Poland’s cardboard packaging market is estimated to be worth some PLN 4.6 billion (€1.1 billion), and it is expected to expand by about 7% annually in the forthcoming years.

The cardboard packaging segment represents about 30% of the country’s pacakging market, according to data released by local in-dustry association ECMA.

Figures obtained by local daily Gazeta Wyborcza suggest that about 49% of the Polish cardboard packaging industry's output is intended for export sales. Some of the main export destinations of local card-board packaging makers include the UK and Germany.
