The Malaysia folding carton market faces challenges linked to the growing popularity of digital media and e-commerce. As digital media reduces the demand for printed materials, including folding cartons used for packaging, the industry must find ways to adapt and offer value-added solutions.

Meeting these evolving demands and maintaining cost competitiveness are key challenges for the market.
In the Malaysia folding carton market, the pandemic had mixed effects. While there was a decline in demand from certain industries such as luxury goods and cosmetics due to reduced consumer spending, there was a surge in demand from the food and pharmaceutical sectors. Consumers turned to packaged food products, and pharmaceutical companies ramped up production, leading to increased demand for folding cartons. Manufacturers have had to adapt to these shifts in demand to remain competitive.
The folding carton market in Malaysia is expected to witness significant growth, driven by the rising demand for packaging solutions in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics sectors. Prominent players in this market include CartonTech Malaysia, PackMaster Packaging, and PrintBox Malaysia.
