The overall valuation of the global barrier-coated papers market was recorded at US$ 4,640.1 million in 2022. The global market is anticipated to rise at a CAGR of 4.6% during the years from 2023 to 2023. The global market is also expected to reach US$ 7,571.9 million by the year 2033.

North America and Europe are experiencing a surging demand for barrier coated papers, particularly as Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs) make a strong comeback in the post-Covid-19 era. Consumers are increasingly opting for home deliveries, emphasizing the need for impeccable packaging with Eco-shield barrier coatings to ensure food safety and quality.

The United States leads in the consumption of barrier coated papers, driven in part by a significant population of health-conscious individuals. The country’s packaging industry has seen substantial advancements in technology, leading to the adoption of innovative packaging solutions across various sectors.

The market for barrier coated paper packaging in the United States is poised to face fierce competition from new entrants in China and Japan, who are increasingly entering the arena. Additionally, regional and small-scale producers are also joining the flexible paper packaging industry, leveraging the growing demand for barrier coated papers. This influx of new players and innovative packaging solutions underscores the dynamic and competitive nature of the market.

The demand for barrier coated papers is accelerating due to the high use of barrier coatings for food packaging. Moreover, many non-food products and corrugated board packaging applications use barrier coatings for profitable shipping.

Papers with a barrier coating are known to conceal products by grease barrier, moisture barrier, or other necessary barrier types. However, these materials negatively impact the environment and are thus being replaced by paper-based formats with compostable barrier coatings.
