According to Stratistics MRC, the Paper Chemicals Market is accounted for $35.91 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach $53.37 billion by 2026 growing at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period. Factors such as constant increase in packaging paper production, the expansion of the e-commerce industry and rising demand for paper products, such as cups, wraps, & baggage, from the food industry and the use of paper in print media. Furthermore, the declining production of graphic paper due to digitization and strict regulations in using chemicals are some factors restricting market growth.

Paper chemicals are used for manufacturing paper and to modify the aesthetic properties of paper. They can be used to modify the paper in different ways, together with rising its strength and resistance to water. Paper chemicals are a combination of many chemicals like hypochlorite, alkyl ketene dimer, epichlorohydrin, styrene maleic anhydride, calcium carbonate, and polyacrylamide (PAM), etc.

Based on chemicals, specialty chemicals segment is likely to have considerable growth during the predicted period due to the increasing demand for specialty paper in the packaging industry like for packaging of food beverage products. The increased customer demand for toughness and aesthetics of paper products has encouraged paper producers to develop specialty paper. This, in turn, is expected to drive the specialty chemicals segment.

By Geography, Asia Pacific is anticipated to have steady growth in the market during the forecast period. The rise in the packaging industry in the region owing to the increasing per capita expenditure on food and beverages and increasing industrialization is likely to generate a demand for paper-based packaging in the region. This, in turn, is expected to drive the market in the region.
