Market Overview
The synthetic paper has a similar appearance to ordinary paper but features more akin to plastic films. Since synthetic paper has better physical and chemical characteristics than regular paper, it offers many advantages. Petroleum derivatives with synthetic resins like polypropylene and polyethylene are frequently used to produce synthetic paper. Synthetic papers are environmentally friendly and inorganic, producing less waste during production. Worldwide, synthetic papers are used extensively for picture printing because of their glossy surface coating, which makes colors look appealing. These sheets are frequently used to print pamphlets, posters, and other materials like banners. As an eco-friendly substance, these papers have become increasingly important. The practice of printing photographs on synthetic paper for indoor banners, posters, and other photo printing applications is likely to drive its demand in the coming period. It is well known that these papers enhance the color and appeal of photos. The market for synthetic paper is also positively impacted by the spike in investments, expansion of manufacturing industries, use in consumer product packaging, and quick industrialization.
COVID-19 Impact:
The global synthetic papers market was negatively affected by COVID-19. The public and government sectors have suffered greatly from the financial crisis. Business were closed in numerous countries due to social distancing guidelines and lockdowns. Low production due to a shortage of laborers caused huge problems for the synthetic paper industry. Due to limited production and industry closures, such as printing, there was a decline in demand for synthetic papers. As a result of the post-COVID-19 situation, synthetic papers are expected to grow in demand.

Growth Drivers
- Demand for eco-friendly and recycled packaging advancements to drive market growth
One of the key reasons propelling the growth of the global synthetic paper market is the rising customer preference for recycled and eco-friendly packaging. The market is being driven further by the increased demand for synthetic resins due to the material's excellent qualities, including resistance to chemicals, oils, tears, and moisture. Many businesses, including those that manufacture food and beverages, transportation, medical items, packaging, and consumer goods, are increasingly using synthetic paper. The increased acceptance of using environmentally friendly items benefits the market.
Restraints
- Fluctuation in the price of raw materials and crude oil hinders the market growth
In synthetic paper, price fluctuations may limit market growth due to fluctuations in basic raw materials like polybutylene, polypropylene, and polyethylene. A volatile raw material price will further increase production costs and act as a constraint on the industry. Plastic material for synthetic paper is in short supply, limiting the market growth. Crude oil is another major constraint on synthetic paper prices. There is a likelihood that prices of PP and PE will rise due to fluctuations in crude oil prices. Rising polymer prices will impact the market in the coming years. Raw material availability and application growth will likely drive price fluctuations for some time to come.
Synthetic Papers Market: Segmentation
The global synthetic paper market has been segmented into raw materials, applications, end-user, and region.
Based on raw materials, the BOPP, HDPE, PET, and PVC are segments of the synthetic paper market. Among these, the BOPP segment led the market in 2021. This material is extensively used in applications that require high tensile strength, high tensile stability, and heat stability. BOPP is an excellent material for labeling and printing because that can be made into a thin transparent substrate. Food and beverage packaging can be made with this synthetic paper because it is environmentally friendly and low in toxicity.
Based on end-use, the market is classified into industrial, institutional, and commercial/retail. In 2021, the industrial category dominated the global market due to the increasing utilization of synthetic papers in various industries such as paper manufacturing and others.
Based on application, the worldwide synthetic paper market is segmented into printing, labels & tags, packaging, and others. In 2021, the printing segment was anticipated to have the highest share in this market. Among synthetic paper applications, printing is the most common. Ink holds better on its micropores surface, providing a high-quality finish and better affinity for ink. Compared with conventional papers, its properties, such as durability, tear resistance, water resistance, scratch resistance, and abrasion resistance, make it an important substrate.
