The report highlights key factors driving the market growth and prominent players along with their developments in the market.
Food contact papers are used as primary packaging materials for various food products, such as baked food, confectionery, meat, snacks, and grain mill products. The papers are sustainable alternatives to many other food packaging materials, such as plastic and glass. Growing initiatives by companies to reduce their carbon footprint are influencing the adoption of food contact paper across the world. The increase in demand for sustainable and eco-friendly food packaging has also increased the demand for food paper packaging.
The biodegradable and recyclable packaging has been an attractive alternative to single-use packaging options for both consumers and manufacturers. Food service packaging generates a significant amount of waste in landfills in the US. As per a report published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, food waste and packaging account for the majority of the landfilled materials in the US. Since paper packaging is biodegradable, it is preferred over recyclable packaging. The use of recycled food packaging increases the chances of contamination, thereby potentially affecting the environment and human health. Increasing initiatives by governments across the world on the use of single-use plastic bags are propelling the demand for packaging solutions, which are recyclable yet sustainable, leading to an increased demand for food contact papers.
Mondi; Westrock Company; Georgia-Pacific LLC; Twin River Paper Company; UPM; Ahlstrom-Munksjö; GM Packaging (UK) Ltd; Superiorpaper Pty Ltd. TopCare; and KRPA Holding CZ, a.s. are among the well-established players operating in the food contact paper market.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Food Contact Paper Market
Many industries, such as the chemicals & materials industry, faced unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the shortage of raw material and labor, shutdown of factories, and other operational difficulties under COVID-19 safety protocols, manufacturers of packaging products faced a contraction in sales during the initial months of the pandemic. Furthermore, the shift in the lifestyle of the consumers and their changing eating patterns have reduced the consumption of ready-to-use and outside food due to the virus spread, which has negatively affected the demand for food contact papers. However, as several countries are lifting the lockdown with proper precautionary measures, the demand for food contact papers is likely to back on track. As the lockdown was imposed in various countries, the e-commerce sector witnessed a significant demand for various products, such as packaged food and groceries including fresh vegetables and fruits, owing to the shutdown of offline stores, which fueled the utilization of food contact papers.
