Kraft paper refers to a strong paperboard material that is composed of recycled materials or wood pulp produced in the kraft process. The pulp is bleached with chemicals to enhance the thickness, durability, and strength of the fibers while sustaining lightweight characteristics. Some common varieties of kraft paper include white, printed, colored, black, etc. They can be easily recycled, reused, and decomposed completely. As a result, kraft paper is widely utilized in numerous packaging applications, including envelopes, bags, sacks, composite cans, pouches, cartons, etc. 

India Kraft Paper Market Trends:

The growing usage of compostable and sustainable packaging materials owing to the increasing awareness regarding the detrimental impact of plastic and other non-biodegradable variants is primarily propelling the growth of the Indian kraft paper market. In addition to this, the elevating use of kraft paper in gift wrapping, events, weddings, etc., due to its colorful creativity, aesthetic appeal, and textured properties, is also fueling the market growth. Furthermore, the escalating demand for highly technical saturated kraft paper in the construction sector to meet unique needs related to countertop, partition, and flooring applications is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the expanding utilization of kraft paper in the e-commerce industry for packaging solutions on account of various associated benefits, such as folding resistance, toughness, and high-strength compression performance, is further augmenting the market growth. Moreover, the rising focus of the Indian government authorities on banning the use of plastics is also creating a positive outlook for the kraft paper market across the country. For instance, in June 2022, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), a federal agency under the Ministry of Environment, issued a list of steps to be taken to prohibit the use of specific single-use plastic products. Numerous other factors, such as the inflating popularity of kraft paper in the printing and publication sectors and the introduction of advanced packaging solutions, including stand-up pouches, zipper pouches, etc., are anticipated to stimulate the Indian kraft paper market over the forecasted period.
