Overview of the paper manufacturing market in Serbia

Extensive research carried out by the analysts at Technavio has shown that the paper manufacturing market in Serbia will grow steadily at a CAGR of more than 3% over the forecast period.  The rising consumption of paper-based tissue and hygiene products is one of the primary factors driving this market’s growth in the coming years. Although Serbia’s GDP has been declining due to the recession, consumer spending on household paper products, such as tissues and personal hygiene has increased significantly due to the indispensable nature of these products. Moreover, the leading manufacturers in the country are also focussing on the provision of value-added products, such as personal wipes, facial tissues, and sanitary products at low costs. The catering and retail sectors are key end-users of tissues and are expected to contribute significantly to the demand for products such as kitchen towels and paper tableware.

One of the emerging trends propelling the growth prospects for this market is the augmented demand and production of recycled paper. Recycled paper is derived from fibers recovered from scrap paper. The consumption of recycled paper has increased drastically in the last few years, leading to an increase in production and imports of recycled paper in the country. The demand for products belonging to this segment is expected to contribute to the growth of manufacturers offering these products.
