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 backed by the demand for paper-based packaging is expected to drive the paper chemical market.
By type, pulp chemicals is expected to be the largest segment of the paper chemicals market during the forecast period.
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. The capacity expansions by pulp producers in South America and APAC is expected to drive the demand for pulp chemicals.
By form, specialty chemicals is expected to be the largest segment of the paper chemicals market during the forecast period.
The growth of the segment is mainly driven by the increasing demand for specialty paper in the packaging industry for packaging of food beverage products. The increased customer demand for durability and aesthetics of paper products has impelled paper producers to develop specialty paper. This, in turn, is expected to drive the specialty chemicals segment.
The growing awareness about sustainable packaging has fueled the demand for paper-based packaging. This is expected to drive the demand for paper chemicals during the forecast period.
