英国(UK)瓦楞纸板包装市场-IMG1

瓦楞包装有多种样式、形状和尺寸,取决于用途。由于它 100% 可回收且具有成本效益,因此被广泛应用于包装行业。

主要亮点

  • 食品包装的成长和各行业对轻质瓦楞纸箱购买量的增加正在推动对瓦楞包装的需求。此外,创新的瓦楞设计透过有效的体积利用实现了卓越的印刷效果并节省了成本,从而推动了市场需求。

  • 瓦楞包装製造商正在直接与电子商务供应商合作,以提供更灵活和可客製化的解决方案。根据英国国家统计局的数据,2021 年 1 月,英国网路销售额占零售额的 37.8%,随后有所回落。这可以视为市场稳定效应的下降。
  • 国内几家主要供应商正在创新其产品,以满足日益增长的瓦楞包装解决方案需求。例如,2021 年 8 月,总部位于英国的 Mondi 为整个中欧的线上杂货市场推出了一系列永续纸板包装解决方案。
  • 在新冠疫情爆发后,由于食品和其他消费品、医疗和医药产品、纸巾和卫生产品等必需品的运输包装需求,该地区对瓦楞包装的需求显着增长。此外,俄罗斯和乌克兰之间的战争正在影响整个包装生态系统。
  • 此外,一些公司正在推出新的瓦楞包装产品,以满足 COVID-19 危机带来的需求。例如,DS Smith 开发了一个特殊的紧急配送箱,以满足食品零售业对更安全的宅配日益增长的需求。

英国瓦楞包装市场的趋势

电子商务行业可望刺激需求

  • 近年来,电子商务产业已成为英国的重要产业。亚马逊等知名电子商务公司使用瓦楞纸箱作为主要包装,并依赖塑胶包装单一物品。根据GWP集团统计,电子商务占英国所有业务的20%以上,90%的电子商务订单都是透过瓦楞纸箱运送的。

  • 推动瓦楞纸箱取代纸箱的另一个因素是电子商务包装的引入,以能够承受运输测试的纸箱取代轻便、易于打开的纸箱。用于电子商务的瓦楞纸箱更有可能印刷高品质的图形并根据包装内容进行定制,从而节省成本并增加打开时的美感。
  • 为了满足电子商务产业对瓦楞包装解决方案日益增长的需求,各大供应商都在推出新产品。 2022 年 9 月,VPK 集团推出了新的欧洲折迭瓦楞包装解决方案品牌 fit2size,以支持其在整个欧洲开发折迭瓦楞包装解决方案的成长策略。该公司基于其最新的 Fanfold 创新推出了新产品,以满足日益增长的电子商务和物流包装需求,进一步加强了其提供卓越永续包装解决方案的雄心。

生鲜食品和农产品产业预计将获得巨大发展

  • 食品业正透过采用瓦楞包装解决方案迅速向环保包装迈进。人们对食品包装卫生的日益关注为包装行业制定了多项标准,并刺激了该国采用环保包装解决方案。
  • 欧盟关于食品接触材料的法规 1935/2004 和关于良好生产规范 (GMP) 的法规 2023/2006 是管理欧盟食品应用纸板包装的法律。这对食品业获取卫生和永续的包装解决方案提出了许多挑战。 2021年11月,代表包括英国在内的整个欧洲瓦楞包装行业的欧洲瓦楞包装工业联合会(FEFCO)发布了《瓦楞包装可回收性指南》,旨在透过纸和纸板包装的设计参数来优化可回收性。
  • 水果易碎且易腐烂,因此必须小心包装。对于硬质水果运输包装来说,瓦楞纸板(CFB)是最环保的解决方案。瓦楞纸箱因其对空运、海运和陆运的适应性提高而受到水果出口商的大量需求。
  • 市场上有多家解决方案供应商正在采用可回收包装解决方案。例如,2022 年 1 月,Oumph!宣布计划在所有市场使用可回收纸板包装,并逐步淘汰食品包装中的塑胶。

英国瓦楞包装行业概况

英国瓦楞包装市场比较分散,许多公司都提供新的解决方案。此外,一些跨国公司也正在扩大在英国的业务,以增强其影响力。市场参与者也正在建立策略伙伴关係和联盟,以增加其市场占有率并最大限度地提高其市场吸引力。例如

  • 2022 年 10 月,VPK Packaging Group NV(VPK)收购了位于英国北剪切机的私营瓦楞纸板公司 CorrBoard UK Ltd 30% 的股份。 CorrBoard UK 将得到 Rigid Containers Ltd. 的全力支持,这是一家 VPK 公司,每年在英国和爱尔兰加工 3.4 亿平方米的瓦楞材料。
  • 2022 年 5 月,Smurfit Kappa 收购了瓦楞纸箱公司 Atlas Packaging。 Atlas Packaging 是一家独立的瓦楞纸包装供应商,在该国拥有重要业务,生产能力为 500-1000 单位。

The United Kingdom Corrugated Board Packaging Market size is estimated at USD 12.13 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 14.68 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

United Kingdom (UK) Corrugated Board Packaging - Market - IMG1

Corrugated packaging is found in different styles, shapes, and sizes, depending on the application. Due to its 100% recyclability and cost-effectiveness, it is widely used in the packaging industry.

