Global sack and kraft paper market 2016–2021

23 January 2017

In a new report, Smithers Pira states that steady growth in consumer markets will buoy the sack and kraft paper industry to produce growth of around 3% per annum for 2016–2021. This will push global market value to $80 billion in 2021, up from $66 billion in 2016.
Expansion is being driven by numerous factors – like the demand for higher quality graphics, which is pressuring papermakers to develop innovative solutions to provide suitable and appropriate printing surfaces. This includes the evolution of digital printing technology for the sack and kraft segment which is creating opportunities for converters and challenges for papermakers (News Item Smithers Pira, 5 January 2017).
