Future development of decorative paper industry

The decorative paper industry will continue to maintain a steady growth trend in the future, especially in the middle and high-end markets.
Decorative base paper industry as an important part of wood-based panel veneer materials, its future development is affected by many factors, including market demand, technological progress, environmental protection policies. With the improvement of consumers’ requirements for home beauty and quality, the demand for high-end decorative base paper will continue to grow. This is mainly because the medium and high-end decorative base paper is better in the indicators of light fastness, wear resistance, evenness, scalability, permeability and so on, which can meet the needs of home furnishing enterprises to improve the appearance level, quality and added value of products.
In terms of market demand, with the further improvement of the urbanization rate and the rise of residents’ per capita income, environmentally friendly, low-carbon, personalized and beautiful looking furniture will be more popular. This will put forward higher requirements for the decorative base paper industry and promote the development of the industry in the direction of high-end and environmental protection.
In terms of technological progress, pre-impregnated paper , as a high-end environmental protection decorative base paper, has the characteristics of zero formaldehyde, no pollution, easy processing and low energy consumption, which will become a new trend of future development. The pre-impregnated paper adopts the continuous cold paste method, eliminating the energy consumption links of high temperature and high pressure processing, and can greatly reduce energy consumption. At the same time, the pre-impregnated paper is treated with water-based aldehyde-free latex on the surface of the paper, giving it unique health and environmental protection characteristics, and truly zero formaldehyde emissions.
In terms of environmental protection policies, with the deepening of the global consensus on reducing carbon emissions, the implementation of carbon reduction targets and related policies proposed by various countries, the market competitiveness of low-carbon products will be greatly improved. As a part of the wood-based panel industry chain, the decorative base paper industry will face higher environmental requirements. Enterprises need to meet the requirements of national standards for formaldehyde emission through technological innovation and product upgrading, while improving the environmental performance of products.
To sum up, the future development of decorative base paper industry will be driven by multiple factors such as market demand growth, technological progress and environmental protection policies, the industry will move towards high-end, environmental protection direction, pre-impregnated paper and other environmental protection products will usher in a broader market space.
