to contamination. Therefore, these factors restrain the growth of the market.
