Eco Gift-Box Market to Top US $2.3bn Next Year

A new Future Market Insights study pegs the rigid & folding gift-box segment at $2.3 bn by 2025 (CAGR 6.4 % to 2035), driven by luxury brands swapping plastic for FSC paperboard and soy inks. Asia–Pacific already accounts for the largest slice, thanks to premium e-commerce packaging in China, India and Japan. Innovations to watch: magnetic-closure “smart” boxes with NFC chips for product authentication and collapsible rigid walls that cut freight volume by 60 %. Regulatory nudges—from EU EPR rules to China’s 2024 “no-over-packaging” law—are accelerating the shift.

  • The kraft-paper drawer boxes meet both EU and Chinese recyclability tests—flag that dual compliance.

  • Offer low-MOQs on AR-ready QR print so boutique brands can pilot interactive unboxing experiences.
