Flexible Packaging Paper Market: By Paper Type, By Product, By End User, and Geography

Flexible Packaging Paper Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Paper Type (Kraft Paper, Parchment Paper, Greaseproof Paper, Sulfite Paper and Glassine Paper), By Product (Bags & Sacks, Pouches, Envelopes, Wraps and Sachets), By End User (Food, Pharmaceuticals, Consumer Goods, Agriculture, Personalcare & Cosmetics and Others), and Region

Flexible Packaging Paper Market is anticipated to be valued at US$ 25.1 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow at a significant CAGR of 2.1% from 2024-2030. Increasing demand for convenient and sustainable packaging solutions from the food packaging industry drives the market. Flexible packaging paper is becoming more common in food and beverage goods like cereals and frozen meals. In recent years, demand for flexible packaging paper for food packaging has been fuelled by increased demand for smaller pack sizes combined with a preference for convenience. The consumer demand for more natural and sustainable food has triggered the need for sustainable, flexible packaging paper. As such, flexible packaging paper is acquiring prominence in food packaging and tea bag overpacks.

Flexible Packaging Paper Market

Thus, the increase in applicability of the novel paper is boosting the market growth. It's also utilised in sterile health and beauty goods, which makes sense given that the market for food and personal care and cosmetics is expected to rise at an exponential rate. Hence, manufacturers are developing 'essential' packaging manufacturing that helps keep products fresh and sterile for the convenience of consumers. Flexible packaging, the most recent evolution in the packaging industry, has acquired global popularity for several advantages over rigid plastic packaging solutions, including cost-effectiveness, functional convenience in handling, and trademark protection. The Kraft paper segment holds a significant share of the flexible packaging paper market because kraft papers are the most widely utilized paper type. They may be employed in various end-use industry applications and are very inexpensive.
