This Recycled White Lined Chipboard market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.
The recycled white lined chipboard market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.08 billion in 2024 to $1.23 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to demand for high quality and environment friendly products, growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions, rise of e-commerce and online retailing, government initiatives and regulations to promote recycling, and rising awareness about the benefits of using recycled materials.
The recycled white lined chipboard market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.08 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing awareness of environmental sustainability and conservation, food and beverage industry's shift to sustainable packaging, increasing demand from packaging and printing industries, the growing popularity of eco-friendly products among consumers, and increasing in various end-use sectors. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancement in production of high-quality chemicals, government rules and industry’s standards, product launches, new technologies to enhance their product portfolio, and advancements in recycling technology and cost-effectiveness.
The growing demand from the food and beverages industry is expected to drive the expansion of the recycled white-lined chipboard market in the future. The food and beverages industry encompasses the sector responsible for producing, processing, and selling food and beverages for human consumption. The rising demand for recycled white-lined chipboard from this industry can be attributed to sustainability concerns, consumer preferences, brand image, and corporate social responsibility. Recycled white-lined chipboard offers a sustainable, cost-effective, and versatile packaging solution, aligning with the food and beverage industry's objectives of reducing environmental impact and meeting the increasing demand for eco-friendly products. For example, in November 2024, the US Department of Agriculture reported that in 2023, U.S. households spent an average of 12.9% of their total expenses on food, a slight increase from 12.8% in 2022. Therefore, the growing demand from the food and beverages industry is contributing to the growth of the recycled white-lined chipboard market.
Major companies in the recycled white-lined chipboard market are actively developing innovative chipboard materials, such as recycled end-of-life (EOL) composites, to meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions. Recycled EOL composites refer to materials that have completed their original usage cycle and are then processed and repurposed into new materials or products. For example, in March 2023, Anmet, a Poland-based manufacturer specializing in chipboard panels, introduced chipboard panels created through its patented shredding and manufacturing process. These panels utilize recycled end-of-life composites, including materials such as wind turbine blades, to produce high-performance, sustainable chipboards tailored for construction applications. This innovation offers several advantages over conventional chipboard plates, including reduced wood consumption and eliminating the need for a drying process during manufacturing. By focusing on recycled EOL composites, companies such as Anmet are not only advancing sustainable practices but also meeting the increasing market demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions in sectors such as construction and beyond.
