Market Definition
Coated paper is a paper that has been coated with a polymer or a mixture of materials to impart specific qualities to the paper, such as weight, surface gloss, smoothness, or reduced ink absorbency. To coat paper for high-quality printing in the packaging industry and magazines, various materials such as kaolinite, calcium carbonate, bentonite, and talc can be used. Coated papers are those that have a glossy, semi-gloss, or matte finish. A coating agent is applied to the surface of coated paper to improve brightness, smoothness, or other printing properties. Rollers are used to polish the paper after it has been coated. It fills in the tiny pits and gaps between the fibers to create a smooth, flat surface.
North America Coated Paper Market Dynamics
Drivers
-
Rise in demand for high quality print images
Coated papers print sharp and brilliant images due to their high reflectivity. Additionally, they provide a superior printing surface to uncoated papers, which results in high-quality printing. Coated papers are resistant to dirt and moisture, and because they are non-absorbent, they use less ink to print. The coated paper is often coated with wax, clay, kaolin clay, latex, titanium oxide etc. which enables the paper to shine brighter and enhances the quality of pictures printed on it. Coated paper can be used in a variety of end-use applications like catalogues, newspaper inserts, converted paper products, security papers, magazines, and advertising materials because it typically has a gloss or matte finish. Because it produces sharp and intricate images, coated paper is frequently utilized for printing purposes.
Coated papers are typically heavier than uncoated papers, lending weight to a print job. Coated paper is more suitable for certain finishing techniques such as flood or spot varnish or other finish coatings because it is smoother and has better ink holdout (is less absorbent) than uncoated paper. Coating papers provides high quality prints to and are manufactured by various key players in the North America coated paper market.
Hence, the rising demand of high quality prints and images in various magazines, brochures, leaflets etc. is expected to drive the growth of North America coated paper market
-
Increase in demand of coated paper in food industry
Coated papers have multiple applications in different industries including food industry in which coated papers are widely used to wrap the food items globally. Food packaging is moving from plastic to more biodegradable, recyclable paper materials as North America demand for sustainable solutions rises. In order to enhance the quality, better performance and to replace the plastic fillings, the coated papers used need to be of high quality and non-reactive nature.
Waxed paper is suitable for food, primarily for wrapping fish, meat, and chocolate bars, due to its wet and grease resistance, making it especially suitable for direct contact with cheeses, butter, and wrapping chocolate bars and oily food. Because it is resistant to water, oils, and greases, waxed paper helps to preserve food. Resin coated papers are ideal for fresh foods, fatty foods, and wet foods, as well as food grade bags.
Packaging made of polyethylene paper is suitable for direct contact with food, provides freshness assurance, protection, and meets the highest food hygiene standards. Coated papers and burger interleaves are used to wrap counter foods such as meats, cheeses, and cooked foods in supermarkets, butcher shops, delicatessens, and delis. Polyethylene coated papers are used in butchers, delicatessens and supermarkets to wrap fresh food. In fact, high-density polyethylene film acts as a protective barrier against moisture, fat and smells.
Opportunities
-
Consumers' changing and improving lifestyles result in a significant demand for products with coated packaging
Consumers' lifestyles change and improve as their disposable income increases, as does their consumption of healthcare, food and beverage, and home care products, particularly in developing economies. In the years to come, this is anticipated to increase demand for coated paper.
Additionally, brand owners are becoming more and more interested in eco-friendly printing and packaging as a result of the government's regulations restricting single-use plastics. Because of this, manufacturers are moving toward more environmentally friendly printing and packaging techniques, which will help to create oppurtunities in the coated paper market.
Millennials prefer to purchase prepared foods due to their busy lifestyles and growing health consciousness, which is driving the demand for coated packaging materials due to the rising need for modified packaging. This further generates opportunities for market expansion
