Global Specialty Pulp and Paper Chemical Market Dynamics:

The specialty pulp & paper chemicals market is projected to exhibit steady growth as a result of rising global demand for tissues and packaging grades. Herein, the rapid growth of e-commerce is augmenting the consumption of packaging grades and packing materials. Moreover, increasing concern over food safety in the food and beverages sector has propelled the need for a high-quality food service board and a liquid packaging board. Demand for specialty papers and chemicals is expected to witness high growth because of the rising demand for sterilizing paper in medical applications. Sterile bags produced from these papers provide an optimal and clean surface for rotogravure and flexo printing.

Growing demand for one-sided specialty (coated) papers is likely to be the major driver for growth. One-sided specialty (coated) papers, manufactured from specialty chemicals such as functional and process chemicals, find a product in labeling, release liners, envelopes, laminating, gift wrapping, posters, and thermal transfers among several others. In terms of volume, the global market size for one-sided specialty (coated) papers was more than 4,000 kilotons in 2015 and is expected to cross 5,000 kilotons in the next three years. More than one-third of the global consumption of these specialty papers was for labels which are finding increasing usage in industries as well as stationery purposes.

These papers also have a huge demand for flexible packaging in the packaging industry. The use of these chemicals such as defoamers, retention aids, flocculant polymers, and others in cleaning wastewater before disposal and reducing the biological oxygen demand, by helping in the recycling of fibers coagulated in primary clarification stages, is also expected to promote its global use and enhance its market demand. Hence, the improved process efficiency due to its use is also expected to drive the global specialty pulp and paper chemicals market in the forecast timespan.

However, environmental impact due to paper and pulp industry owing to a large amount of water, chemical and energy used for the manufacturing process would act as a restraint in the global market. Production of greenhouse gases like methane from waste papers is a major concern for the EPA. FDA regulations about the usage of bisphenol A in the production of thermal papers due to its effect on the human endocrine system are also expected to hinder the market growth in the forecast period.
Global Specialty Pulp and Paper Chemical Market Regional Insights:

The market in Asia-Pacific was the largest in 2019 due to the flourishing packaging industry and the presence of a large number of end-use industries in developing nations such as India and China.
