The total world paper and board market growth has been slowing in recent years, and the main reason for this has been a large segment of the market, the graphic papers, which has declined now for years. Many graphic paper producers are struggling to find a profitable niche for their capacity.

This report studies in detail a growing segment in the packaging paper market, bag papers. The paper market for bags benefits from several global megatrends — and paper is replacing plastics in many end-uses.

The study examines global demand and regional demand and takes a look into what kinds of papers are currently being used for bags. We look at the key producers of paper for bags: current suppliers, new entrants and study the future possibilities for paper producers to utilize their assets to make paper for the bag markets.

Competitive landscape: Key paper producers by world region focus on Europe and North America.
