Based on type, coated wood-free paper accounted for a major share of the global market in 2017. This segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during 2018–2030 owing to its high quality and superior printing properties as compared to uncoated wood-free paper.
Product Definition:
Wood-free paper is a type of paper that is made without the use of wood pulp. This type of paper is often used for printing books and other documents because it produces less lint than traditional wood pulp-based papers.
Coated Wood-free Paper:
Coated wood-free paper is a type of specialty paper that has been manufactured without the use of chemicals or pulp stock. Coated wood-free papers are manufactured by using either water or alcohol as a coating media on the base paper. The major factor driving demand for coated wood-free papers is their growing adoption in packaging applications owing to properties such as excellent printability, smooth surface finish and high tear strength.
Uncoated Wood-free Paper:
Uncoated wood-free paper is a special type of paper that contains no colorants or dyes. It has superior properties such as it can be used in printing and writing, it does not yellow over time, and the ink will not fade away when dry. Uncoated wood-free papers are manufactured from cellulose fibers which are extracted from natural sources including cotton & jute plants; they have high tensile strength & durability along with water resistance property.
Application Insights:
Advertising material was the largest application segment in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Increasing use of wood-free paper in advertising materials, such as magazines, leaflets, brochures and pamphlets is expected to drive demand over the coming years.
