By 2022, demand for liquid paper board (LPB) will have accelerated significantly,<br />
by 4.5% per year, which, according to current studies* of the sector, will lead to a total<br />
market value of 5.83 billion dollars in 2022.<br />
LPB is produced in only ten countries in the world, but finished cardboard products are<br />
consumed in all corners of the globe: three quarters of all finished LPB is still used<br />
in America and Europe; in Asia the market share in 2016 was moderate, 17%. Demand<br />
for LPB is limited to a few segments: in 2016, more than 70% of LPB was used in the<br />
dairy industry, another 20% in packaging juices. Alternative milk products, such as<br />
soya, cereals and nut drinks and other trends in the beverages sector such as tea, coffee and<br />
energy drinks are tapping new niche markets and stimulating demand for LPB.<br />
