Global Unbleached Softwood Kraft Pulp Market is valued approximately USD XX billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than XX % over the forecast period 2022-2028. Unbleached Kraft pulps are made from a mixture of prime softwood species (such as white spruce, lodgepole pine and subalpine fir) which are indigenous to British Columbia. This pulp is used for manufacturing a variety of paper products, such as printing and writing paper, specialty grades, and tissue products among others. Growing Food & Beverages industry and rising demand for sustainable packaging solutions are key drivers for the growth of Unbleached Softwood Kraft Pulp market. For instance, according to global database management company Statista- As of 2021, the global functional foods and beverage market was valued at USD 281.14 billion, and the market is predicted to grow at a compound annual growth rate of about 9.5 percent between 2021 and 2028 and would amount to USD 0.5 trillion by 2028. Furthermore, in January 2022, Finland based Paper & Forest Products company Ahlstrom-Munksjo has acquired 60% stake in Chinese decor paper producer Minglian New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. Also, with the increasing consumers preference towards paper packaging and rising e-commerce sector in emerging economies, the adoption & demand for Unbleached Softwood Kraft Pulp is likely to increase the market growth during the forecast period.
