Vegetable parchment paper refers to a type of paper treated to improve its durability, grease resistance, and water resistance, making it suitable for culinary and industrial uses. It plays a crucial role in achieving consistent baking results, facilitating easy cleanup, and upholding food safety standards in the culinary sector.
The main types of vegetable parchment paper include bleached, natural, resin-treated, and other varieties. Bleached vegetable parchment paper undergoes a lightening process to enhance its appearance and adaptability for diverse applications. It is categorized into classifications such as plain vegetable parchment and siliconized genuine vegetable parchment. These papers are available through hypermarkets, supermarkets, specialty stores, online platforms, and other distribution channels, and find applications in the food industry, paper industry, and beyond.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting strain on trade relations in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the Paper, Plastics, Rubber, Wood, and Textile sector by driving up the costs of essential imported inputs such as pulp, resin, synthetic rubber, lumber, and cotton, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. Packaging manufacturers, for instance, are facing higher prices for plastic films and corrugated materials, further squeezing margins in an already highly price-sensitive environment. Similarly, textile producers are grappling with increased costs for imported yarns and dyes, adding to the burden of rising labor expenses. In response, some companies are turning to recycled or biodegradable materials, while others are consolidating their supplier base to secure bulk discounts.

The vegetable parchment paper market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.28 billion in 2024 to $1.35 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%.
The vegetable parchment paper market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.66 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the burgeoning food packaging sector, rising disposable income, rising plastic pollution, increasing demand for convenience products, and growing awareness of health concerns. Major trends in the forecast period include demand for recyclable or biodegradable options, new recent developments, technological innovations, expansion of bakery industries, and alteration in consumer preference towards toxin-free products.
The forecast of 5.3% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through elevated import duties on grease-resistant and cellulose-based parchment paper from Europe and Asia, commonly used in food packaging and baking applications. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The vegetable parchment paper market is poised for growth driven by increasing demand from the food industry. This sector, which encompasses farmers and a variety of businesses, serves the global population's food needs, spurred by population growth and evolving consumer preferences favoring convenience and diverse dietary choices. Vegetable parchment paper plays a crucial role in the food industry, facilitating efficient food preparation, ensuring cooking consistency, promoting food safety, and supporting environmental sustainability efforts. For example, according to the United States Department of Agriculture's data from September 2023, total food spending in the US saw significant increases of 11.4% in 2021 and 3.4% in 2022, with notable rises in spending on food away from home (FAFH), up by 19% in 2021 and 8% in 2022. This underscores the strong demand growth within the food industry, which is driving the expansion of the vegetable parchment paper market.
The increasing awareness of health concerns is anticipated to drive the growth of the vegetable parchment paper market in the future. Health concerns refer to issues affecting an individual's physical or mental well-being, often arising from risk factors or lifestyle choices, which can impact overall quality of life. The rise in awareness of health concerns is largely due to greater access to information through digital media, public health campaigns, and a stronger focus on preventive care by healthcare organizations. This growing awareness is boosting the demand for vegetable parchment paper as consumers seek eco-friendly, non-toxic alternatives to traditional parchment paper. For example, in May 2022, the International Food Information Council, a US-based non-profit organization, reported that 52% of Americans followed a specific diet or eating pattern in 2022, a significant increase from 39% in 2021. As a result, the rising awareness of health issues is fueling the growth of the vegetable parchment paper market.
