Paper bags are renewable and eco-friendly product variants of conventional bags used to hold purchases and packaging items. These bags are available in different forms, shapes, colors, and sizes that vary depending on the diverse requirements of users. They are biodegradable and require less energy for recycling as compared to plastic bags. At present, there is an increase in the demand for paper bags in India on account of the growing awareness among individuals about the health hazards of plastics.

Rapid urbanization and inflating disposable incomes are positively influencing the demand for luxury and premium paper bags in India. Apart from this, due to rising environmental concerns, the Government of India is emphasizing on reducing the utilization of single-use plastics. Consequently, National Green Tribunal (NGT) imposed a ban on non-biodegradable plastic bags in Delhi and the NCR region. Sate-owned institutions, such as Indian Railways and Air India, also announced a ban on single-use plastics in 2019, which is encouraging the adoption of paper bags in various end use industries. Furthermore, market players are focusing on the introduction of aesthetically appealing paper bags to help brands build an image. This is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for manufacturers in the coming years.
