Food Grade Glassine Paper is a specialty paper characterized by its greaseproof, moisture-resistant properties and FDA-compliant food safety standards. This translucent or opaque paper undergoes supercalendering to achieve its smooth surface, making it ideal for wrapping baked goods, meats, and other food products requiring breathable yet protective packaging. Its key variants include transparent/translucent and opaque types, each serving distinct applications in the food industry.
The market growth is driven by increasing consumer preference for sustainable packaging solutions and stringent food safety regulations globally. However, rising raw material costs present ongoing challenges. Key players like Futamura Chemical and Shandong Henglian New Materials are investing in production capacity expansions to meet growing demand, particularly from bakery and meat packaging segments which collectively account for over 60% of applications.
Global Food Grade Glassine Paper market size was valued at USD 4,776 million in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 5,034 million in 2025 to USD 6,896 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period.
