Application Trends
“Packaging & Protection is expected to remain widely used as well as the fastest-growing market application during the forecast period”.
- The market is segmented into outdoor signs & displays, packaging & protections, building solutions, and others.
- Packaging & Protection is expected to remain dominant as well as the fastest-growing application in the market during the forecast period. Corrugated PP is a preferred material for packaging applications owing to its impressive impact resistance. Its strength enhances the durability of containers and packaging systems, providing robust protection against impacts and ensuring the integrity of the packaged items.
- Key players are adopting recirculating packaging to reduce waste, promote recycling, and minimize environmental impact.
Thickness Trends
“<=5 MM is expected to remain the dominant and fastest-growing thickness type in the market during the forecast period”.
- The market is segmented into <=5 MM, 6-8 MM, and >8 MM.
- <=5 MM is expected to remain the dominant and fastest-growing thickness type in the market during the forecast period. Key advantages of this thickness type include lightweight, flexibility, ease of cutting and fabricating, and cost-effectiveness.
- Key applications of this thickness type include packaging of delicate items, electronics, food trays, signage, promotional displays, and printing substrates.
Material Trends
"PP is projected to remain the most preferred and fastest-growing material in the market throughout the forecast period".
- The market is segmented into PP and PE.
- PP is widely utilized across various industries due to its versatility and cost-effectiveness making it the dominant material of choice.
- PP can undergo recycling up to four times, while high-density PE demonstrates greater recyclability potential, with up to ten cycles possible. Despite the enhanced sustainability of high-density PE, PP remains economically advantageous offering a lower price point compared to PE.
- Additionally, the higher melting point of PP in comparison to PE, coupled with its superior chemical resistance, positions it as the preferred material for corrugated sheets.
