The packaging and labeling and printing industries are the two major end-user industries of synthetic paper. The growth of these sectors is attributed to the rapid rate of urbanization in the developing countries and the rising affluence of the middle-class population. These reasons have led to a rise in the opportunities for consumerism, such as a high demand for lifestyle services and consumer goods. The biaxially-oriented polypropylene (BOPP) segment was the largest material segment for synthetic paper due to its unique properties, such as easy printability, superior strength, versatility, and cost effectiveness. The segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6% from 2015 to 2020.Labeling is the fastest growing application of the synthetic paper market. This fastpaced growth is attributed to the increased consumption of packaged foods and beverages, which is characterized by stringent labeling regulations.Asia-Pacific (APAC) was the largest synthetic paper market, and the growth can be attributed to the rise in demand from end-use industries including chemicals, cosmetics, and food and beverage. These industries have experienced an increase in consumption as a result of the increase in purchasing power and growth in disposable income of the working middle-class population.
