Converting Paper Is Repositioning the Paper Industry as “Fiber Industry”

The consumption of converting paper for tasks apart from writing and printing is increasing across the globe. For example, sanitary and packaging markets are becoming the emerging end users for the converting paper market. The adoption of converting paper for industrial packaging is increasing owing to low cost and sustainability as compared to plastic, metal, and glass. The use of converting paper material for manufacturing of intermediate bulk containers, liners, sacks, and absorbents has considerably increased in the past few years owing to the high-quality products offered by packaging leaders such as Sealed Air, Mondi, DS Smith, and others.

Penetration of E-Commerce in the retail market is growing at a substantial rate. With this growth, the demand for efficient packaging solutions is also increasing. Packaging is one of the key factors influencing consumer preference. Companies want to stay a step ahead of their competitors to ensure maximum market share, which is why, they are willing to invest in superior packaging solutions.
