Machine glazed papers are growing due to the rising demand for attractive packaging solutions to meet consumer demand.
The promotion of sustainable packaging is driving the expansion
Paper is now being used as a sustainable packaging alternative to traditional packaging methods by manufacturers. Paper packaging is used in food and beverage, medical and healthcare, textiles, automotive, cosmetics and personal care, building and construction, electrical and electronics and domestic industries.
Excellent properties and diversified application to increase demand
The product's excellent properties, such as its high strength and perfect balance of gloss and smoothness, are the primary growth drivers of the market. Also, the rising preferences for superior printing quality and sustainable packaging and an increasing number of applications from various industries such as healthcare, food and beverages, automotive, textile and personal care are expected to boost the market growth.
Increasing investment in biodegradable packaging and increasing the number of programs promoting sustainable packaging as a preferred choice for food wrapping and packaging are creating enormous prospects for the machine-glazed paper market throughout the forecast period.
High recycling prices and raw material price instability may hinder the growth.
High recycling and raw material price volatility are expected to hinder the expansion of the machine glazed paper market during the projection period. The increasing difficulty of removing the residue left behind will be the most significant impediment to the market's expansion.
While machine glazed papers have numerous environmental advantages over standard plastic, the manufacturing method of these papers is being scrutinized, particularly in goods such as disposable paper bags. Millions of trees are being cut down – deforestation – in return for developing paper bags for short-term use, putting a strain on existing resources.
