Market volume represents the consumption of packaging products in a specific year, while the market value is calculated by multiplying the average manufacturer’s price of packaging materials by the market volume.
• The containers & packaging market is segmented into paper, plastic, glass, and metal. Folding carton boards, comprised of several layers of fibrous wood pulp, are commonly known as paper segment products. They are extensively used in various industries to package different products. These boards are often coated with polyethylene and lined with aluminum foil to enhance their moisture resistance and durability.
