PulpPaperNews.com research shows that the global paper bag market is steadily expanding and valued at approximately US$6.4 billion at the end of last year. It is projected to top US$9.6 billion by 2032, with growth stemming from such factors as legislative bans on plastic bags and the ongoing expansion of the retail and restaurant industries.
