In recent developments across the global paper chemicals market, demand for surface sizing agents is witnessing significant growth. This trend is driven by increasing requirements for high-performance printing papers and packaging grades that offer enhanced surface strength, moisture resistance, and printability.
According to industry research published this week, the global paper chemicals sector is projected to grow steadily over the next five years, with surface sizing technologies becoming a key focus area. Factors such as the rising consumption of coated paper, growing packaging demands due to e-commerce, and environmental regulations pushing for water-based, low-VOC additives have all contributed to this momentum.
Among the different types of sizing agents, cationic and anionic surface sizing agents are gaining traction for their ability to improve ink holdout, reduce paper fuzz, and increase hydrophobicity without compromising recyclability. Particularly in Asia-Pacific and Europe, paper mills are increasingly investing in chemical formulations that support both print quality and sustainability.
Paper manufacturers are also seeking more customized solutions, working closely with chemical suppliers to develop sizing agents compatible with specific fiber types, machine conditions, and end-use applications. This is creating opportunities for innovation in polymer-based and hybrid surface treatments.
