Synthetic Paper: Technologies and Global Markets
Report Scope:
A few restrictions are in order before explaining the scope of the report:
Likely readers of this report should include synthetic paper producers along with companies that produce printable plastic films, many of which are called converters. Other interested parties should be companies that make flexible plastic packaging films and film extruders. Tag and label producers, including those who provide pressure-sensitive products and in-mold labels, also should be interested in this report.
The term synthetic paper has not been universally defined because it is basically an opaque plastic film that is both printable and writeable. Most synthetic papers are either biaxially-oriented polypropylene (BOPP) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE), although there are sizable amounts made from polyesters and fewer from polystyrene and PVC.
It is essential to understand, regarding market estimates and forecasts in this report, that food/beverage packaging labels have been excluded for several reasons. First, their large volume of plastic films (hundreds of millions of pounds) would distort the basic synthetic paper market. This market, according to industry estimates, is in the range of billions of dollars. Secondly, most industry insiders believe that this market segment lies outside the general definition of synthetic paper.
The report covers the following synthetic paper materials
Polypropylene.
High-density polyethylene (HDPE).
Polyester.
Polystyrene.
Others (predominantly polyvinyl chloride [PVC]).
The scope of this study is global. The global market is segmented by type, by application, by product, by end-user industry, and by geographic regions.
