Impact of COVID-19 on the Corrugated Packaging Market

The advent of COVID-19 had a negative impact on the corrugated packaging market as the industries came to a standstill during the period owing to the imposition of strict government protocols which severely disrupted the supply chains as well. The pandemic resulted in a decline in the sales of corrugated boxes in the year 2020, except for the pharmaceuticals industry, where the demand stayed along all year. Several industries witnessed a decline in the sales of their products as the consumers preferred to shop for only necessary items during the period in order to reduce human contact. The widespread scare of the pandemic allowed the factories to only operate at a lesser capacity resulting in a delay of the process. As the industries recover from the aftermaths of the pandemic, the demand for corrugated boxes is expected to witness an increase beginning from the year 2021 and the trend will continue in the forecast period as well.

Significant innovations being done in the e-commerce sector are expected to fuel the market during the forecast period.

The innovations and developments done by the end-user sectors in order to make the supply chain more reliable and avoid any damages to the product during delivery will be a tailwind to the market in the coming years.

Increasing awareness about product damages during the supply chain will drive the market in the coming years.
