Research and Markets, Dublin, Ireland, this week announced the addition of the Top Five Global Paper and Packaging Companies: Performance, Strategies, and Competitive Analysis report to its offering. Fragmentation of the paper and packaging market, competitive landscape, and corporate and marketing strategies adopted by the paper and packaging companies are factors that have significantly influenced industry dynamics, the report notes. The market reached an estimated revenue of $363 billion in 2011, with 5.2% CAGR during 2007-2011. The industry is expected to reach $463.4 billion in 2017, growing at a 4.2% CAGR.

The competitive landscape of the paper and packaging market has fluctuated over the past five years and affected the top five companies, the report says. The paper and packaging industry is highly fragmented and includes segments such as paper, sanitary, and household, paperboard and packaging, and industrial applications. The Asia Pacific (APAC) region dominates the industry and represents 39% of the global market. A combination of factors such as demographics, economic conditions, and environmental regulations influences market dynamics significantly.

The author found that the market size or revenue, average operating profit, average net profit, and annual growth rate are some of the driving forces of these companies. Buyers' power, the degree of competition, threats from new entrants, and the prevalence of substitutes also affect this market. The top five companies of the global paper and packaging market that are profiled in the report are Kimberly-Clark Corp., International Paper Co., Svenska Cellulosa AB (SCA), Oji Paper Co., and Nippon Paper Group.
