Increasing demand for specialty paper in packaging & labelling, and rapidly growing Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry are the factors driving the market growth. However, deforestation, harmful carbon emissions from paper manufacturing, and shortage of raw materials are inhibiting the market growth.

The availability of customizable specialty paper products with preferred properties is an added advantage driving the specialty paper market.

By product type, flexible packaging paper segment is expected to witness high compound annual growth rate during the forecast period, whereas the market for printing papers is deteriorating due to digitalization. Packaging & labeling segment dominated the global specialty paper market with major share and is expected to continue its dominance throughout the forecast period (to 2022).

Europe is anticipated to be the largest market for Specialty Paper, whereas Asia Pacific is projected to grow at a faster pace. The markets of China and India are projected to be lucrative due to increasing demand for speciality paper, urbanization and rising consumer awareness.
