Pulp and Paper Processing Chemicals Market

Growing Emphasis on Enhancing Properties of Writing and Specialty Papers

Improving productivity as well as surface and print quality are key concerns for paper & paperboard industries. There are number of solutions mineral formulations, which deliver properties such as gloss, opacity, printability, and brightness to papers.

Chemicals such as nano calcium carbonate and talcs make superior fillers and coating pigments for printing and writing papers, improving quality, and brightness. As coating agents, these help improve printability and deliver superior optical properties such as gloss and opacity.

In specialty papers such as labels and colored papers, minerals reduce dye demand and improve color intensity. Attributing to these factors, the global paper processing chemicals market is projected to grow at a significant pace.

Thriving Demand for Paperboard, Wrapping, and Packaging Paper

Although the digital revolution has significantly impacted the consumption of paper & paperboard, population growth and change in living standards have created new market opportunities through paper goods such as personal hygienic tissue papers and skid resistant paper packaging.

Unbleached pulp may be refined to cut fiber and roughen the surface of fibers. To enhance pulp surface, pulping chemicals act as ideal solutions for the paper industry. The pulping chemicals segment accounted for 32.8% share in the global paper processing chemicals market in 2018.

Increasing Preference for Biodegradable Chemicals

Various chemicals are widely utilized at the time of paper production. These paper processing chemicals are mostly fossil-oil based compounds. Thus, they create a negative impact on the environment. In the backdrop of rising environment concerns, paper mill manufactures are looking for biodegradable paper processing chemicals such as polymer-free coatings, and soy chemicals, which are compliant with various government legislatures.

This factor is anticipated to create huge demand for biocides and other paper processing chemicals.
