Regional Insights

North America currently leads the global market, thanks to strong demand from the food service industry and strict packaging standards.
Asia-Pacific is set to record the fastest growth, driven by rapid urbanization, rising consumer awareness, and government regulations supporting eco-friendly packaging.

Key Applications and End Users

The food packaging sector remains the largest and fastest-growing application, accounting for more than USD 1.2 billion in 2024, with an expected CAGR of 4.5%. Waxed paper is widely used in restaurants, bakeries, and the food service industry as a hygienic, sustainable packaging option.
