Over the coming years, the impact of pharma and healthcare demand for folding cartons will become more and more visible,” states a TMR analyst.
Takeaway Food Services Carrying Folding Carton Demand
Another key factor of influence over the ASEAN folding cartons market is the rise of the food delivery services in the region. Thanks to the growing use of the internet and ecommerce, more and more people are able to avail home delivery services for fresh foods and beverages.

The ASEAN folding cartons market, however, is expected to face stiff competition from its conventional counterpart, flexible packaging and rigid packaging. Both forms of packaging have been highly prominent in the region and the lack of awareness of consumers and end users towards the benefits of using folding cartons is limiting the growth of the ASEAN folding cartons market. This is expected to change over the immediate future, as more consumers begin to prefer folding cartons.
