New York, Dec. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "UAE Corrugated Board Packaging Market - Growth, Trends, Forecasts (2020 - 2025)" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p05982378/?utm_source=GNW
The corrugated packaging is found in different styles, shapes, and sizes depending on the application. Due to its 100% recyclability and cost-effectiveness, it is widely used in the packaging industry.?

- The rising penetration of the e-commerce sector in the country is paving the way for corrugated packaging. According to Visa, e-commerce transactions in the United Arab Emirates accounted for USD 16 billion in 2019. Also, the United Arab Emirates represents the biggest annual spending per online shopper at USD 1,648 in the MENA region.
- The reason for the accelerated growth of the corrugated packaging market in the United Arab Emirates is due to the increase in environmental awareness among populations, demand for sustainable packaging solutions, demand for convenient packaging (offset by new restrictions on single-use in some countries), growing e-commerce market, and rise in need for electronic goods and home and personal care products, along with economic development and increasing per capita income. In the December 2018 Paper Arabia trade show, 25% of visitors were interested in the corrugated packaging segment, which was the highest among all the segments.
- The rising concerns by government and regulatory bodies in the country are regarding sustainable packaging and the cost benefits associated with it. This is also driving the growth of the corrugated packaging market in the country. For instance, in March 2020, the Abu Dhabi government launched a new policy to reduce single-use plastics. The restriction on single-use plastic is expected to create an opportunity for corrugated board packaging in many end-user industries, owing to its sustainability and recyclability features.
- Many global players have also started establishing their presence to meet the growing needs of the MENA region. Germany’s Planatol Group recently established its subsidiary Planatol Middle East FZE in the United Arab Emirates, to capture a market share of at least 20% from the corrugated cardboard packaging and perfect binding adhesives and glue segments’ solutions that it offer. This further underpins the huge potential for growth this region holds for the corrugated board packaging.
