By 2022, demand for folding cartons is expected to grow by 3.9 percent annually to $12.8 billion.

In 2018, the trump administration imposed a 10 percent tariff on folding cartons exported from China, and plans to increase it to 25 percent by January 1, 2019.

But in December 2018, China and the United States agreed to temporarily stop raising tariffs.

A new study finds that the corrugated and cardboard sectors are on a growth trend, and that continued tariff increases, if planned, will lead to increased domestic production and a faster transition to flexible packaging.

Despite the us accounting for 5 per cent of demand in 2017, the sector is still running a trade deficit.
