Segments - Global Sack Kraft Paper Market By Pulp Sources (Pure, Recycled), Packaging Types (Valve Sacks, Open Mouth Sacks, Other Packaging Types), Grades (Standard, Semi-Extensible, Fully-Extensible), Products (Natural [Brown], Bleached [White]), End-Users (Cement & Building Materials, Chemicals, Agrochemicals, Animal Feed & Pet Food, Food & Beverage, Others), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2020 – 2027
The global sack kraft paper market size was valued at USD 32,602.79 Mn in 2019 and is anticipated to reach USD 41,756.6 Mn by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period 2020 – 2027. Sack kraft paper is manufactured by softwood obtained from trees such as pines, spruces and conifers. High stiffness and strength offered by softwood trees helps in production of porous, durable, extensible, and printable sack kraft paper.
They have high tensile energy absorption (TEA) and mechanical strength coupled with strength equal to plastic or synthetic materials. Developments for recycling sack kraft paper and research for other bio-degradable raw materials such as coconut jute is expected to fuel the market during the forecast period.
Key players in the market are engaged in increasing acquisitions of regional players to expand their sales portfolio across multiple countries in the world. Mergers and partnerships help companies boost production hubs and increase distribution outlets for other industries pertaining sack kraft paper.
Governments of various economies are encouraging the use of bio-degradable sources for storage and transportation of goods. Frozen and wet food articles are stored in laminated and three-ply sack kraft paper bags. Rising demand for packaging industrial materials such as gypsum and cement in environmental-friendly packages is driving the sack kraft paper market for packaging.
Sacks used for storage of building material such as cement provide weight lift of approximately 50kgs. Sack kraft papers are customized by printing the brand names or product details on the sacks and bags. Sack kraft paper sacks and bags are bio-degradable, hence they are replacing the use of plastic bags.
Non-compostable solid waste and land pollution caused by polyethene and plastic bags are encouraging the growth of sack kraft paper for packaging and carrying commodities. Dry elements such as cement, sugar, and wheat grains are easily filled and carried in sack kraft paper sacks and bags. Polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) coating is done in the inner surface of the bags for carrying wet or liquid material such as fruit juice.
Ongoing construction and rising contracts for designing buildings is fueling the adoption of sack kraft paper for packaging construction materials. The construction sector is expected to boost the adoption of sack kraft paper in packaging and palletizing raw materials, due to their wear and tear resistance properties. The food and beverage industry is considered to reflect a substantial share, owing to the use of natural (brown) sack kraft paper for packaging of food articles.
Softwood is a prime raw material required for manufacturing sack kraft paper. Governments of various economies passed an amendment to avoid cutting down forests, due to factors such as global warming. Softwood trees such as pines, douglas fir, and juniper have low density, making them easy to carve. Development of forests for production of raw material is considered to persist for several years to achieve an equilibrium. The shortage of raw material is projected to hinder the market growth.
The designing of aftermarket products from sack craft paper such as shipping sacks and shopping bags are creating opportunities for small scale industries. The players are introducing creative sack paper strings to be punched or glued in the open mouth bags making it easy to carry. Domestic players are focusing on innovative designs and prints over the sacks and bags to attract attention of packaging industries.
Moreover, Internet penetration is anticipated to propel the trend of sack kraft paper in several countries. The pandemic period is encouraging businesses to use internet platform. The website designs of manufacturers might display their processing unit and end-products, along with product specifications such as color, strength and lamination. Rise in use of internet is considered to bridge the gap between large scale and small-scale organizations.
