Introduction

Global Kraft Liner Market (USD Million), 2021 - 2031

In the year 2024, the Global Kraft Liner Market was valued at USD 31,009.64 million. The size of this market is expected to increase to USD 42,483.33 million by the year 2031, while growing at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.6%.

The global kraft liner market is a dynamic and essential segment of the packaging industry, primarily driven by the growing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable packaging solutions. Kraft liner is a type of paperboard that is typically used as the outer layer in corrugated boxes, providing both strength and durability. It is made from wood pulp, a renewable resource, which gives it an advantage over synthetic alternatives that rely on petroleum-based products. The increasing focus on reducing environmental footprints and the need for recyclable, biodegradable packaging materials has propelled the adoption of kraft liner across various industries, including e-commerce, food and beverages, and consumer goods.

The market for kraft liner has been expanding due to the significant rise in e-commerce and online retail, which require robust and reliable packaging solutions. Kraft liner’s excellent printing quality, combined with its strength and recyclability, makes it a preferred material for shipping boxes and packaging solutions. The surge in global trade, along with the growing demand for packaged goods, has led to a consistent need for kraft liner products. This, coupled with the rise of sustainable consumer practices, has reinforced the market's positive outlook and encouraged businesses to invest in greener alternatives for their packaging needs.

In addition to e-commerce, other key applications of kraft liner include packaging for food products, electronics, and various consumer goods. The shift towards sustainable packaging practices in these sectors, driven by consumer preference and regulatory requirements, is expected to continue to boost demand for kraft liner in the foreseeable future. The market is also influenced by innovations in manufacturing processes, which are improving the quality and cost-effectiveness of kraft liner products, making them more accessible to a broader range of industries. With these trends, the global kraft liner market is poised for continued growth and development in the coming years.
