Coated Paper Market Potential and Pitfalls

Coated paper is extensively used as it is resistant to wear, dirt, and tear. They are customized by adding textures depending upon the quality required by several end-user industries such as printing, packaging, and labeling. With the ban on plastics regarding packaging, there has been a shifting trend towards degradable and bio-based packaging which needs to be used for flexible packaging of food and beverages, medical products, industrial goods, and consumer goods. With the mounting popularity of home delivery systems and e-commerce, the market is estimated to flourish throughout the estimated period. Coated papers are highly adopted as they provide a variety of textures along with finishing qualities, thereby offering several packaging options. The mounting demand for flexible packaging in the food and beverages sector is further propelling the market growth to a great extent. Coated papers also offer high-quality pictures as compared to conventional papers. This is considered to boost its application in camera and imaging products sector.

In contrast, with the reduction in the supply of raw materials, the global coated market is adversely affected. There has been a decline in the plantation of pulp across the world which has led to the shutdown of pulp manufacturing companies. The high capital and resource requirement coupled with the strong workforce required for the production coated papers can be considered as top barriers to the growth of the market.
