What Are Key Factors Driving The Demand In The Global Paperboard Packaging Market?
The growing use of pre-packaged foods is predicted to boost the paperboard packaging industry's advancement. Pre-packaged foods are those that are sheltered from direct environmental contact via breathable or non-breathable wraps. They typically require paperboard packing as it doesn't negatively impact the food. Paperboard folding cartons are commonly used to encase frozen foods, dehydrated meals, dairy products, among others. For example, a report by Zawya, a media outlet based in the UAE, forecasted in September 2022 that the anticipated rise in demand for pre-packaged food is expected to see a 21% spike, amounting to 44 million tons by 2026. Certain regions' packaged food consumption is predicted to see significant rises, with Iraq expected to see a 28% increase, Saudi Arabia a 22% raise, and the UAE a 19% growth. As a result, the increasing use of pre-packaged foods is a key driver of the paperboard packaging industry's expansion.
