What are the Key Dynamics to the Base Paper Market Share

The driving factor for the base paper market is the increasing demand for ecofriendly and recyclable packaging material. Owing to the hazardous impact of non-degradable plastic use, many countries are switching for sustainable packaging solution.

Base paper is chemical free paper which acts as a fueling factor for increasing the global sales of base paper across the world. It has zero effect on human health and the environment.

The growth of the base paper market is increasing exponentially because it can be used as décor paper. Depending on the requirement, the decor paper is used as overlay paper, barrier paper, print paper, absorbent kraft paper.

Also, the base paper market is growing on the backdrop of construction industries as the shuttering paper gives more wet resistance and good tensile strength.

In pharmaceutical industries, the base paper (also called medical paper or bactite paper) is used for packaging of medical or surgical disposables.

Since it gives maximum protection against bacterial growth, it is expected that the base paper market will increase with the expansion of pharmaceutical industries.

Lucrative opportunities are witnessed for laminating base paper across the world as it provides a high barrier to the product from moisture and air.
