Increase in E-commerce Platforms Pushing Growth of Mailer Boxes Market
For e-commerce companies, final logistics are a big obstacle. The main issues impeding the expansion of e-commerce enterprises globally are inefficiencies caused by product damage in transportation and expensive e-commerce packaging expenses.
Businesses involved in e-commerce, mail, and postal services continuously search for cost-effective packaging materials to reduce overall package expenses. As a result, they are using mailer boxes to transport products.
Mailer boxes are inexpensive, recyclable, lightweight, and environmentally friendly. Similarly, another benefit of mailer boxes is their ease of printing and ample printing area. The market for mailer paper boxes is highly fragmented and controlled by small and medium-sized producers.
With growing consumer inclination towards purchasing items through the internet and a rapid surge in e-commerce platforms, global sales of mailer boxes are slated to increase during the assessment period.
Rapid Shift Towards Sustainable Packaging Solutions to Boost Mailer Box Sales
The fact that mailer boxes can be recycled after use and are generally constructed from recyclable materials makes them environmentally friendly. Therefore, personalized mailer boxes are the ideal packaging choice for eco-friendly brands.
Environmentally friendly packaging is becoming more important to consumers, and they are more likely to buy products from companies that try to protect the environment. Studies and polls indicate that new internet shoppers are likely to keep buying online. Because they are recyclable and biodegradable, mailer boxes have minimal environmental impact. Environmental friendliness is expected to improve consumers' choice of these products over competing plastic and polymer goods.
One of the main drivers of the mailer box market's unstoppable growth is estimated to be the products' minimal carbon footprint and simplicity of recycling. A whopping 57% of consumers are calculated to pay more for corrugated packaging options that may be customized and environmentally friendly.
The global market registered a CAGR of 4.6% during the historical period of 2018 to 2022. Mailer boxes are disposable packaging containers generally made by assembling three layers of corrugated cardboard sheets.
These boxes protect delicate goods during transportation and are light, flexible, biodegradable, recyclable, and economical. They hold up well when exposed to unfavorable circumstances like wetness and abrupt temperature changes.
Mailer boxes also contribute to extending the shelf life of items and reducing the chance of microbial contamination. As a result, they are widely used across various industries for efficiently packaging goods. Before the creation of the cardboard box, wooden crates were the common method of material transportation. However, those rigid containers were quite expensive and difficult to reproduce on a large scale.
As they are created without hazardous chemicals and are simple to recycle, mailer boxes are also good for the environment. The market for mailer boxes is anticipated to grow more quickly throughout the forecast period.

Some recent developments in the market are as follows -
Mondi and Pratt are Transforming Mailer Boxes Space Through Recyclability and Expansion Strategies
The spurt in global e-commerce has increased demand for a range of packaging products. Ensuring these products are shipped safely to end users is a key focus area for leading e-commerce players.
Mondi Group
One of the leading mailer box manufacturer is focusing on boosting its recyclability operations. For instance, in August 2022, the company announced opening a laboratory in Frantschach, Austria, to test how paper-based materials with non-paper components, such as coatings, are estimated to perform in large-scale recycling mills.
According to the firm, this is estimated to help improve its existing products and provide reliable information about their environmental impact. It also estimated to use the results to determine how the design of new packaging can be improved and how best to improve the circularity of its material flows.
Mondi also plans to acquire the Duino mill near Trieste, Italy, from the Burgo Group for €40 million. The mill currently operates one paper machine producing lightweight coated mechanical paper. Mondi said it plans to convert this machine to produce around 420,000 tonnes of high-quality recycled containerboard per annum-for an estimated investment of about €200 million.
The company also acquired paper bag converting lines from National Bag and Egypt Sack, two subsidiaries of Lafarge Cement Egypt, in April 2022. The company's subsidiary, Mondi Paper Bags, signed a long-term supply agreement, making Mondi a key supplier of paper bags for Lafarge Cement Egypt.
Similarly, to meet the demand from growing online grocery delivery services across central Europe, Mondi recently (August 2021) launched a new range of sustainable corrugated packaging solutions.
Pratt Industries
The company is strengthening its global operations through mergers, acquisitions, and opening new production facilities. For instance, in June 2022, Pratt Industries announced it had purchased an HP PageWide roll-to-roll preprint press to meet its customers’ growing demand for sustainable packaging and to offer more flexible and agile supply chains.
The company also announced a USD 400 million investment in 2021, which has since grown to USD 500 million, to support the construction of a 500,000-square feet box factory. It is estimated to produce corrugated sheets and boxes, including pizza boxes and packaging for significant distributors and big box stores, with paper sourced from the new state-of-the-art 650,000-s.f. Paper mill, which produces 100% recycled paper.
