The global production of printing & writing papers was estimated at 81 million tons in 2020. Printing & writing papers output fell by roughly 20 percent between 2015 and 2020, and is expected to fall further in the coming years. Although increased digitalization has seen the demand for printing papers to decline, packaging paper materials have seen increased production. This has been driven by the e-commerce boom.
