If we look at the Indian subcontinent, the standard of living in urban areas is rising steadily which has resulted in higher consumption of end-use products. This has been driving the need for robust packaging, wherein corrugated packaging solutions demand is witnessing a significant upsurge across industries today. Also, this growth can be attributed to the propelling demand for light-weight and convenient packaging solutions across industry verticals and the growing e-commerce segment.
Furthermore, as there has been increasing awareness regarding environmental concerns and sustainability issues, cardboard boxes that are completely biodegradable, recyclable, and reusable have gained more popularity over the years; thus, becoming an efficient alternative to plastic packaging. Moreover, with the advancement of technology and adaptability of this product, it has become one of the most efficient forms of packaging with its versatility and low carbon footprint.
