This trend is driven by advancements in printing technology and the growing demand for visually appealing interior designs. Moreover, the increasing popularity of eco-friendly materials and sustainable technologies indicates a greater shift in environmental awareness among businesses.
Sustainability First
According to research, consumer preferences for eco-friendly decor are expanding. This has led to an increase in the market for printed decorative papers made with natural fibers, recyclable materials, and eco-friendly inks. To this end, producers have introduced novel products such as wood grain papers made from recycled wood pulp that appeal to consumers who value the environment and prefer a natural look. This trend is expected to drive the wood grain decorative paper market in the coming years.
Digital Printing Shines
Research shows that while gravure printing still accounts for the majority of the market due to its superior output quality, digital printing technology is on the rise. Digital printing offers on-demand customization, reduced minimum order quantities, and faster turnaround times. This caters to the growing demand for short-term design projects and custom interiors. As the technology evolves, especially in specialty applications, we expect digital printing to see more growth in its market share.

The role of decorative paper in building materials:
Decorative paper plays an important role in building materials products, especially low-pressure boards, high-pressure boards, fireproof boards, floors, etc. used in furniture and cabinets. Its main function is to provide decorative effects of patterns and cover to prevent the bottom glue from seeping out. Decorative paper requires a smooth surface, good absorbency and adaptability, uniform base color, and bright color. In addition, decorative paper is also required to have good hiding power, impregnation and printing properties.
The application of decorative paper is not limited to construction and furniture manufacturing, but also plays a key role in the secondary processing of artificial boards. By combining with titanium dioxide materials to form the final decorative boards, these decorative boards have the characteristics of bright color, beautiful appearance, good light resistance and heat resistance. Decorative paper can be classified according to the scope of use and different raw materials. For example, it can be decorative paper without any color or decorative paper mainly used for printing. It can also be divided into organic and inorganic categories.

Wear-resistant paper is usually used on the back of laminate flooring, and has excellent covering ability, liquid glue absorption, wet strength, uniformity, light resistance, drug resistance and high temperature resistance. Balancing paper is used on the back of laminate flooring to provide additional strength and stability.
