Which Growth Factors Are Influencing Food Contact Papers Market Expansion?
The food contact papers market is anticipated to grow due to the mounting consumer demand for sweets and chocolates. These treats, made from roasted and ground cocoa beans mixed with sugar powder and fat, often rely on food contact papers for their initial packaging. The paper serves as a protective barrier between the food and its surroundings, helping avoid contamination and maintain freshness. A report from the National Confectioners Association, a US-based trade organization, revealed in March 2022 that US chocolate and sweets sales climbed by 11% from 2020 to 2021. Moreover, retail sales of confectionaries amounted to $36.9 billion in 2021, with a forecast of hitting $44.9 billion by 2026. This growth in demand for sweets and chocolates is fueling the expansion of the food contact papers market. The surge in demand for convenience foods, or industrially processed food items that require no additional preparation, is also projected to stimulate the food contact paper market in the forthcoming years. These papers are designed for direct food contact and are commonly used in packing and wrapping ready-to-eat food items. For example, data from the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS), a trade association in the US, showed in April 2024 that total industry foodservice sales comprised 26.9% of in-store sales in 2023, a rise from 25.6% in 2022. With prepared food sales growing 12.2% per store per month, the sector became the top in-store category. This increased demand for convenience foods is hence driving the expansion of the food contact paper market.

What Are the Latest Developing Trends in the Food Contact Papers Market?
In an attempt to create sustainable and eco-friendly packaging solutions, businesses active in the food contact papers market are introducing innovative items like kerbside recyclable paper wraps. This type of wrapping paper, often made from 100% recycled newsprint, is specifically designed for recycling. For example, in March 2022, Germany's packaging services and products firm, Wipak Walothen Gmbh, unveiled a kerbside recyclable paper wrap for butter, made from FSC-certified, renewable paper. Reportedly, this wrapper provides a 68% reduction in carbon footprint compared to standard industry wraps made from materials like aluminum, low-density polyethylene, or paper lamination. It can be entirely recycled within the curbside paper and cardboard waste stream after cleaning. The company's involvement in the circular economy and provision of a broad selection of customizable paper composite options is a testament to its commitment to sustainability and customer satisfaction.
