Growing Use of Talc in Paper & Pulp Industry Boosts Middle East & Africa Talc Market

Talc is commonly used in the pulp & paper industry as a pitch control agent, coating pigment, and functional filler. It helps enhance the runnability of a paper machine. Talc is used to recycle paper and produce new paper, pulp, and cardboard. The properties of talc prevent pitch agglomeration within the production machine. Talc is used as a filler to give smoothness, porosity, and opacity to paper. Also, in paper production, talc use enhances the quality of finished products and reduces production costs. The demand for paper packaging is increasing in various sectors. Quick service restaurants (QSR) and fast-food restaurants are among the largest users of paper packaging products. The paper & pulp industry growth is driven by the increasing use of paper-based packaging due to the rising adoption of e-commerce platforms, especially in developing countries. Moreover, increasing environmental concerns such as global warming and biodegradability and health problems caused by plastic packaging are bolstering the growth of the paper & pulp industry in different regions. As a result, various paper and pulp manufacturers are investing in expanding their production capacities. The growing paper & pulp industry propels the demand for talc, which drives the talc market growth.
