Summary

Machine Glazed Kraft paper is an uncoated paper with shiny appearance on one side and a rough surface on the other side. It combines high tensile strength properties of Kraft paper together with smoothness and shine for excellent printability. MG is an ideal base paper for a vast range of packaging solutions and is also safe for direct food contact. MG paper shows low grammage variation across the profile of the paper and hence exhibits very good machinability.

The machine glazed kraft paper is used in the manufacturing sector, for packaging of dry food such as flour, Sugar, cereals etc.

The global Machine Glazed Kraft Paper market is estimated to surpass US$ 12.09 Billion by the end of 2028 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period (2021 to 2028).

Drivers

Product packaging sector has evolved rapidly over the past decade. Now packaging isn’t just packaging; it’s an experience. From manufacturers to retailers, everyone is looking for a fresher, greener, and yet attractive packaging solutions for their products to meet consumers’ demands. One such solution is machine glazed kraft paper or MG paper. With high strength and a perfect balance of gloss and smoothness, machine glazed papers have become the new standard of packaging solution. Their superior printability is also adding to their demand, substantially.

The global machine glazed Kraft papers market is constantly evolving. The dynamics in this consumption-driven market keeps on changing due to frequent changes in trends. An increase in the aesthetic and sustainable packaging in various end-use industries across the world, especially in emerging economies is enabling the expansion of machine glazed kraft paper market. Some of the key applications are in the food, medical, furniture, and textile industries.

Among regions, Asia Pacific held dominant position in the global Machine Glazed Kraft Paper market in 2020, accounting for 28.60% market share in terms of revenue, followed by North America and Europe. The availability of low-cost labor and production in Asia has prompted machine-glazed paper manufacturers globally to develop their operations there. Furthermore, in Asia, the sustainability movement is fast gaining traction. The region has had a considerable impact on beverage packaging that claims to be environmentally friendly. Due to the availability of the product at low rates and the presence of many manufacturers in the region, China dominates the Asia-Pacific machine glazed paper market. A growing desire for sustainable packaging for on-the-go and takeaway foods and beverages has been seen by several foods and beverage specialists in Asia.

Market Restraints

The application of the kraft paper is in the high end packing design, when a product is packaged in kraft paper, because kraft paper is made of wood fiber, the packaging made of it can be completely recycled and reused many times. These are unmatched by other packaging materials. These can be seen from the wide application of kraft paper packaging. The new kraft paper packaging will be more and more recognized and valued by designers and packagers. As the machine glazed kraft paper is a single use material it causes a harm to the environment. The high demand of the machine glazed kraft paper is reponcible for the cutting of trees for the extraction of the pulp for the paper manufacturing. These causes deforesttration which is a serious exvironment concern. The dyes used for colouring kraft paper also cause harm to the environment if it get involved in the water bodies. The environmental hazards created by the Machine glazed kraft paper is a major restraint for these market.

Market Trends

Reusing industrial wood waste by a process of kraft pulping is the latest trend which is followed by the machine glazed kraft paper manufacturers. The kraft pulping is the process by which wood is turned into wood pulp, the main component of the paper. Wood chips are treated with a hot mixture of water, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and sodium sulfide (Na2S) in large pressure vessels called digesters. Kraft pulp made from industrial wood waste can also be used to manufacture machine glazed kraft paper and it may have a darker color than any other pulp One of the major benefits of kraft pulping is that roughly 90% of the pulping chemicals can be recovered and reused in an economical manner. This makes the process more sustainable and affordable at the same time. The recycling of the industrial waste wood for the manufacturing of the kraft paper helps to overcome wastage of wood and control carbon emission and it is the latest trend in the market of machine glazed kraft paper.

On the grade type, in 2021, bleached paper segment held largest revenue share of 57.84 % in global Machine Glazed Kraft Paper market. Machine-glazed bleached Kraft paper is known for its high rigidity and durability. It produces an exceptional high gloss on one side of the paper. This allows for the ability to have an opacity, printability and superb combination of run ability. Bleached Kraft paper undergoes a treatment using bleach and other chemicals to whiten and purify the natural Kraft pulp. Through this process, the paper becomes stronger than traditional brown Kraft paper. Because of this added strength, white bleached Kraft paper is used heavily in wrapping and packaging. The paper is used for food packaging, shopping bags and nonfood items packaging.

Global Machine Glazed Kraft Paper Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic

Food being an essential commodity, the demand for food ingredients is expected to rise during the COVID-19 pandemic and post pandemic conditions, worldwide. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has majorly impacted the food & beverages industry and in turn, has changed the dynamics of entire ecosystem including food and beverages packing products where machine glazed kraft paper is a main material. Lockdown in various countries such as India, China, and Spain, among others, and cease in the subsequent trade activities have paralyzed the supply chain. The lockdown and social distancing measures impacted the production capacity of Machine Glazed Kraft Paper manufacturing plants and are operating at reduced production rates. This has negatively affected the supply of Machine Glazed Kraft Paper to the market.
