Abstract

US demand to approach $41 billion in 2012

Demand for corrugated and paperboard boxes is expected to rise 2.5% annually through 2012 to nearly $41 billion, with gains driven by an increase in manufacturing activity in both nondurable and durable goods. In addition, advances will be bolstered by the increasing importance of higher-value boxes offering improved printing and graphics capabilities as producers seek ways to boost the aesthetic appeal of boxes in the face of competition from alternative packaging. While boxes with more sophisticated graphics are typically more prevalent in the folding carton segment, changes in the retail landscape, including the popularity of warehouse club stores, have also prompted corrugated box makers to develop boxes that serve as attractive billboards.

Corrugated, solid fiber boxes to grow most rapidly

Corrugated and solid fiber boxes, which accounted for more than 70% of demand in 2007, will register the fastest growth based on their well-entrenched position as low-cost shipping containers in virtually all manufacturing sectors. Growth will also stem from the good environmental profile of corrugated boxes, which will become increasingly advantageous as interest in sustainable packaging continues to rise. In addition, value gains will be supported by rising demand for boxes utilizing more expensive white top linerboard grades that can accommodate high-quality printing.

Folding paperboard box demand wlll rise slower than corrugated box growth as folding cartons face heightened competition in many markets from alternative packaging such as pouches. In addition, a sharp deceleration in beverage shipments -- a major folding carton market -- will restrain demand. Demand for set-up boxes will primarily be driven by surging low-cost imports, as the labor intensive nature of such containers makes them more amenable to production in countries like China, which have substantially lower labor costs than the US.

Study coverage

It presents historical demand data (1997, 2002, 2007) as well as forecasts for 2012 and 2017 for boxes by type and market. In addition, the study evaluates company market shares and profiles 27 industry competitors.
