Packaging is a relevant aspect for products catering to a specific and/or wide range of markets. The packaging of a product is no longer associated with just protecting the product from an exterior negative condition that could cause loss or damage. Over the last two decades, packaging has evolved significantly with almost all brands tending to utilize packaging as an aggressive marketing tool to convey their message to customers. Considering the relevant characteristic features of packaging, the need for sacks that can cater to the requisite purposes becomes essential. One such relevant market for sacks used in packaging is the Global Industrial Sacks Market.

Specialty pulp and paper chemicals are the raw materials used in the manufacturing of specialty paper. Specialty paper chemicals reduce the consumption of water and energy required in production by reducing paper weight and improving the optical and functional properties of the paper. The report provides an in-depth analysis of the current market trends, drivers, restraints and opportunities of the global market. Five types of specialty pulp and paper chemicals are studied in this report which includes bleaching & RCF chemicals, process chemicals, functional chemicals, coating chemicals, and Pigments & Fillers. The report does not cover the basic chemicals used in the production of paper. It includes revenue generated from sales of specialty pulp and paper chemicals across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Pulp is primarily used for the production of paper. The demand for pulp is closely linked to the global industrial production and GDP growth of countries. Post the global economic recession of 2008 that resulted in a drop in industrial production, the consumption of paper declined, thereby leading to a decline in the demand for pulp. However, the global pulp market has been posting steady growth since 2012, with recovery in demand from markets such as Europe, which was affected by the recession of 2009 and the following Euro debt crisis.

The specialty paper segment is a niche section in the global paper market. Specialty paper is used to produce tailored and high-value solutions for writing, printing, packaging, and labeling applications. Specialty pulp and paper chemicals are used in the pulp and paper industry to manufacture specialty paper. Aluminum sulfate, chlorine dioxide, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and KemBorino are some of the specialty chemicals. Specialty paper chemicals reduce the consumption of energy and water and raw materials by reducing paper weight without hampering the functional and optical properties of the paper. Furthermore, these chemicals will increase the recycling rate of wastepaper.

Paper cups are usually coated with PE, which provides stability and heat resistance. However, these PE-coated paper cups are hard to recycle and do not decompose easily, which results in large amounts of paper cups piling up in landfills.

Corrugated boxes are used for packaging consumer and industrial goods. These boxes are not only used as shipping containers but are also used as retail-ready packaging boxes by retailers. 

Tissue paper is a lightweight paper, which has become an essential commodity of daily life. The tissue paper industry is broadly classified into two categories: at home, which is also known as consumer tissue; and away from home (AfH). The at home segment comprises of tissues that are used for domestic purposes, whereas the away from home segment comprises of tissues that are used for commercial and industrial purposes, such as hotels, restaurants, hospitals, and institutions. The away from home segment includes paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, facial tissue, dispensers, and tissue products that are used in working environments. The increase in demand for tissue paper and the increase in awareness of washroom hygiene will increase the demand for paper towel dispensers globally.

This report covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global specialty paper market for the period 2017-2021. The report has taken into consideration the volume of specialty paper produced by the vendors for application in various sectors.In addition, the report discusses the major drivers that influence the growth of the global specialty paper market. It also outlines the challenges faced by vendors and the market at large, as well as the key emerging trends.

Filtration papers are used in laboratories, F&B, and other industries to enhance the quality of substances by removing particles. The global filtration paper market is posed to grow at a CAGR of 4.16% during 2016-2021. The market is expected to mature because of the growing laboratory and F&B segments, investments in R&D, and rising demand for fast food worldwide. In 2016, APAC accounted for the maximum market share owing to its large population and growing end-user sectors. However, ROW is expected to witness the fastest growth due to rapid economic development. The growth of the oil and gas industry will also help in increasing the demand for filtration papers. However, if the paper is not spread properly, air bubbles might form and hamper the filtration process. The improper placement of the filtration paper thus remains one of the primary factors hindering market growth.
