The global tissue paper market was pegged at 36.70 million tons in 2017 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.6% in terms of volume over the forecast period (2019–2027), and expected to reach 50.51 Million tons by 2027. As product packaging and transportation became more important to industry and the global economy, the thick paper used to wrap and protect products evolved into the Tissue Paper we know and use today.
There are a variety of additional materials that can be used to safeguard objects during transportation; for more information, see our protective packaging section. Although no one knows who invented Tissue Paper, it could be tied to Joseph Gayetty’s creation of toilet tissue in 1857, which employs a similar manufacturing technique.
Among distribution channel, online channels is the fastest growing segment during the forecast period, since they allow customers to have products delivered to their doorstep. Consumers are also able to compare prices of different products on different websites and can choose from the various options. Furthermore, online channels offer options such as free shipping, home delivery, on-time delivery, easy exchange, and return in addition to discounts.
The global tissue paper market is growing due to rising consumer hygiene awareness. To understand how tissue paper is manufactured, we must first grasp what tissue paper is comprised of. Paper pulp (wood fibre) or recycled paper materials such as cardboard, newspapers, or some types of juice cartons are used to make it.
After that, the wet pulp is rolled on a paper machine until it reaches the necessary thickness. It’s dried in a vast steam-heated area of the machine before being rolled into massive logs that may be cut to size. This popular substance can become acidic and fragile as it ages. This acidity could harm sensitive goods like clothes and books that are stored within it. As a result, acid-free tissue paper was developed.
