INDIAN PAPER INDUSTRY AT A GLANCE IN 2018 - 2019

Overview

The Indian paper industry accounts for about 3.7% of the world's production of paper.
The estimated turnover of the industry is INR 60,000 crore (USD 8.5 billion
approximately) and its contribution to the exchequer is around INR 4,500 crore. The
industry provides employment to more than 0.5 million people directly and 1.5 million
people indirectly.

The Indian Paper mills use a variety of raw material like wood, bamboo, recycled
fibre, bagasse, wheat straw, rice husk, etc. In terms of share in total production,
approximately 25% are based on wood, 58% on recycled fibre and 17% on agro-
residues..

The per capita paper consumption in

India is at a little over 13 kg, is way behind the global average of 57 kg. Paper consumption
in India is approximately 15 million tonnes per annum (TPA) but is expected to reach 23.5
TPA by 2025. Forecasted demand for paper in 2025 is 23,5 million tons The futuristic view
is that growth in paper consumption would be in multiples of GDP and hence an increase in
consumption by one kg per capita would lead to an increase in demand of 1 million tonnes.
The Indian paper industry is expanding at a rate of 6-7 per cent which would drive the
growth of the Industry.
