Canada Paper and Paperboard Packaging Market: Overview, Insights & Potential

Paper and paperboard-based materials comprise some of among the earliest and most widely used types of packaging. Their adaptability can be seen in a variety of uses, from the fragile, infusible tissues found in tea and coffee sachets to the robust boards that are essential for distribution. Over one-third of the packaging market is made up of these materials, which are utilised extensively in all phases of production, distribution, marketing, and consumption. Primary packaging at the place of sale, secondary packaging for distribution and storage, and other applications are all covered by their purposes.

Paper and paperboard, made of interwoven cellulose fibres, have versatile qualities that allow printing and manipulation into rigid or flexible packaging utilising methods including cutting, creasing, folding, and securing. Among the noteworthy developments are the 12.5% increase in paper production that occurred in January 2023, totalling 67,100 tonnes, and the 6.7% increase in paper production that occurred cumulatively between April 2022 and January 2023, totalling 5,553,900 tonnes in November 2022, there was an 11.1% increase in the production of paper goods.
