The North America and Europe reusable corrugated boxes market size is expected to reach USD 5.28 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. This is attributed to the increased e-commerce activities in North America & Europe due to the growing trend of online purchasing. This industry utilizes reusable corrugated boxes to ship its products in large and bulk quantities as they are a cheaper and sustainable alternative to plastic secondary packaging boxes.
Corrugated boxes based on recycled fibers lack strength. This leads end-use partners of corrugated boxes such as e-commerce platforms to reuse existing ones as they exhibit higher strength than recycled ones. The growing online purchasing trend among consumers is leading to a boom in the e-commerce sector. This, in turn, is expected to drive the demand for reusable corrugated boxes to reduce packaging costs.
The growing sustainable packaging awareness attracts investments and funding from private sources to boost the adoption of corrugated boxes. For instance, on March 20, 2023, ElmTree Funds, in collaboration with JB2 Partners, funded WestRock’s new 410,000-square-foot corrugated box plant in Longview, Washington.
Several manufacturers are adopting numerous strategies, such as new product development, for key market players to enhance and innovate their products. For instance, on June 8, 2023, Eco-Latch Systems developed a box latch for reusable corrugated box manufacturers. This latch is a plastic device to securely hold the top flaps of a reusable corrugated cardboard box in a closed position.
