Indian Paper Manufacturers Association - New Delhi
About Indian Paper Manufacturers Association
The Indian paper industry accounts for about 5% of the world’s production of paper. The estimated turnover of the industry is INR 70,000 crore (domestic market size of INR 80,000 crores) and its contribution to the exchequer is around INR 5,000 crore. The industry provides direct employment to 500,000 persons, and indirectly to around 1.5 million.
Most of the paper mills are in existence for a long time and hence present technologies fall in a wide spectrum ranging from oldest to the most modern. The mills use a variety of raw material viz. wood, bamboo, recycled fibre, bagasse, wheat straw, rice husk, etc. In terms of share in total production, approximately 21% are based on wood, 71% on recycled fibre and 8% on agro-residues. The geographical spread of the industry, as well as market, is mainly responsible for the regional balance of production and consumption.
The per capita paper consumption in India at around 15 kg, is way behind the global average of 57 kg.
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.
