Paper Chemicals Market by Form (Specialty Chemicals, Commodity Chemicals) Type (Pulp Chemicals, Process Chemicals, Functional Chemicals), and Region (Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, Rest of World)

The paper chemicals market is projected to register a CAGR of 2.0% between 2018 and 2023.

The paper chemicals market is estimated to be USD 36.4 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 40.2 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 2.0% between 2018 and 2023. The growth in the production of packaging paper is expected to drive the demand for packaging paper. The growing penetration of paper-based packaging in the food & beverage industry is another factor likely to drive the demand for paper chemicals during the forecast period. However, the declined production of white paper due to digitization is a major factor restraining the market.

Specialty chemicals - the fastest-growing segment of the paper chemicals market, by form

The specialty chemicals segment of the paper chemicals market, by form, is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growing consumer need for durability and aesthetics of paper is expected to create a demand for specialty chemicals during the forecast period. The increasing consumer awareness about sustainable packaging solution is expected to generate a demand for paper-based packaging, especially in the food and beverages packaging. This, in turn, is likely to drive the specialty chemicals segment.

Pulp chemicals - the largest segment of the paper chemicals market, by type

Pulp chemicals is projected to be the largest segment of the paper chemicals market. The growth of the segment is mainly attributed to the demand for bleaching chemicals such as chlorine oxide, hydrogen peroxide, sodium bisulfite, and sodium chlorate. Oxygen and ozone are now being used as bleaching agents, which is expected to drive the segment during the forecast period.

APAC - to be the largest paper chemicals market

The APAC paper chemicals market is projected to register the highest CAGR between 2018 and 2023. The growth of the paper chemicals market in the region is mainly attributed to the shift of pulp and paper production facilities in the region from North America and Europe. Moreover, the presence of key manufacturers of paper chemicals is expected to fuel the APAC paper chemicals market during the forecast period. China, India, and Japan are the leading pulp and paper producers in the region. Capacity expansions by pulp and paper producers in India and Southeast Asia are further expected to create a demand for paper chemicals in the region.
