The paper and pulp industry is both contracting and expanding amid new trends. The global market was valued at USD 351 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 372 billion by 2029. Whereas demand for paper-based information carriers is in sharp decline due to a continuing move toward digital technologies, many sectors still rely heavily on paper and pulp.

Biggest trends in the paper and pulp industry:

• Rapid penetration of online retail is fuelling increased demand for paper packaging across diverse markets.
• The global economic shift toward eco-friendliness is eliciting a shift from plastics to biodegradable solutions in many sectors.
• Novel raw materials such as bamboo, rice husk, hemp, and wheat straw are increasingly competing with wood-fibre in paper and pulp production.
• The hygiene & personal care products market is eliciting a renewed demand for paper-based products in the aftermath of the pandemic.
