Paperboard Mills in the US - Industry Market Research Report


Paperboard Mills in the US

Operators in the Paperboard Mills industry produce paperboard, an intermediate good used primarily in manufacturing cardboard boxes. Industry demand is driven mainly by consumer purchases of products that use these containers for shipping and packaging. Despite growing consumer spending since 2018, the industry has struggled with greater import penetration into the US manufacturing sector, which has reduced demand for US-produced paperboard. Revenue gains have also been limited as paperboard products have contended with rising competition from substitute materials, especially plastic packaging. Overall, revenue decreased by a CAGR of 0.1% to $41.0 billion over the past five years, despite a 1.7% increase in 2023.

This industry processes pulp, used paper and old corrugated containers (OCC) into various paperboard varieties, including unbleached and bleached packaging paperboard, coated paperboard, industrial converting paperboard and recycled paperboard. The paperboard this industry produces is sold mainly to cardboard box and container manufacturers and to a range of consumer and industrial product producers for further processing.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
