A tissue paper converting machine is a vital piece of equipment that transforms large paper reels produced by a paper mill into smaller sheets and folded products suitable for use. This machine performs various operations to ensure the production of final paper goods with specific qualities and high quality.
The primary categories of systems found in tissue paper converting machines include toilet roll converting lines, kitchen rolls converting lines, folded tissue converting lines, paper napkin converting lines, and standalone machines. Toilet roll lines are dedicated manufacturing lines used for producing toilet paper rolls. The key components of these lines include unwinding units, embossers, laminators, calendars, rewinders, tail sealers, accumulators, and log saws, available in both fully automatic and semi-automatic configurations.

This tissue paper converting machine 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 tissue paper converting machine market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.65 billion in 2024 to $1.73 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing hygiene awareness, population growth and urbanization, economic development and disposable income, preference for convenient and sanitary products, sustainability and eco-friendly practices.
The tissue paper converting machine market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.18 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to evolving consumer lifestyles, innovation in tissue product design, global health concerns, market expansion in developing regions, regulatory emphasis on hygiene standards. Major trends in the forecast period include market demand for eco-friendly products, global expansion strategies, innovations in embossing and printing, integration of artificial intelligence (ai), focus on ergonomics and operator safety.
The tissue paper converting machine market is anticipated to experience growth in the foreseeable future, driven by the increasing demand for face tissues, toilet paper, and related products. Face tissues, utilized for handkerchiefs or facial wiping, and toilet paper, employed for personal hygiene after excretion, are produced in required sizes using tissue paper converting machines. These machines emboss, perforate, and cut larger paper rolls to create separate rolls of toilet tissue and face tissues. For instance, as reported by the International Trade Centre (ITC) in 2022, the global import value of toilet or facial tissue stock, towels, napkin stock, and similar paper products surged by 28%, escalating from $4.14 billion in 2021 to $5.33 billion in 2022. Additionally, the US witnessed a 14% rise in import units from 274,593 tons in 2021 to 321,820 tons in 2022. Consequently, the burgeoning demand for face tissues, toilet paper, and associated products fuels growth within the tissue paper converting machine market.
The tissue paper converting machine market is expected to witness an upsurge due to the growing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable products. Eco-friendly and sustainable products, designed to have minimal environmental impact across their life cycle, rely on raw materials sourced sustainably and have a capacity for recycling or environmentally friendly disposal. Tissue paper converting machines play a pivotal role in producing such eco-friendly products by optimizing the use of raw materials such as recycled paper or sustainably sourced pulp, minimizing waste during the conversion process. For instance, a survey conducted by IBM in February 2022, involving 16,000 global consumers, revealed that over half (51%) of respondents prioritize environmental sustainability more now than before the pandemic. Hence, the escalating demand for eco-friendly and sustainable products is a driving force propelling the expansion of the tissue paper converting machine market.
Leading companies in the Tissue Paper Converting Machine market are prioritizing the development of advanced technological solutions, such as structured tissue machines, to boost production efficiency, minimize waste, and enhance product quality. Structured Tissue Machines are specialized devices that create and manipulate complex biological tissues with defined architectures. They utilize techniques like 3D printing and tissue engineering to assemble cells and biomaterials into organized structures that replicate natural tissues. For instance, in July 2022, Toscotec, an Italy-based machinery company, introduced the INGENIA concept machine, designed to produce premium-quality structured tissue paper while reducing energy consumption by 35% compared to traditional through-air drying (TAD) methods. This machine achieves this efficiency by employing non-thermal dewatering techniques, which maintain high dryness levels without the need for hot air or steam, thereby enhancing tissue properties such as bulk, softness, and absorbency.
In March 2021, Sofidel Group, an Italy-based manufacturer of tissue paper products for hygiene and household use, acquired ST Paper, LLC, for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Sofidel's ST Paper tissue mill to expand its production capacity and strengthen its geographic footprint in the U.S. market. ST Paper, LLC is a U.S.-based company focused on the production of tissue paper products, including bath tissue, paper towels, and napkins.
