The latest survey shows that the annual sales of paper barrel packaging today reach 2010 billion yuan. Experts predict that with the increasing demand for paper barrels, the annual sales of paper barrel packaging will reach 250 billion dollars in 2016 and exceed 800 billion dollars in 2020. This data surprised all packaging companies, and no one expected such a large business opportunity for a cheap small paper barrel, So what is causing the continuous increase in sales of paper barrels?

Firstly, the continuous improvement of paper barrel performance and the gradual expansion of application fields. After the birth of the idea of replacing iron with paper, scientists have never stopped researching and developing paper barrels. The load-bearing capacity, pressure resistance, moisture resistance, and appearance of paper barrels have significantly increased, especially in terms of durability, breaking the softness of traditional paper barrels. The new type of paper barrel can bear up to 200 kilograms, meeting the packaging and transportation needs of most items. Currently, it is mainly used for packaging import and export items.

Secondly, there is the decline of plastic packaging. Based on data from the past two years, the prices of raw materials for plastic packaging are increasing year by year, leading to plastic packaging manufacturers having to increase their product sales prices. This has led to many plastic packaging manufacturers cutting corners, reducing costs, and self destructing the Great Wall, giving the rise of paper barrel packaging an opportunity.

Finally, the clean and hygienic characteristics of paper barrel packaging. The earliest use of paper barrel packaging was by businesses in the food industry. Compared to plastic packaging, paper barrels are cleaner, hygienic, and free from chemical pollution, which is the best choice for consumers when purchasing snacks and also the reason for the long-lasting popularity of paper barrel packaging.
