According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the global waxed paper market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,863.7 million in 2024. Global demand for waxed paper is predicted to rise at a steady CAGR of 4.8% throughout the forecast period. By 2034, the market is expected to reach US$ 2,991.8 million.

Waxed paper is increasingly used in the food industry to preserve the freshness and quality of ready-to-eat food items and acts as a barrier against external elements. Waxed paper packaging and wrapping ensure that consumers have fresh and flavourful eating experiences, driving the market growth.

Fast food and ready-to-eat items are becoming oilier, leading to rising demand for packaging that prevents greasiness. Waxed paper, with its grease-resistant properties, is sustainable and prevents oil leakage and grease stains, ensuring the integrity of packaging during handling and consumption.

The waxed paper serves better portability and convenience while delivering food, allowing consumers to carry and move with their ready-to-eat foodstuff easily. The lightweight and foldable nature of waxed paper is suitable for packaging for portable and on-the-go consumption, fueling market expansion.
