Cardboard Boxes, Cartons and Fibreboard Packing Cases: 4th quarter 1982 (Business Monitors)

Industry Risk Ratings Synopsis

This Industry Risk Ratings report from IBISWorld evaluates the inherent risks associated with the Cardboard Box & Container Manufacturing in the US industry. Industry Risk is assumed to be 'the difficulty, or otherwise, of the business operating environment'.

The report looks at the operational risk associated with this industry. Three types of risk are recognized in our analysis. These are: risk arising from within the industry itself (structural risk), risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry (growth risk) and risk arising from forces external to the industry (external sensitivity risk).

This approach is new in that it analyses non-financial information surrounding each industry. Industries are scored on a 9-point scale, where 1 represents the lowest risk and 9 the highest. The Industry Risk score measures expected Industry Risk over the coming 12-18 months.

Industry Definition

Operators in this industry convert purchased paper, paperboard and old corrugated containers (OCC) into cardboard boxes, containers and similar packaging solutions. The industry produces corrugated and solid cardboard packaging for a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, agriculture, wholesale, shipping, retail and others.

Risk Overview

The Risk Overview chapter includes sections on Industry Definition and Activities, Industry Risk Score and Risk Rating Analysis. The Industry Definition and Activities section provides a detailed definition of the activities carried out by operators in this industry as defined in NAICS. A list of the primary activities of the industry is also included. The Industry Risk Score section provides the Overall Industry Risk Score as well as the Risk Scores for each of the three types of risk covered that combine to form the Overall Industry Risk Score. These three types of risk are Structural Risk, Growth Risk and External Sensitivity Risk. The Risk Rating Analysis section discusses the underlying factors contributing to the Overall Industry Risk Score.

Structural Risk

The Structural Risk chapter looks at risk arising from within the industry itself and provides a detailed discussion of the industry’s level of exposure to seven key indicators. These key indicators are Barriers to Entry, Competition, Industry Exports, Industry Imports, Level of Assistance, Life Cycle Stage and Volatility of Industry. The Overall Structural Risk Score is a weighted aggregation of these seven key indicators. Each of the key indicators is discussed in detail in this section.

Growth Risk

The Growth Risk chapter looks at risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry. The Overall Growth Risk Score is determined by amalgamating the scores for Recent Industry Growth and Forecast Industry Growth. Detailed analysis is provided discussing the reasons for the growth scores of both.

Sensitivity Risk

The Sensitivity Risk chapter looks at risks arising from forces (sensitivities) external to the industry. The Overall External Sensitivity Risk Score is determined by identifying the most significant (up to 6) external factors and weighting them to represent how significant each sensitivity is to the performance of the industry. Examples of External Sensitivities are Exchange Rates, Interest Rates, Commodity Prices and Government Regulations. There is also a detailed analysis of the affect each of the sensitivities has on the industry, including charts and data tables where appropriate.

Cardboard Box & Container Manufacturing in the US - Industry Risk Rating Report

They could be anything from rocket ships to castles.

In their back garden in Aylesbury, Less Stocker and his wife Sue run a wildlife hospital where, day and night, pathetic furry and feathered bundles arrive in cardboard boxes. These pages tell the tales of the rescue of wildlife ranging from badges, foxes and deer, hedgehogs, toads and mink to bats and grebes. Accounts of human heartlessness and dramatic rescue dashes are related by the author who has a dream to build Europe's first wildlife teaching hospital. The author has also written "The Complete Hedgehog".

Packing and moving companies have many Moving supplies combinations these days, calculated to meet the packing requirements of a bedroom or an office. A combination may be, say, 6 large moving boxes and 6 small boxes, with all the remaining assorted material that goes to form a moving kit, or it may be a combination of 5 large and 6 medium size boxes. The user can, however, request for a change in the number and size of the boxes for any unit.

The popularity of cardboard moving boxes will never wane. Plastic, with all its user-friendliness, can never take the place of a cardboard box in a Moving supplies kit.
