Furthermore, several benefits associated with stone paper are anticipated to propel the global stone paper market in the near future.

Stone Paper Market: Dynamics

The increase in population across the globe has boosted the demand for raw materials such as minerals, fossil fuels, biomass, and natural or synthetic materials. This has adversely affected the environment, primarily biodiversity. Additionally, changes in Earth’s climatic condition has led to an increase in emission levels of carbon dioxide across the globe. Many countries have banned the use of plastic bags, single-use boxes, and dishes. The European Union aims to build a society wherein single-use plastic packages are not used by 2030. It also focuses on reusing as well as recycling all plastic packaging. This has compelled producers operating in the packaging industry to seek biodegradable materials and plastic alternatives.

The rise in consumer awareness about sustainable packaging has boosted the consumption of ecofriendly products and packaging materials. For instance, Etiket Schiller GmbH, a Germany-based label maker, has created a stone-based label for cosmetic brands. Furthermore, increase in pressure from governments and growth in consumer awareness about ecofriendly products in Europe have resulted in replacement of single-use plastic-based products with paper-based substitutes.

Stone paper is waterproof, tear resistant, and environment-friendly. Its high durability is one of the qualities that makes stone paper useful in packaging applications. In comparison to traditional pulp paper, stone paper has the characteristics of paper and plastic. Hence, it is considered safe, green, non-toxic, and tear-proof alternative to its substitutes. Products packaged with stone paper remain durable under low temperatures. These are likely to drive the demand for stone paper across the globe in the near future.

Stone Paper Market: Prominent Regions

The stone paper market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand significantly during the forecast period, owing to the presence of major manufacturing firms in the region.
