Global Specialty Pulp and Paper Chemicals Market: Overview
Specialty pulp and paper chemicals are raw materials used in the production of specialty papers and can be largely categorized into functional chemicals, bleaching chemicals, basic chemicals, and process chemicals. Specialty papers are the end result of the mixture of chemicals and paper pulp.
Dyes and coatings are functional chemicals that are used to give final color and texture to papers, which are subsequently used in numerous applications such as printing and packaging. Various chemicals are presently being used to brighten specialty paper and ward off discoloration; they include optical brightening agents (OBA), chlorine-based bleaching agents, deinking agents, hydrogen peroxide, and fluorescent brightening agents.

Global Specialty Pulp and Paper Chemicals Market: Regional Outlook
Geographically, Asia Pacific is known to largely contribute to the market and is expected to continue its dominance over the said market during the forecast period. The regional growth can be attributed to the rapid development of retail markets, especially in India and China, which is increasing the demand for packaging materials, invariably driving the demand for specialty pulp and paper chemicals.
With growing demand from Asia Pacific for specialty pulp and paper chemicals, the Europe market is expected to witness a decline in the global market in terms of share. Usage of paper for magazines will take a back seat owing to the rise of electronic media and the advent of the digital age will further exacerbate the situation in North America. Nevertheless, the demand for specialty papers for packaging will provide a much needed boost to the global specialty pulp and paper chemicals market in this region over the forecast period.
