What Are the Drivers Transforming the Thermal Paper Market?
The surge in the thermal paper market is attributable to the increasing demand for sustainable labelling practices. There is a high demand for renewable direct thermal solutions, particularly in the e-commerce and logistics sectors. Anticipating an increase in demand for sustainable labelling standards, the industry is likely to shift towards employing more sustainable methods such as recycled direct thermal papers. For instance, in 2022, the FATitudes survey conducted by US food corporation Cargill Incorporated among 6,000 primary grocery shoppers in 11 countries revealed that more than half (55%) of global customers were more likely to purchase a packaged food product if it carried a sustainability label promise. The survey also found that 37% of the 550 American participants said that a sustainability claim would influence their purchasing decisions, reflecting a six-point increase since 2019. Hence, the thermal paper market's growth in the future is expected to be fueled by the increasing demand for sustainable labelling practices.

What Long-Term Trends Will Define the Future of the Thermal Paper Market?
The thermal paper market is currently seeing a growing trend of technological innovation. Companies within this sector are concentrating on producing technologically superior products to maintain their market relevance. In a key development, a Germany-based company known for developing and manufacturing cutting-edge industrial inks and varnishes, VFP Ink Technologies, unveiled a novel chemical-free thermal paper, 1470579 Blue Clean 70 g/m2, in August 2022. This product is suitable to be used as a food-contact adhesive material. The newly-developed material can be printed using standard direct thermal printers, and does not require a developer. It consists of a four-layer structure that includes a plain paper layer, a black pigment layer, an opaque function layer giving the paper its distinctive blue color, and a protection layer to prevent mechanical damage. The functioning of this solution is such that the opaque layer becomes transparent when subjected to heat, exposing the black layer beneath which, in turn, produces the resulting printed image.