Key Highlights

  • Food packaging growth and increased purchases of lightweight corrugated boxes across industries are factors driving corrugated board packaging demand. Furthermore, innovative fluting design drives market demand by providing superior printing and cost savings through effective volume utilization.
  • Rising demand for sustainable packaging solutions and the growing packaging needs of e-commerce platforms are expected to drive market growth. However, the concern about the durability of corrugated board, as it gets deformed if exposed to extreme pressure or when stacked, is limiting the market's growth.
  • Manufacturers of corrugated board packaging work directly with e-commerce vendors to provide more agile and customizable solutions. According to the Office of National Statistics, internet sales in the United Kingdom increased to a record 37.8% of retail sales in January 2021, before declining in the following months. This can be viewed as a diminishing effect of market stabilization.
  • Several key vendors in the country are indulging in product innovation to address the rising demand for corrugated packaging solutions. For instance, in August 2021, Mondi, a company headquartered in the United Kingdom, introduced its sustainable range of corrugated packaging solutions for the online grocery market across Central Europe.
  • With the outbreak of COVID-19, the demand for corrugated board packaging in the region is witnessing significant growth due to the need for transport packaging of essential products, such as packaging for food and other consumer products, medical and pharmaceutical products, tissues, and hygiene products. Further, the Russia-Ukraine war has an impact on the overall packaging ecosystem.
  • Moreover, several companies are launching new corrugated packaging products to meet the requirements arising from the COVID-19 crisis. For instance, DS Smith developed special emergency provision boxes to meet the increased demand for safer home delivery in the food retail sector.

UK Corrugated Board Packaging Market Trends

E-commerce Industry Expected to Stimulate Demand

  • The e-commerce industry has emerged as a significant sector in recent years in the United Kingdom. Prominent e-commerce companies, such as Amazon, have been using corrugated board boxes for the principal packaging and relying on plastic packaging for individual items. According to GWP Group, e-commerce accounts for more than 20% of the total businesses in the United Kingdom, and 90% of e-commerce orders are shipped in corrugated boxes.
  • According to the Office of National Statistics of the United Kingdom, the country's e-commerce revenue stands at GBP 129 billion (USD 177.47 billion) in 2021. On a sectoral basis, wholesale and manufacturing were the two leading industry sectors that generated the most e-commerce sales in the same year
  • Another factor allowing corrugated boxes to overtake paperboard cartons is the introduction of e-commerce-ready packaging, which replaces lightweight and easy-to-open cartons with boxes that can withstand shipping rigors. Corrugated boxes used for e-commerce are more likely to be printed with high-quality graphics and customized to fit packaged contents to save on costs and increase the aesthetic impact during unboxing.
  • Key vendors are introducing new products in response to the growing demand for corrugated board packaging solutions from the e-commerce industry. In September 2022, VPK Group launched its new European brand fit2size for Fanfold corrugated packaging solutions in response to its growth strategy to develop Fanfold corrugated packaging solutions across Europe. The company has launched a new product based on the latest Fanfold innovation to meet the increasing demand for e-commerce and logistics packaging and further strengthen its ambition to supply excellent sustainable packaging solutions.

Fresh Food and Produce Industry Expected to Gain Significant Traction

  • The food industry is rapidly moving toward eco-friendly packaging by adopting corrugated board packaging solutions. The increasing concern for hygiene in food packaging has mandated several standards for the packaging industry and stimulated the adoption of eco-friendly packaging solutions in the country.
  • The EU Regulation 1935/2004 on food contact materials and Regulation 2023/2006 on good manufacturing practice (GMP) are the laws applicable to corrugated packaging used in food applications in the EU. Hence, this poses several challenges in acquiring hygienic and sustainable packaging solutions for the food industry. In November 2021, the European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers (FEFCO), which represents the corrugated packaging industry across Europe, including the United Kingdom, released its corrugated packaging recyclability guidelines aimed at optimizing recyclability via design parameters for paper and board packaging.
  • Fruit packing necessitates extreme caution due to the product's fragile and perishable nature. Regarding rigid fruit transport packaging, corrugated fiberboard (CFB) is the most environmentally friendly solution. Corrugated boxes have recently gained a significant demand from fruit exporters owing to their improved adaptability for air, sea, and road transport.
  • Several solution providers on the market are adopting recyclable packaging solutions. For instance, in January 2022, Oumph! One of the rapidly growing plant-based food producers from the UK announced plans to phase out plastic in its food product packaging by using recyclable cardboard packaging in all of its markets.

UK Corrugated Board Packaging Industry Overview

The United Kingdom corrugated board packaging market is fragmented owing to the presence of many players with new solutions in the country. Also, several global players are expanding their presence by expanding their operations in the United Kingdom. The market players are also forming strategic partnerships and collaborations to boost their market presence and gain maximum market traction. For instance,

  • In October 2022, a 30% share in CorrBoard UK Ltd, a privately held corrugated sheet company in North Lincolnshire, United Kingdom, was purchased by VPK Packaging Group NV (VPK). CorrBoard UK would be fully supported by the Rigid Containers Ltd, a VPK company that converts 340 Million m2 corrugated material annually in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
  • In May 2022, Smurfit Kappa acquired cardboard box company Atlas Packaging an independent corrugated packaging provider that has a significant domestic presence having production capacity ranging from 500 to 1000 units.
