The growth is due to a rising preference for vegetable parchment paper in food packaging, the high growth of the processed food industry, increased environmental consciousness, and the growing demand for sustainable, high-quality parchment paper from the food industry.
The vegetable parchment paper market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The vegetable parchment paper market is expected to grow to $1.71 billion by 2029 with a CAGR of 5.8%.

The growth of the vegetable parchment paper market is anticipated to be fueled by the escalating demand from the food industry. Comprising a myriad of farmers and businesses, the food industry caters to the global food consumption needs. The current incline in demand stems from the swell in population and evolving consumer preferences for convenience and a wider range of dietary choices. Vegetable parchment paper, vital for efficient food preparation, maintaining cooking consistency, ensuring food safety, and promoting environmental sustainability, has become an indispensable tool in the food industry. Take for example the data from the United States Department of Agriculture, a governmental entity in the U.S., which stated that overall food expenditure in the U.S escalated by 11.4% in 2021 and by 3.4% in 2022, owing to expenses related to eating out, which grew by 19% in 2021 and by 8% in 2022. Accordingly, the mounting demand from the food industry has been propelling the vegetable parchment paper market's growth. The surge in awareness of health concerns is considered another key driver of the vegetable parchment paper market. Referring to potential threats to physical or mental health due to exposure to risk factors or lifestyle choices, these concerns can potentially impact a person's life quality. This growing awareness has been facilitated by digital media, public health campaigns, and the emphasis by healthcare organizations on preventative care. The augmented awareness is propelling the demand for vegetable parchment paper, with consumers gravitating towards environmentally friendly and non-toxic alternatives, considered safer and more sustainable than traditional parchment paper. For example, the International Food Information Council, an American non-profit entity, reported in May 2022 that 52% of Americans had followed a specific diet or eating pattern in the past year, a significant increase from 39% in the previous year. Hence, the escalating awareness of health concerns is contributing to the growth of the vegetable parchment paper market.
