The pulp and paper industry is one of the largest industries in the world. As per forecasts, it is expected to remain stable, with profits to expand throughout 2019. The world production of paper and paperboard is forecasted to reach 490 million tons by 2020. Cardboard and packaging paper products will have continued global demand.
The packaging market is growing all over the world, along with tissue papers, and pulp for hygiene products. Currently, the demand for packaging products is increasing. As more people around the globe turn to online shopping or eCommerce, the demand for cardboard and other packing materials continues to grow. Other factors driving the success of the pulp and paper industry are the demand for hygiene products like paper towels, toilet paper and disposable makeup wipes and increased economic participation of the global middle class.
Judging by the investments by paper manufacturers in modernization and expansion in the industry, India’s pulp and paper industry seem to be strong.
