Market Size and Growth Drivers
The global paper products market is expected to reach $275.1 billion by 2025, up approximately 2.7% from $268 billion in 2023, with a compound annual growth rate of 0.3%. This modest growth is primarily driven by the following factors:
Packaging Paper Dominates the Market: Packaging paper accounts for 51.58% of the global paper products market. It is projected to grow at a CAGR of 0.6%, reaching $144.7 billion by 2025.
Surging Demand for Sustainability: The EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation mandates a 70% recycling rate for packaging materials by 2025, significantly boosting demand for recyclable paper. For example, 70% of premium tuna labels in Germany and France now use recyclable metallized paper.
E-commerce and Cold Chain Logistics: The global e-commerce packaging market is expected to reach $98.2 billion by 2025. Due to its lightweight and recyclable nature, paper has become the primary choice for packaging. Meanwhile, the cold chain packaging segment, driven by fresh e-commerce, is growing at an annual rate of 9%.
