MARKET ANALYSIS

Paper honeycomb is lightweight, durable and sustainable material used in automotive, construction and furniture applications. It is made from recycled paper or other types of paper, bound together in hexagonal structure. The hexagonal structure of paper honeycomb offers high strength-to-weight ratio. Paper honeycomb is available in several forms such as continuous unexpanded honeycomb core, unexpanded slices, and pre-expanded sheets. Rising sustainability initiatives and government policies promoting utilization of sustainable material is fueling the paper honeycomb market.

GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

Growing demand for lightweight and sustainable materials as well as increasing use in automotive applications are the factors driving the paper honeycomb market. Paper honeycomb is a lightweight and sustainable material that can potentially aid in reduction of waste and pollution. The growing awareness of the environmental impact on conventional materials such as plastic and metal is further driving the paper honeycomb market. Substituting cast iron and traditional steel components with lightweight materials such as high-strength paper honeycomb reduces the total weight of a vehicle, thereby reducing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. Moreover, paper honeycomb is suitable for the manufacturing of interior components, interior panels, headliners, and door panels. The application of paper honeycomb in the automotive sector is growing at a significant pace.

In past few years, automotive manufacturers have emphasized on recyclability of paper honeycomb, aligning with the goals of automotive industry to reduce waste and promote environmental responsibility. Therefore, a high demand for sustainable and renewable materials from the automotive industry for the manufacturing of fuel-efficient, lightweight vehicles drives the paper honeycomb market. The limited load bearing capacity and hygroscopicity of paper honeycomb pose a challenge to the paper honeycomb market. Paper honeycomb is strong material, but cannot support weight compared to other materials such as metals and plastics, thereby limiting applications in heavy duty packaging and structural components. It is subject to structural deformation when exposed to moisture, thus limiting application in outdoor as well as marine applications. Therefore, hygroscopicity and limited load bearing capacity of paper restraining the paper honeycomb market growth.
