AWA Alexander Watson Associates has announced the release of the 2025 edition of its Specialty Papers and Paperboards Market Report. Now in its 11th edition, this report delivers the most up to date analysis of the global specialty papers and paperboards market. It highlights the diversity of grades and applications, as well as the structural shifts occurring across the value chain.

The past few years have tested the resilience of the specialty paper industry, which has been impacted by elevated raw material and energy costs, global supply chain disruptions, and short term surges in demand. More recently, a period of slower growth emerged in late 2023 and into 2024, driven by broader economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and inventory adjustments downstream. This year’s edition of the report explores how these dynamics have reshaped the market and where new opportunities are now emerging.

Key features of the report include:

• Market sizing and trends by segment and grade
• Regional developments in production and consumption
