Corrugated & Paperboard Boxes Industry Study with Forecasts for 2016 & 2021
Report description
This study examines the US market for corrugated and paperboard boxes. Product segments discussed include corrugated and solid fiber boxes, folding paperboard boxes and set-up (rigid) boxes. The study excludes dairy cartons, paperboard trays and related foodservice items, aseptic cartons, composite cans and paperboard backings of blister packaging. Also excluded from the scope of the study are non-box corrugated products such as displays; pizza and cake circles; and protective packaging such as partitions, and corner and edge protectors.
Historical data (2001, 2006 and 2011) and forecasts to 2016 and 2021 are presented for corrugated and paperboard boxes by type and end-use market in current dollars (including inflation). Production data for corrugated boxes, folding cartons and set-up boxes are given in short tons, and corrugated and solid fiber box production and shipments are also presented in billions of square feet. Data are also provided for total paperboard production and consumption, and paperboard use in corrugated and paperboard boxes in short tons. (Note:
while production data in the study only cover actual boxes, paperboard production and consumption data include paperboard used in non-box items such as corrugated displays and paperboard blister packs.) Demand is equal to US production (shipments) plus imports minus exports, and is used interchangeably with “sales” and “consumption.”
