In terms of volume, coated fine paper was the largest segment of the global coated paper market in 2013 and held over 55% share.

Coated groundwood paper product segment is estimated to expand at a moderate rate from 2014 to 2020. The others segment is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period owing to increasing utility of these papers in food and beverages applications. Asia Pacific dominated the coated paper market in terms of volume with more than 33% share in 2013. The region has been experiencing high demand for coated paper in food and beverages, cosmetics, and packaging industries. Development of Asia Pacific as a manufacturing hub has propelled the growth of the coated paper market in the region. Demand for coated paper in North America and Europe is projected to increase at a sluggish rate during the forecast period.
