Multiwall Paper Sacks Market Size, Share, and Industry Analysis By Layer (Double-Ply, Triple-Ply, and Others), By Product Type (Open Mouth {Sewn, Pinch Bottom, Pasted}, Valve, and Others), By End-use Industry (Food & Beverages, Personal Care & Cosmetics, Agriculture, Pharmaceuticals, Building & Construction, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Multiwall paper sacks are an ideal and cost-effective paper packaging solution that offers vigorous protection during the storage and transportation of a product, further enhancing its shelf life. Multiwall bags are significantly replacing corrugated containers and boxes used for the packaging of food & beverage products, as they offer excellent flexibility, durability, and tear resistance. The rising utilization of such products for the packaging of fresh produce, grain crops, fertilizers, seeds, chemicals, pesticides, chemical additives, and other products also propels market growth and generates profitable growth opportunities.

• For instance, in October 2020, ND Paper declared the launch of new and innovative kraft paper bags to the manufacturing lineup. Kraft paper products are utilized for multi-wall bags, retail bags and converting applications and the papers majorly range from 40 lb. to 80 lb.

The rapidly growing chemicals, agriculture, and building & construction industries and the demand for multiwall paper sacks from these sectors are the primary factors driving the market. There is a rise in the demand for eco-friendly & biodegradable multiwall paper sacks, as they have low-cost production and reusability. The rising utilization of such sacks by various industries propels market growth.

With a rise in the demand for paper for various purposes, deforestation has rapidly increased, further leading to an imbalance in the environment and an increase in the greenhouse gas effect in the surroundings. Henceforth, the strict rules and regulations imposed by the government in several different regions toward deforestation is a significant factor hindering the market growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic critically impacted the growth of various end-use sectors worldwide. The multiwall paper sacks market also witnessed a decline in sales during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the halt in operations and manufacturing. The unavailability of raw materials and labor led to a decrease in the global multiwall paper sacks market growth.
