The rising trend towards digitization and paperless communication has hampered industry growth. Many firms choose to employ digital documents and paperless alternatives, such as email, document management systems, and mobile devices, over papers. Moreover, most individuals are already well acquainted with the near-instantaneous nature of digital communication, which has declined the demand for paper documents.
Based on product, the pulp & paper enzymes market from the amylases segment is set to reach USD 96.8 million by 2032. Amylases are used in the paper industry to amend the natural starch content in coated sheets by the creation of high molecular weight and low viscosity starch. It serves as a paper coating paste that increases the hardness and strength of the paper, thereby facilitating the production of high-quality paper. Hence, the rising demand for amylase by paper manufacturers to enhance the viscosity and concentration of paper-coating starch is expected to push segment growth.
In terms of application, the pulp & paper enzymes market from the surface coating segment is predicted to observe around 5% growth rate through 2032 attributed to the rising demand for coatings with advantageous properties. Surface coating is also required to improve the reliability and efficiency of automotive systems as these coatings reduce friction, which enhances wear resistance. According to a US Economy study, lowering the friction coefficient and wear in engine and valve trains saves around USD 120 billion annually. Hence, the increasing demand from the automobile sector is projected to increase the segment share.
Asia Pacific pulp & paper enzymes market is poised to reach USD 129 million by 2032 propelled by the new trend of lightweight packaging cardboard boxes for logistics purposes. Additionally, high product demand for packaging and distribution activities, especially from the booming F&B sector is offering new growth opportunities to the industry players. For instance, in July 2022, Confoil, an Australian food packaging business, and BASF collaborated to create a certified biodegradable and dual oven-able paper food tray. The inside of the paper tray is coated with BASF's ecovio PS 1606, a partially bio-based and certified biodegradable biopolymer developed specifically for covering paper or board food packaging.
Some of the major companies operating in the pulp & paper enzymes market are :
These firms are focusing their efforts on strategic initiatives such as collaborations, acquisitions, and innovative product launches to improve their industry standing.
