Product Definition:
Lightweight Coated Paper is a type of paper that has a coating of clay and other materials that gives it a smooth finish. This type of paper is used for printing documents, brochures, and other marketing materials. The coating on the paper helps to protect it from fading and smudging.
Matt LWC Paper:
Matt lwc paper is a type of coated paper intended for use in lightweight packaging applications. It has superior properties such as low weight, high brightness and smoothness which make it suitable for food packaging applications. Matt lwc papers are manufactured using bleached wood pulp with the addition of clay minerals and/or calcium carbonate to improve strength, stiffness & durability along with reducing ink absorbency characteristics.
Gloss LWC Paper:
Gloss LWC paper is a type of coated paper, which is manufactured using low volatile content pulp. Coated papers are used in food packaging applications owing to their properties such as excellent printability and scuff resistance. The product also has good water retention capacity thereby preventing the foodstuffs from absorbing moisture.
The major drivers for the growth of gloss LWC paper include increasing demand for sustainable products along with rising awareness regarding hygiene in healthcare facilities across the globe.
Application Insights:
Advertising material was the leading application segment in terms of revenue share in 2017. The lightweight coated paper used for advertising materials is expected to have a positive impact on the growth owing to its ability to provide an attractive look and feel. This application segment is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period as these products are widely used for printing various types of advertisements including posters, brochures, magazines and newspapers.
The use of LWC papers in catalogues & brochures is expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period due largelyto their low cost as compared with other papers like glossy or matt paper. Catalogues & brochure publishing houses prefer using LWC coatedpapers as they can be easily stored and distributed among customers without any extra costs involved i.e., no extra copies required, easy binding also helps reduce publication costs which eventually reduces price points ultimately driving demand further down the road during this estimated timeframe.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing demand for LWC paper from packaging, printing and writing applications in countries such as China, India, Japan and South Korea.
The growing population coupled with rising living standards have resulted in an increase in consumer spending on household goods such as furniture, bedding etc., which will drive product demand further. In addition, rapid industrialization along with government support aimed at promoting foreign direct investments has resulted into increased production of printed materials by companies such as Toyota Industries Corporation (TIC), Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation (MCCH) among others resulting into increased consumption of lightweight coated paper products over the next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for lightweight coated paper in the packaging industry as a result of its high quality and durability.
- Rising demand from the publishing sector due to its excellent printing properties.
- Growing popularity of digital printing, which is driving the need for lightweight coated papers with superior imaging qualities.
- Increasing use of lightweight coated papers in commercial and institutional applications such as menus, brochures, flyers, and posters due to their low environmental impact and cost-efficiency.
