Strengthening Kuwait’s Corrugated Packaging with Shalbond Gum Powder Solutions

Introduction

Kuwait’s corrugated packaging market is booming, projected to grow at a 6.5% CAGR through 2030 to reach over USD 1.2 billion. As e-commerce, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemical sectors expand, demand for durable, high-strength corrugated boxes is surging. However, extreme summer heat (40 °C) and 60% relative humidity challenge traditional starch adhesives, causing up to 7% delamination failures and driving up maintenance costs.
