global wheat straw pulp market size was USD 716.4 million in 2022 and market is projected to touch USD 1456.22 Million By 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period.

 The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the Wheat Straw Pulp Market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Wheat straw pulp refers to the pulp that is produced from the fibrous residue left behind after wheat grains are harvested. Wheat straw is the stalk or stem of the wheat plant, which is typically considered agricultural waste after the grains have been removed.

To make wheat straw pulp, the straw is collected and processed through a pulping method, such as chemical pulping or mechanical pulping. Chemical pulping involves treating the straw with chemicals to break it down into fibers, while mechanical pulping uses mechanical force to separate and refine the fibers. The resulting pulp can then be used as a raw material for various paper and packaging products.

Wheat straw pulp is considered an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional wood pulp because it utilizes agricultural waste that would otherwise be burned or discarded. It reduces the pressure on forests as a source of fiber for the pulp and paper industry. Additionally, wheat straw pulp can have lower energy requirements and greenhouse gas emissions compared to wood pulp production.

COVID-19 Impact: Market to witness plunge in demand because of less need

The demand for paper and packaging materials has experienced fluctuations due to changing consumer behavior and economic uncertainties caused by the pandemic. While some sectors such as e-commerce packaging have witnessed increased demand, other segments like office paper have faced a decline. These fluctuations have influenced the demand for wheat straw pulp accordingly.
