Solid Board Market Set to Cross US$ 13 Bn in 2029; Preference for Eco-friendly Packaging Materials Catalyzing Growth

The rising demand for solid boards can be attributed to their increasing application for manufacturing packaging and promotional products such as boxes, layer pads, and POP displays. Solid boards are mostly preferred for manufacturing boxes, as they have a flat and compact structure and better printability. Moreover, solid boards are made from recycled paper and are also fully recyclable. Key drivers driving the growth of the solid board market are point-of-sale appeal and cost-effective packaging solutions, coupled with sustainability offered by solid boards over alternatives such as plastic or metal products. Moreover, rising consumer preference for eco-friendly products has boosted the demand for solid boards for manufacturing packaging & promotional products on a global scale.

On the back of these factors, the solid board market is projected to register a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period, and reach a valuation of US$ 13.2 Bn by 2029.
