The Global Machine Glazed Kraft Paper Market is Expected to reach USD 19 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030.

The Machine Glazed Kraft Paper Market has grown because of its high strength and ideal combination of gloss and smoothness. In addition, the growing variety of applications from numerous end-use sectors, including healthcare, food and beverage, automotive, textile, and personal care, as well as increased desires for superior printing quality and sustainable packaging is also contributing to the market expansion.

Market Overview

Machine-glazed paper is uncoated and properly finished, with a somewhat rough surface and an especially glossy appearance on one side. The excellent strength and glossiness of Kraft papers along with their smoothness make them a perfect raw material for a wide range of technical packaging, laminating, and coating applications. Globally, the increased need for eco-friendly packaging has fueled the high demand for machine-glazed kraft papers, and the plastic ban has proven to be a crucial driver in the boosted market growth of kraft paper, which fuels the considerable expansion in the paper packaging market. Manufacturers are now using paper as an alternative to plastics in the interest of sustainable packaging. This is best illustrated by East Asia and Europe, where the use of plastics has been outlawed. Although it is not the only one, e-commerce is one of the key factors influencing the rising demand for kraft paper. The need for the paper will increase in nations like India and China across all industries, including food and beverage, education, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), and healthcare. Kraft pulp derived from commercial wood waste can be used to make machine-glazed kraft paper. Recycling industrial waste wood to create paper pulp is becoming more and more popular worldwide, and it also helps the paper sector thrive over the long run. The forecast period will likely see slower expansion for the machine-glazed paper market due to high recycling costs and shifting raw material prices. Due to the spread of COVID-19, the machine-glazed paper market is currently experiencing one of its roughest periods in history. The lack of shipping containers is also expected to impede the market growth.
