Segment Insights: Unbleached and Bakery Applications Lead

Unbleached parchment paper held the largest market share in 2022 and is expected to keep growing as buyers look for sustainable and safe packaging. If You Care offers unbleached, chlorine-free sheets, while Reynolds Consumer Products promotes compostable unbleached paper made from responsibly sourced wood fibers. By application, the bakery and confectioners segment accounted for a significant share in 2022. Changing lifestyles and dietary patterns lift demand for baked goods, and parchment paper's grease resistance and non-stick surface protect product quality. In 2020, Nordic Paper ran a campaign with the National Swedish Baking Team that promoted unbleached baking paper across Europe as a safer choice for professional bakers.
