Market Growth Factors

It is generally thought that the export-oriented nature of Turkey's industrial base will drive the demand for corrugated boxes. Turkey is geographically located in the center of Europe, Middle East and Central Asia; it is a hub for textiles, automotive parts, white goods and agrifoods. All these categories use corrugated packaging that can negotiate the vagaries of multimodal transport. Automotive manufacturers and machinery exporters may use heavy-duty cartons with die-cut edges or molded products. As fruit and vegetable exporters move towards longer periods of cold-chain storage, ventilated cartons with moisture-proof liners are used. The rise of free trade agreements and new logistics corridors has led to increased demand from packaging suppliers for a higher pallet load density as well for meeting a wider range of destination specifications.

Domestic retailing and e-commerce sales are increasing rapidly, as is demand for functional and high-graphic corrugated boxes. Organized retail chains and discount supermarkets, as well as e-commerce sites, prefer retail-ready boxes because they ease easy shelf replenishment, increase product visibility, and reduce labor costs. E-commerce companies prefer packaging that is tamper-obvious, returnable, and space-efficient, while Turkish SMEs that are making their transition to a web-based commercial setting prefer corrugated as it allows branded packaging to increase brand recognition. Joint packaging between logistics service providers and converters to optimize multi-size cartons, in conjunction with demand forecasting systems, have led to a meaningful reduction in stockouts and packaging waste in the domestic market.

Increasing sustainability pressures, due to the gradual adoption of EU environmental legislation and increasing consumer awareness, are expected to drive sustainable packaging production demand in Turkey. EPR schemes and municipal investments in recycling practices are expected to improve the supply of secondary fiber, stabilize input prices, and lower environmental impacts. Converters invest in digital printers and modular production technologies so that they can run short runs and custom products. They lightweight their products to reduce material usage and transportation emissions. Corrugated packaging is now a key factor in branding and company resilience due to regulations, environmental factors, and corporate pressure.
