Global Kraft Paper Market Dynamics:


Surging Demand from the Packaging Industry:


Kraft paper pertains to the class of papers that are produced by the sulphate or semi-chemical processes that maintain the fibrous content of the pulping process. The strength and durability of kraft paper is notable making it an ideal packaging material for not only small but also large industrial boxes. The ever rising need for goods driven by the expansion of e-commerce and fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) is directly translating into a higher demand for kraft paper. It is further fueled by growing demand for sustainable packaging as it can be used as an environmentally friendly substitute for traditional plastic and is further increasing the popularity of kraft paper.


Growing Focus on Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Packaging:


With the growing concern regarding the environment and stringent laws for controlling plastic waste, the use of kraft paper as an environmentally friendly substitute for such goods is highly in demand. As consumers and businesses become more and more eco friendly there is a growing tendency and shift towards adopting recyclable, biodegradable or even compostable packaging materials. This shift towards green packaging is highly beneficial for companies wishing to reduce their carbon footprint and answer the demand for sustainable packaging solutions. With its economical pricing, easily renewable materials and high strength, kraft paper acts as a perfect candidate in serving these goals.


Versatility and Expanding Applications Beyond Packaging:


The versatility of kraft paper is now expanding to new markets while stationery, gift wrapping, and arts and crafts have already adopted its use. This shift of focusing on aesthetics along with the protective layering used in industrial applications like interleaving papers is driving demand for specialized kraft paper. The resilient and tear resistant kraft paper is attractive for more than just the packaging industry. This evolution in the manufacturing of kraft paper packaging is helping to drive sustained demand and diversification in the global market.
