Historic Market Outlook for Pallet Corner Boards

The global pallet corner board market witnessed a CAGR of 4.0% during the historic period with a market value of US$ 536.2 Million in 2022.

How logistics is attributing to the steady increase of pallet corner boards sales

Globalization, the emergence of e-commerce websites, the rise in consumerism, and ease of communication and transportation across vast distances have fueled the logistics industry in the past decade.

This owes to the fact that an increase in consignment leads to higher chances of damage to the items as even a slight blow or jolt to the packaging box can cause the item inside it to get disfigured easily especially if it is fragile.

Logistics companies strive hard to make any product reach its destination from the dispatch center while not only maintaining its utmost quality but also ensuring that no substandard product is delivered. Adding pallet corner boards to boxes as a protective measure at an economical cost saves huge costs of logistic facilities and management while corroborating the safety of goods. Due to the increasing utilization of logistics, the scope of the pallet corner board market is also expanding.
