The special pulp and paper market was valued at 15,568 million in 2016, and by 2027, it is expected to reach 22,829 million, showing an annual growth rate of 5.6% from 2017 to 2023. In 2016, it accounted for about one-fifth of the functional chemicals segment. In terms of global market, value.


Specialty pulp and paper chemicals are the raw materials used to make special paper. This is an integral part of the paper manufacturing process and reduces the consumption of water and energy. It also improves the optical and functional characteristics of paper such as color, texture, brightness, strength, and printing ability during the paper manufacturing process. Some of the special paper chemicals include sodium hydrosulfite, hydrogen peroxide and chlorine, which are used as bleaching agents. Sodium silicate, various surfactants used in enzyme and deinking processes; and alkyl ketone dimers and alkenyl succinic anhydrides used in sizing. Special papers are used in a variety of applications including printing, labeling and packaging in a variety of sectors such as paper, food, textile, retail and packaging.

Paper recycling has gained considerable importance in the global paper industry over the last decade. Increased use of recycled paper results in increased requirements for specialty pulp and paper chemicals. In addition, demand for functional chemicals such as packaging, printing and decoration is increasing, leading the special pulp and paper market.
