Market Dynamics

Introduction:

What are corrugated sheets?

The corrugated sheet is the twin-extrude configuration of a corrugated cross-section joined by vertical ribs. PP and PE are versatile types of plastic characterized by their lightweight and moderate strength and can be found in primary industries such as construction, packaging, automotive, healthcare, food service, electronics, and aerospace. Corrugated sheets boast a wide range of applications such as packaging, signage, and construction. The reason behind this wide range is their versatility and numerous utilities.

Market Drivers:

• The growing demand for environmentally friendly goods and the implementation of sustainability policies across different regions are compelling industries to provide sustainable solutions. Corrugated sheets can be recycled, and along with this PP is more economical than the vast majority of packaging materials.

Segment Analysis

By Application Type

“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 & protection, 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.

By Thickness Type

“<=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.

By Material Type

"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 advantageou,s 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.

Regional Analysis

“Europe is expected to remain the largest market for global corrugated sheets, whereas Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period”.

• In terms of region, Europe is expected to remain the largest market for global corrugated sheets during the forecast period.
• Europe is the dominant region due to the presence of many key players and the higher demand for PP in this region, as Europe is highly inclined towards sustainability, and PP, being a recyclable material, makes it the preferred material in this region.
• Asia-Pacific is poised to emerge as the fastest-growing market due to its expanding presence across various end-use markets, which drives the demand for packaging materials like corrugated PP and PE. The diverse applications of corrugated sheets across a wide range of industries contribute significantly to their growth trajectory.
