According to 6Wresearch, Zambia Corrugated Board Market revenue size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% during 2026-2032. Zambia’s corrugated board market has experienced growth due to rapid urbanization, expansion of e-commerce, and new sustainability regulations that favor recyclable, paper-based materials over plastics. The market experienced further growth driven by rising demand from the agricultural sector for robust packaging to reduce post-harvest losses and increased investment in local manufacturing, which reduces reliance on imported, pre-packaged goods.

Agricultural production in Zambia has experienced significant growth in recent years, largely driven by increased maize production, which has surged. With high national consumption, the country is witnessing an increase, positioning Zambia as a regional food exporter, transforming the country from a net importer into a regional exporter. This shift drives strong demand for corrugated board as surplus agricultural output requires efficient packaging solutions for storage, transportation, and export logistics.

The market is expected to expand significantly due to the rapid growth of Zambia’s annual food demand, which is projected to increase by 2030, with processed health foods and perishables expected to be the highest in demand. This would act as a major catalyst for the expansion of the corrugated board market, driven by the increasing need for protective, hygienic, and sustainable packaging solutions across food supply chains.
