Specialty Papers Asia 2024

According to Smithers’ latest Specialty Papers report, the global Specialty Papers market is predicted to be 26.5 million tonnes in 2023 and is projected to grow to 29.5 million tonnes by 2028. The largest categories of specialty papers are flexible packaging, printing papers, and printing labels, which represent almost half the 2023 market tonnage. Asia pacific is the largest region, with over 11million tonnes of specialty paper consumption, accounting for 43%of the 2023 specialty paper tonnage.
In 2023, China’s total consumption of specialty papers amounted to 5.5 million tonnes, positioning it as the largest individual country market worldwide. Specialty paper manufacturing industry is expanding rapidly to meet domestic demand and international exports. To meet the escalating market needs, new specialty paper machines are being constructed. However, The domestic production of specialty paper in China is still relatively low and cannot meet the growing demand for various applications. Specialty paper has high barriers in terms of technology and quality, which pose challenges for small and medium-sized paper mills in China.
Specialty Paper Asia is coming to Shanghai in 2024, where we will dive into the latest developments and opportunities in the Asia-pacific specialty paper market. Learn from international experts about the most advanced specialty paper technologies, applications, sustainable packaging; barrier coatings, alternative fibers, fiber-based packaging, solutions and more!  Alongside beneficial presentations and pioneering discussions, it provides a unique opportunity to network with the entire specialty paper value chain during dedicated networking opportunities and encourages attendees to build beneficial relationships that last long after the event.
