Which Factors Are Boosting Growth In The Polyaluminum Chloride Market?
Growth in the pulp and paper sectors is predicted to drive the expansion of the polyaluminum chloride (PAC) market. Dedicated to turning raw materials, like wood pulp or recycled paper fibers, into finished products such as paper and cardboard, the pulp and paper industry is in a period of growth. Driving factors include an increased demand for packaging materials, higher literacy rates necessitating more paper products like books, and the e-commerce boom which requires more shipping boxes. PAC aids in papermaking by improving drainage, enabling quicker water removal, and enhancing the overall efficiency of paper formation. In July 2023, the International Energy Agency, an autonomous intergovernmental organization based in France, noted that nearly 2% of total industrial emissions in 2022 were due to the pulp and paper sector. As paper production is set to increase until 2030, further action is required to reduce the emission intensity of this industry. Hence, the polyaluminum chloride market is growing due to the expansion in the pulp and paper industries.
