Global Paper Towel Market Outlook

The global paper towel market size was approximately USD 14.2 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a value of USD 22.4 billion by 2032.

 

Key Trends in the Market

A paper towel is a sheet of thick, soft paper that can absorb liquid. It is made from woven fibres that have been creped and embossed for durability and absorbency. Paper towels are typically used as napkins for meals, to clean up spills, or to dry surfaces. They can rapidly and effectively absorb liquids and effectively remove dust and dirt.

  • The paper towel market growth is being fuelled by growing hygiene and sanitation concerns. Paper towels are better than hand towels and sponges and are known to minimise germ growth and limit the spread of germs efficiently.

Research activities have demonstrated the efficacy of paper towels in ensuring optimal hand hygiene as compared to jet air dryers, which makes them a suitable option for commercial uses such as cafes, restaurants, and offices.

  • The growing demand for convenience food and the expansion of small food trucks in several locations expand the demand for paper towels as they do not require maintenance and can be easily disposed.
  • The rising focus towards sustainability is one of the key paper towel market trends. Key players are increasingly attempting to reduce waste and deforestation associated with single-use power towels by developing their eco-friendly and reusable counterparts using materials like bamboo and cotton. Moreover, leading companies are utilising recovered paper and recycled materials to manufacture paper towels and enhance their sustainability profiles.
  • The development of paper towels with flexible strength, superior structure, and optimised fluid efficiencies to support customers in efficiently tackling cleaning tasks is anticipated to aid the market demand in the forecast period.
