India Thermal Paper Market Trends:

Growing Demand Due to Digital Payments and POS Expansion

The India thermal paper market growth benefits from rapid digital transformation because retail outlets banking institutions and hospitality services adopt point-of-sale (POS) systems. For instance, in 2023, the Indian government announced plans to install 5 million POS devices in rural areas by 2025, aiming to promote digital payments, thereby increasing the demand for thermal paper in these regions. In addition to this, the government-backed UPI, Aadhaar-enabled payment systems, and e-wallet initiatives encourage businesses to invest in innovative billing and receipt solutions. Moreover, the retail industry and its sub-sectors of supermarkets and convenience stores as well as e-commerce depend on thermal paper for bill generation and order management. Besides this, the logistics and transportation industries depend on thermal receipts to create shipping labels which helps expand their market demand. Also, the growth of the bank automation market through ATM receipts and transaction record management drives a significant market expansion. Furthermore, thermal printing remains integrated into business operations by companies that want to provide convenient and efficient services to customers through mobile and contactless payment options. As a result, the expanding usage of digital transactions creates ongoing market demand for thermal paper despite the development of paperless solutions in specific fields, which is enhancing the India thermal paper market outlook.

Rising Focus on Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Alternatives

The India thermal paper market is moving toward environmentally friendly and BPA-free thermal paper products as environmental concerns grow stronger. In line with this, the traditional thermal paper incorporates the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) which faces health and environmental challenges that prompted worldwide regulatory actions. Concurrently, the market demands have prompted manufacturers to create BPA-free and phenol-free alternatives that both satisfy global sustainability requirements and respond to consumers seeking eco-friendly products. Additionally, the growing market interest includes thermal paper that can be both recycled and compostable because it helps businesses meet their sustainability targets. Furthermore, electronic receipts combined with QR code transactions represent a business strategy to reduce paper usage. Also, sustainable manufacturing practices and waste management policies from the government lead to new innovative developments across the industry. For example, at PaperTech 2024, the Indian Paper Manufacturers Association (IPMA) highlighted the industry's dedication to reducing its carbon footprint through clean technologies. Integrated mills have significantly reduced water usage, from 200 cubic meters to under 50 cubic meters per tonne of paper, showcasing a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. Apart from this, the expanding market demand for eco-friendly thermal paper technologies is giving companies a competitive advantage in India's developing business arena, thus boosting the India thermal paper market share.
