Print this Article | Send to Colleague
The corrugated diecutting market is booming — and for good reason. As packaging demand continues to climb worldwide, die-cut cardboard has become a primary source of packaging across countless industries. In 2024, the global corrugated carton market was valued at USD 171.37 billion and is projected to grow to USD 230.87 billion by 2032. Within that, the die cut carton market alone reached USD 39.96 billion in 2024 and is forecast to hit USD 58.01 billion by 2032. According to Fortune Business Insights, this growth is fueled by the unstoppable rise of e-commerce, increasing demand for sustainable packaging, and ongoing advancements in printing technology.
