By grade, the unbleached kraft segment is projected to register the fastest growth during the forecast period

The unbleached kraft segment is projected to register the fastest growth in the kraft paper market during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to its high strength, durability, and sustainability. The low level of chemical processing and the preservation of its natural brown appearance make unbleached kraft both more sustainable and economically viable compared to bleached kraft products. It has many applications, including industrial bags, grocery bags, and protective wrappings, making it highly useful in the construction, food, and retail industries.

By packaging form, the grocery bags segment accounted for the second-largest market share in 2024

In 2024, the grocery bags segment accounted for the second-largest share of the kraft paper market. This is driven by increasing policies against plastic bags and growing consumer preference for biodegradable options. Kraft paper grocery bags are not only biodegradable but also durable, making them a sustainable choice for both retailers and consumers. The rising competition from supermarkets, hypermarkets, and convenience stores, along with greater awareness of plastic waste reduction programs, has further amplified the demand for kraft paper grocery bags.

By end-use industry, the building & construction segment accounted for the third-largest market share in 2024

In 2024, the building and construction segment accounted for the third-largest share of the kraft paper market. This was due to the extensive use of kraft paper in packaging heavy-duty materials, such as cement, adhesives, and chemicals, as well as in wrapping and sacks.
