The global paperboard container market size was valued at $135,481.0 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $207,396.1 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 4.3% from 2022 to 2031. The paperboard is defined by the thickness of the paper piles; it is often greater than paper to preserve the weight-to-area ratio. For example, the weight must be 224g/m2 for the International Organization for Standardization to classify it as paperboard. Paper layers or wood pulp are used to make paperboards. Paperboard creates a great information carrier and brand builder, since it has a superb printing surface and outstanding print quality.
In addition, the cosmetics, apparel, footwear, and food sectors, all use paperboard for packaging the products. Paperboard is a durable, light-weight, smooth, adaptable, and reasonably priced packaging material. Paperboards can be recycled to a degree of around 70%, which makes them superior than plastics, metals, and glassware as sustainable packaging materials. Moreover, consumers choose paper and paperboard containers over plastic since they are now biodegradable and more environmentally friendly. Containers made of paper and paperboard are reusable, recyclable, energy-efficient, and protect natural resources. As a result, all such factors are driving the paperboard container market growth.
Various key players are implementing strategic moves such as collaboration, product launch and business expansion to strengthen its market position. For instance, in November 2021, Oji Holdings Corporation announced the establishment of a new corrugated container plant in Vietnam. This has further helped the company to increase its production volume of corrugated boxes in the Asia-Pacific region. This is anticipated to fuel the global paperboard container market.
The market is segmented on the basis of board type, size, end user, and region. On the basis of board type, the market is divided into paperboard and containerboard.

Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “Paperboard Container Market," the paperboard container market size was valued at $135.48 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $207.40 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2022 to 2031.The global paperboard container market is anticipated to be driven by the rise in demand for paperboard container packaging in important end-use sectors, such as food and beverages, healthcare, industrial products, and others. The food and beverages and healthcare sectors in emerging nations are expected to benefit from the rapid expansion in global population. In turn, it is anticipated to increase the demand for paperboard container packaging.
In addition, paperboard-based packaging is an affordable and lightweight packaging option that offers enough protection for a variety of items. Paper-based packaging includes shipping sacks, paperboard, containerboard, and paper bags. Containerboard is made from cardboard and are available in different grades with special qualities that make them perfect for packing cereals, cosmetic items, and medications. Multi-wall paper bags called shipping sacks are typically used to transport large goods.
Moreover, rise in governmental strict regulations regarding environmental protection is further expected to favor the growth of paperboard container market. For instance, in January 2020, a new policy was implemented by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. The directive will see non-degradable bags banned in major cities by the end of 2020 and in all cities and towns by 2022. Hence, due to rise in awareness toward environment, these investments in the paperboard sector are expected to increase the paperboard container market share and provide growth in this market.
Asia-Pacific accounting for the majority share of the global market has dominated the global paperboard container market in terms of revenue in 2021, due to economic growth and emergence of various industries such as food and beverage, electronics, FMCG, and pharmaceutical. Technological advancements in the pharmaceutical business are expected to positively affect the paperboard container market.
However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, various manufacturers in the paperboard container market had to stop their business in countries, such as China, the U.S., and India. This break directly impacted the sales of paperboard container companies. In addition, lack of manpower and raw materials also constricted supply of raw materials for the paperboard container market, which negatively influenced the growth of the market. However, reopening of production facilities and introduction of vaccines for coronavirus disease are anticipated to lead to re-opening of paperboard container companies.
