Industry Overview
After a year marked by global uncertainties and volatilities, the global economy achieved greater stability in 2023. While uncertainty stemming from adverse geopolitical developments remained elevated, global economic growth was surprisingly robust. As per the World Economic Outlook (WEO), April 2024 of the International Monetary Fund (IMF)1, the global economy registered a growth of 3.2 per cent in 2023, though marginally lower than in 2022 and average for 2011-19 but higher compared to the projection of 2.8 per cent as per the April 2023 WEO. The context in which the growth of 3.2 per cent in 2023 has been achieved is markedly different compared to the 2011-19 period. Inflationary pressures have been significantly higher on account of the persistence of core inflation. Global trade moderated due to rising geopolitical tensions, cross-border restrictions and slower growth in advanced economies (AEs). The muted trade growth occurred despite the easing of supply chain pressures. The India Paper and Paperboard Packaging Market size is estimated at USD 12.87 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 17.74 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.63% during the forecast period (2024-2029). The paper industry in India produces 5% of the world's total paper. India accounts for about 5% of the global paper market. The market will be worth about USD 8 billion by 2022. India is the 15th largest paper producer in the world. The paper production increased by 67,100 tons in January 2023. During April 2022-January 2023, the paper production increased by 6.7%. The paper packaging industry experienced growth over the last decade, owing to substrate choice changes, new market expansion, ownership dynamics, and government initiatives to ban plastic. Sustainability and environmental issues continue to be emphasized, and various innovations catering to paper and paper board packaging are expected to drive market growth in India.
