Executive Summary

Coated paper refers to a type of paper that undergoes a process of adding a layer of gloss, semi-gloss, or matte finish to enhance its surface properties. This involves applying agents, including chemical additives like resins and dispersants, to the paper surface, resulting in improved attributes such as brightness, smoothness, and other printing properties. The coating process involves adding an extra layer to the paper, reducing its porosity.

The main types of coated paper include coated fine, standard coated fine, and coated groundwood. Coated fine paper is utilized for writing, packaging, and printing, especially in offset printing. It consists of a fibrous layer with at least one coating. The coating materials employed include kaolin clay, precipitated calcium carbonate, and ground calcium carbonate, offering finishes such as matte, gloss, and semi-gloss. Coated paper finds applications in various industries, including printing, packaging, and labeling.

This coated paper market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The coated paper market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $42.45 billion in 2023 to $44.54 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the expansion of the printing industry, increased demand for packaging solutions, consumer preferences for high-quality materials, the need for effective advertising and marketing materials, as well as growing environmental concerns and regulatory requirements.

The coated paper market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $54.04 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing demand for sustainability and eco-friendly solutions, a rise in the publishing sector, consumer preferences for aesthetic materials, the need for brand differentiation and effective marketing strategies, as well as global expansion and overall industrial growth. Major trends in the forecast period include a continued demand for high-quality printing, emphasis on biodegradability and recyclability, focus on food safety, a premium approach to branding, and a growing interest in customization and personalization.

The proliferation of e-commerce platforms is anticipated to be a significant driver for the coated paper market in the future. E-commerce platforms, which facilitate online buying and selling of products and services, have witnessed a surge in popularity. The widespread use of smartphones, coupled with easy and cost-effective access to technology, has contributed to the growth of online retail sales. This surge in e-commerce activities has, in turn, fueled the demand for coated paper in product packaging. Coated papers, featuring a laminated composite material with a plastic layer or treatment on the surface, play a crucial role in reducing the risk of damage to goods during transit. As of August 2022, retail e-commerce sales in the United States for the second quarter of 2022 reached $257.3 billion, reflecting a 2.7% increase from the first quarter of the same year, as reported by the US Census Bureau-Department of Commerce.

The escalating demand within the printing industry is poised to be a driving force behind the growth of the coated paper market. Encompassing various businesses and activities related to the reproduction of text and images on diverse substrates, including paper, cardboard, and fabric, the printing industry relies significantly on coated paper. Coated paper provides several advantages in the printing sector, including high print quality, sharp image detail, prevention of ink absorption, and increased versatility and durability. In 2021, the estimated worth of US printing operations was $77.7 billion, according to data from Toner Buzz, a US-based online provider of printing products.

A noteworthy trend in the coated paper market is the emphasis on innovative and environmentally friendly packaging solutions. Major companies in the coated paper sector are actively developing 100% plastic-free, biodegradable barrier-coated paperboard to meet consumer preferences and reinforce their market positions. West Coast Paper Mills Limited, an India-based company, launched a plastic-free, biodegradable barrier-coated paperboard in March 2021. This product is devoid of traditional plastics, odorless, repulpable, and suitable for various applications, including food containers and packaging materials. The emphasis on environmentally sustainable packaging aligns with the growing consumer demand for eco-friendly alternatives. Patels Polypack, for instance, offers 100% biodegradable and compostable paperboard and paper coated with biodegradable polymers, serving as an eco-friendly substitute for traditional plastics.

Major players in the coated paper market are strategically focusing on innovative technologies, specifically sustainable coated paper technology, to bolster their revenues. Sustainable coated paper technology involves the utilization of eco-friendly and bio-renewable materials to coat paper, enhancing its performance while upholding environmental sustainability. As an example, in May 2021, Dunn Paper Company, a US-based firm specializing in specialty papers manufacturing, introduced BiOrigin. This product leverages barrier and containment technology within a fluorocarbon-free platform, eliminating styrene and chromium. BiOrigin employs bio-based coatings to meet certification standards for renewability, recyclability, and compostability. It stands out as a specialty paper that is both bio-based and PFAS-free, offering an environmentally friendly and safer packaging alternative with enhanced functionality.

In a significant move, BillerudKorsnas, a Sweden-based pulp and paper manufacturer, executed the acquisition of Verso for $825 million in April 2022. This strategic acquisition aligns with BillerudKorsnas' overarching goal of driving profitable and sustainable growth, particularly aiming to accelerate its expansion in North America. Verso Corporation, the acquired entity, is a US-based producer known for coated papers, including coated groundwood, coated freesheet, and specialty products. This acquisition is anticipated to contribute to BillerudKorsnas' growth strategy and strengthen its position in the market.
