Half Slotted Carton Market: Analysis by Recent Trends, Development and Growth

Posted by Kishor on June 4th, 2019

Over the years, the mounting consumer inclination towards convenient, light-weight product packaging solutions has forced the packaging industry to set forth well-structured paper & paperboard packaging solutions with a goal to tap the retail industry. Among these packaging types, regular slotted containers (RSC) made from sheets of corrugated cardboard are the most promising packaging type and are increasingly used in the secondary packaging of goods across a varied range of industries. The half slotted carton / box / container is a largely preferred variant of regular slotted containers (RSC), owing to the growing need of removing or repeatedly replacing the one-side flap cover in order to display the final product.

In line with key developments in the packaging / converting industries, the market for corrugated packaging has seeing remarkable growth. Growing demand for sustainable packaging from fresh foods and beverages, home & personal care goods and consumer goods, coupled with the remarkable progress of the e-commerce industry, is accelerating the market growth of half slotted cartons across the world.

Key developments & Trends

Established market players that currently manufacture regular as well as half slotted cartons are out to acquire or collaborate with local/regional players in order to expand their market presence and gain significant market shares.

For instance:

• In 2015, the company announced the purchase of the sheet manufacturing operations of Cano Container Corporation (also a manufacturer of half slotted carton) in Aurora, Illinois
• During March 2016, DS Smith acquired the U.K.-based TRM Packaging Ltd, a manufacturer / supplier of printed packaging products for food, drink, and FMCG markets

The Road Ahead

The market for half slotted cartons is vastly driven by growth in a number of organized retail stores such as supermarkets, hypermarket and departmental stores. The shift in consumer lifestyle patterns has elevated the growth of in-store retail trade amongst emerging economies wherein manufacturers have extensively adopted the use of corrugated packaging solutions, such as half slotted cartons, to ensure the easy branding & promotion of marketed goods.

However, increased customer inclination toward mobile & desktop content has made brand-owners invest more in digital advertising, thus hampering the demand for tangible display packaging solutions. This may restrain the growth of the half slotted carton market across the globe.
