In year 2020, the containerboard market is expected to witness the slow growth due to COVID 19 pandemic.

These businesses majorly include food & beverages, FMCG, home care, fruits & vegetables, personal care & cosmetics, pharmaceutical, e-commerce, automobile, electronics & home appliances, travel, hospitality, and export & logistics. These businesses require containerboards for the packaging of their materials.
