The 16th edition of Paperex, World’s largest Paper Show, promises the presence of the biggest brands and companies from the paper Industry from all over the world. The latest technology in paper production along with some of the most innovative and eco-friendly products will also be on display at the show, scheduled from 6-9 Dec 2023 at India Expo center, Delhi NCR, India. The paper sector has advanced rapidly during the period of planned development since independence.
Now, India has 861 paper mills, 526 of which are operational, with a total installed capacity of 27.15 million tonnes, according to a recent industry research. Paper consumption in India is likely to witness 6 to 7 per cent annual growth and will reach 30 million tonnes by FY 2026-27, largely driven by emphasis on education and literacy coupled with growth in organized retail.
The per capita paper consumption in India, at around 15 kg (33 lbs), is way behind the global average of 57 kg (125 lbs).
India is the fastest-growing market for paper globally and it presents an exciting scenario; paper consumption is poised for a big leap forward in sync with economic growth. The futuristic view is that growth in paper consumption would be in multiples of GDP and hence an increase in consumption by one kg per capita would lead to an increase in demand of 1 million tonnes.
To meet the increasing demand of paper and paper products, the paper industry needs new technology, advanced machinery, raw material etc., for paper & board manufacturing. Paperex provides a unified business platform for all paper and allied industries for face to face interactions to explore the new technology, machinery and equipment, and raw material for paper & board manufacturing; exploring alternative suppliers; new import and export destination; and supporting mass users of paper and allied industries including paper traders, printers, publishers, converters and paper packaging companies to explore the variety of papers at the show.
Paperex 2023 has received overwhelming response from the industry and is all set to repeat the success story from 2022 with 700 plus leading exhibitors from 20 countries and thousands of trade visitors from every corner of the world.
