Overview of Report Findings

      1.   Market Growth: The paper dry strength agent market is expected to reach US$ 986.51 million by 2031 from US$ 752.27 million in 2024. It is estimated to record a CAGR of 4.1% over the forecast period. Paper dry strength agents are chemicals that are added during the wet-end processing of paper to its tensile strength and tear resistance, thereby improving its structural integrity. This procedure allows paper and paperboard to withstand physical challenges such as tearing, bending/folding, and crushing during product shipping to longer distances.

      2.   Rise of E-Commerce: In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global e-commerce market gained significant traction. Currently, 64% of the total global population shops goods on e-commerce platforms. With the growing e-commerce sector, the demand for shipping and packaging materials is also increasing. Online retailers majorly rely on paper and paperboard packaging for products, including boxes, padded mailers, and other protective packaging. Thus, the growing trend of online shopping propels the demand for paper dry strength agents, which help withstand wear and tear and improve the structural integrity of the packaging as well as the product inside it.

      3.   Increasing Paper Recycling Rate: Governments from around the world support the use of recycled paper to promote sustainability in the country. According to the American Forest and Paper Association, 46 million tons of paper were recycled in the US in 2023. Paper manufacturers rely on dry strength agents to compensate for the loss of fiber strength in recycled paper. Thus, increasing the paper recycling rate drives the growth of the paper dry strength agent market.  

      4.   Geographical Insights: In 2024, Asia Pacific led the market with a substantial revenue share, followed by Europe and North America. Asia Pacific is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
