A tissue paper converting machine is a vital piece of equipment that transforms large paper reels produced by a paper mill into smaller sheets and folded products suitable for use. This machine performs various operations to ensure the production of final paper goods with specific qualities and high quality.
The primary categories of systems found in tissue paper converting machines include toilet roll converting lines, kitchen rolls converting lines, folded tissue converting lines, paper napkin converting lines, and standalone machines. Toilet roll lines are dedicated manufacturing lines used for producing toilet paper rolls. The key components of these lines include unwinding units, embossers, laminators, calendars, rewinders, tail sealers, accumulators, and log saws, available in both fully automatic and semi-automatic configurations.
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.
Tariffs have affected the tissue paper converting machine market by increasing the cost of imported mechanical components, control systems, and precision cutting equipment, leading to higher capital investment requirements. The impact is most evident across high speed toilet roll and kitchen roll converting lines, particularly in regions dependent on cross border machinery supply such as Asia Pacific and Europe. These cost pressures have slowed new capacity additions for small and mid sized manufacturers. At the same time, tariffs are encouraging local machine assembly, regional sourcing of components, and technological standardization, strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities.

The tissue paper converting machine market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.71 billion in 2025 to $1.8 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in hygiene awareness, expansion of tissue paper consumption, rise in urban population, increasing demand for household paper products, development of commercial tissue usage.
The tissue paper converting machine market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.32 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to demand for sustainable tissue products, growth in hospitality and healthcare sectors, automation in paper manufacturing, increasing private label tissue production, expansion of emerging market consumption. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of high speed tissue converting lines, rising demand for fully automatic machines, increasing focus on energy efficient operations, growth in compact and modular machine designs, expansion of multi ply and premium tissue production.
Rising demand for face tissues, toilet paper, and related products is anticipated to support the growth of the tissue paper converting machine market in the coming years. Face tissue refers to a soft paper product commonly used as a handkerchief or for wiping the face. Toilet paper is a hygienic, lightweight, and soft paper product used in restrooms for personal cleaning after excretion. Tissue paper converting machines produce individual toilet rolls and facial tissues in required dimensions through processes such as embossing, perforation, and cutting of large parent paper rolls. For instance, in January 2024, TrendEconomy Ltd., a Bulgaria-based data warehouse and open data portal, reported that Switzerland's exports of commodity group 4803-including toilet or facial tissue stock, towel or napkin stock, and similar sanitary or household paper reached $43 million in 2023. This marked a 17.2% increase compared to 2022. Consequently, the growing demand for face tissues, toilet paper, and related products is driving the tissue paper converting machine market.
Major companies operating in the tissue paper converting machine market are concentrating on the introduction of advanced technological solutions to improve production efficiency, operational flexibility, and automation across tissue converting processes. These solutions assist manufacturers in enhancing product quality, minimizing downtime, and optimizing energy usage. For instance, in April 2025, OMET S.p.A., an Italy-based manufacturer of tissue converting and printing machinery, launched advanced solutions for tissue paper converting that combine high-speed automation, smart control systems, and modular designs to address diverse production requirements. The newly introduced solutions support smooth changeovers, shorter cycle times, and reduced material waste, while increasing accuracy in folding, cutting, and embossing operations. Through the advancement of automation and digitalization in tissue converting, OMET seeks to help tissue manufacturers improve operational efficiency, reduce production costs, and cater to the growing global demand for premium hygiene products.
In August 2025, ANDRITZ, an Austria-based provider of plants, equipment, and services for the pulp, paper, and tissue industry, acquired A.Celli Paper for an undisclosed amount.
