The upstream and downstream sectors of the industrial chain continue to benefit, boosting the prosperity of the tipping paper (tipping paper) industry

Tipping paper, also known as tipping paper, refers to a kind of decorative paper obtained after printing and processing the original paper. Tipper paper has the advantages of non-toxic, green and environmentally friendly, good uniformity, good water resistance, and good air permeability. It can be used as cigarette packaging material and is widely used in the outer packaging of filter cigarette tip sticks. According to different production processes, tipping paper can be divided into two categories: coated tipping paper and printed tipping paper.

The upstream of the tipping paper industry chain supplies raw materials, with wood pulp as its core raw material, including hardwood pulp, softwood pulp, etc. my country is a major wood pulp producer, and its output has maintained a long-term growth trend. In 2022, my country’s wood pulp output will reach 22.913 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 18.4%. Kraft softwood pulp is a subdivided product of softwood pulp. It contains a large amount of lignocellulose and has the advantages of high strength, short cooking time, and high purity. It is widely used in the preparation process of tipping paper. The sufficient supply of raw materials has laid a good foundation for the development of my country’s tipping paper industry.

The midstream of the tipping paper industry chain is product manufacturing, with coated tipping paper and printed tipping paper being its mainstream products. Coated tipping paper refers to tipping paper made by coating technology. It has the advantages of low production cost and high production efficiency, and is widely used in mid-to-low-end cigarette packaging. Compared with coated tipping paper, printed tipping paper has the advantages of good leveling and aesthetics, and can be used to manufacture high-end cigarette packaging. In the future, as the application demand for segmented products increases, the prosperity of my country’s tipping paper industry will further improve.

According to the “2023-2028 China Tipper Paper (Tipping Paper) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report span>》 shows that the downstream of the tipping paper industry chain is the application field, and cigarettes are the largest demand end. my country is a major cigarette producer. According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, my country’s cumulative cigarette output from January to June 2023 was 1,346.6 billion sticks, a cumulative increase of 1.7%. Tipping paper can be used as the outer packaging of filter cigarette tip sticks. As the development of downstream industries accelerates, its market space will continue to expand.

There are many tipping paper manufacturers in my country, and the market competition is fierce. The main players in my country’s tipping paper market include Temei, Chiyu, Cairn, Hengfeng Paper, Jinghua Laser, Great Eastern New Materials, etc. Temei Co., Ltd. focuses on the research and development, production and sales of paper products. Its main products include tipping paper, aluminum foil paper, etc. According to the semi-annual report of Temei Co., Ltd., in the first half of 2023, the company achieved revenue of 160 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 37.1%.

Industry analysts said that as cigarette packaging paper, tipping paper has strong market demand and good industry development prospects. Benefiting from sufficient supply of raw materials and technological progress, the production and quality of tipping paper in my country have continued to improve. It is expected that in the future, as local companies continue to exert their efforts, the development speed of my country’s tipping paper industry will further accelerate.
