Microflutes are durable, lightweight corrugated boards with minimum thickness, made from a fluted corrugated sheet and one or two inner and outer sheets.
The micro-flute packaging material can be cut or folded into any shape or size as per the design requirements. The demand for micro-flute packaging materials is anticipated to increase supported by the growth of e-commerce packaging and food & beverage segments, with companies focused on expanding production capacities to meet the growing demand.
For instance, in December 2017, DS Smith Plc opened a new PackRight Centre in Germany, to develop innovative and creative display and packaging concepts and increase sales.

Market Dynamics

The higher penetration of internet shopping in consumer behavior has led to the development of innovative solutions for the packaging industry, improving the quality of micro flute packaging materials.
The extensive application of micro flute boards has resulted in a reduction of shipping costs as the material is lightweight, thus cost-saving is the key motivator of growth for the market.
The rise in demand for recyclable and eco-friendly packaging materials would also propel market growth, especially in the packaging of delicate products. The evolution of digital printing on micro-flute boards has also positively impacted the retail packaging industry, further driving the market growth.
The strict environmental regulations against the contamination of landfills might act as barriers to market growth. For instance, the implementation of federal regulations such as the Packaging (Essential Requirements) Regulations 2015 by the European Parliament and Council Directive and new regulations for food packaging by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) have resulted in companies having to adopt stringent production measures to reduce the emission of hazardous chemicals, thereby increasing production costs and increasing product prices.
