Availability of packaged software solution is the key driver of the market. The corrugated packaging market encompasses various packaging materials, including wood, metal, and plastic, with a growing emphasis on sustainable practices. Plastic waste reduction is a significant trend in the industrial industry, FMCG sector, and retail sector, leading to the exploration of alternative packaging materials. Plastics, such as flexible and rigid packaging, remain prevalent, but there is a shift towards renewable and recyclable materials, such as biodegradable plastics and paper-based solutions. Corrugated packaging software plays a pivotal role in this transition. Packaged software solutions are increasingly popular, integrating with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), and Inventory Management, Order Management, Reporting and Analytics systems.
These solutions streamline the production process, from linerboard management to the manufacturing of Rigid Boxes, Self-Erecting Boxes, Telescope Boxes, and Slotted Boxes. Wall Construction options include Single-Wall, Double-Wall, and Triple-Wall designs, catering to various industries, such as Food and Beverages, Electronic Goods, Personal Care, and Healthcare. Digital printing and virtual reality technologies further enhance the customization and visualization of corrugated packaging designs. As the market evolves, 3D printing and biodegradability are emerging trends, offering innovative solutions for sustainable and cost-effective packaging. Titan Corrugated and other leading manufacturers benefit from these advancements, ensuring their competitiveness in the market.
Availability of cloud-based software is the upcoming trend in the market. The corrugated packaging market encompasses various types of packaging materials, including wood, metal, and plastic. With increasing awareness of sustainable packaging practices, the industrial industry and sectors such as FMCG and retail are exploring alternative packaging materials. Plastics, while widely used in flexible and rigid packaging, face criticism due to plastic waste. To address this concern, the market is shifting towards renewable and recyclable materials, such as biodegradable plastics and paper-based packaging. Rigid packaging solutions like Rigid Boxes, Self-Erecting Boxes, Telescope Boxes, and Slotted Boxes are popular in industries dealing with Food and Beverages, Electronic Goods, Personal Care, and Healthcare.
