Global Pulp and Paper Market Outlook
The global pulp and paper market size reached approximately USD 362.03 billion in 2023. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% in the forecast period of 2024-2032, reaching a value of around USD 482.27 billion by 2032.
Key Trends in the Market
Pulp is a fibrous material derived from wood fibres, which is primarily used to make paper and its related products. The paper production process involves the treatment of raw material and its conversion into pulp, followed by a series of chemical and mechanical processes that lead to paper formation.
- The growing usage of alternative fibres from fast-growing crops such as bamboo and hemp, agricultural residues, and grasses contribute to the pulp and paper market growth. These fibres offer a more eco-friendly solution compared to the traditional wood fibres that can take years to grow, leaving a much larger environmental impact.
- The shift in consumer preference from virgin fibre paper to recycled paper is another crucial trend aiding the market expansion. Recycled papers are more affordable, conserve natural resources, and reduce overall landfill waste.
- Increased integration of advanced technologies such as IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) and data analytics into the paper production process for tracking raw materials and machinery conditions, real-time monitoring of the process, and detecting potential equipment failure, is also expected to support the pulp and paper market demand.
- Growing acquisition and merger activities between market players to deliver reliable technologies for the pulp and paper sector are also anticipated to fuel market growth in the coming years. For example, in December 2023, Valmet, a technological supplier for the paper and pulp sector, announced the acquisition of Demuth, a Brazilian wood-handling company, to strengthen its product portfolio in South America.
Pulp and Paper Market Segmentation
Based on raw materials, the market is divided into wood based, agro based, and recycled fibre based. On the basis of the manufacturing process, the market is bifurcated into pulping process and bleaching process.
