Market Dynamics
High demand for glossy finish packaging to boost the metallized paper market growth
Consumers are more inclined to package product items with a good appearance with all the details in their labelling while purchasing products. Metallized paper is used for packaging products such as chocolate, gum, candy, liquor and others to attract consumers.
As per the industrial analysis, Sales of chocolate continue to remain uniform in European nations, especially in European countries like Germany, France and the United Kingdom, but chocolate's demand grew in India and Poland by 13% and 2%.
Moreover, according to International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the chocolate industry had a retail market value of USD 106.19 billion in 2017 and is expected to grow to USD 189.89 billion by 2026. This is indicative of the high demand for metallized glossy paper for the packaging of chocolate. Henceforth, the growing demand for glossy labelling in packaged products is likely to push the metallized paper market's growth in several world regions.
Minimalizing the environmental impression of the packaging
The immense demand for packaged goods, especially from the food & beverage sector and the increase in environmental concern towards plastics, has led the packaging industry to shift towards a better alternative that has less impact on the environment. Labelling and packaging done by the metallized papers on products help the material decompose in a minimum time frame without emissions of hazardous gases in the environment.
This will ultimately balance the deteriorating climatic conditions across the globe and subsequently boost the metallized paper market's growth.
However, issues in recyclability of metallized paper to raise pollution concerns
Metalized paper consists of amalgamating aluminium and many other elements such as plastic coating, lacquer, and varnish. Metallized paper cannot be recycled in the conventional paper recycling method because of its compound structure. There is no current process to recycle metalized paper. In the past year, it was treated as waste. The market needs a solution to recycle the metalized paper for it to be reused in the future.
Market Segment Analysis

The packaging is anticipated to dominate the segment due to increased urbanization and consumer goods
Metallized papers are used for a wide range of packaging and label applications and have been developed to offer several specific technical characteristics. Metallized papers offer beautiful finishes that maximize the shelf appeal of products. Several companies are into recyclable metallized paper. For instance, Packle's metallized papers are recyclable and sustainable and are used for gift wrap, direct mail envelopes and graphic papers. The products are also used as top sheets for litho-lamination solutions, including board games, electronic goods and household appliance packaging.
According to research by Smithers, the global packaging market has increased by 6.8% from 2013 to 2018 and is expected to expand by almost 3% per annum, reaching over $ 1.2 trillion between 2018 and 2028 further. Most of this growth is anticipated to come from less developed markets, as more consumers move to urban locations and subsequently adopt westernized lifestyles. This has boosted a demand for packaged goods, which worldwide has been accelerated by the e-commerce industry.
Moreover, General expansion in the global economy is expected to continue over the next decade, boosted by growth in emerging consumer markets. The global population will expand, and especially in key emerging markets, like China and India, the rate of urbanization will continue to grow. This translates into increasing consumer incomes for spending on consumer goods and exposure to modern retail channels, and the aspiration among a strengthening middle class to engage with global brands and shopping habits. Henceforth, a potential expansion in the packaging industry is expected to drive the market of metallized paper over the forecast period.
Market Geographical Share
