Thermal paper, or audit roll, is a specialty paper that is coated with a mixture of bisphenol A (BPA) and developer chemicals that reacts to heat, causing the paper to darken on heat exposure. The printer heats tiny dots on the paper to create a sharp, clear image or text resistant to smudging and fading. Thermal paper is widely used in lightweight devices, such as point-of-sale (POS) systems, casinos, fax, credit card terminals, cash registers, kiosks, pay-at-the-pump, and mobile printers for printing receipts, tickets, and labels. It is marketed in a variety of sizes, colors, and thicknesses, depending on the application. Thermal paper is also available in water-resistant or fade-resistant variants, making it ideal for outdoor use or long-term storage.

Thermal Paper Market Trends:

The widespread adoption of point-of-sale (POS) systems across the thriving retail sector represents the primary factor driving the market growth. In line with this, increasing product utilization in grocery stores, shopping malls, gas stations, catering, gaming arenas, lottery systems, coffee shops, and bakery stores for printing labels, tickets, and receipts is creating a favorable outlook for the market. Moreover, the growing demand for online food-ordering services due to hectic lifestyles, changing dietary habits, and the inflating disposable income of individuals is strengthening the market growth. Concurrent with this, the large-scale product employment across the flourishing e-commerce industry for printing shipping labels and other thermal paper products used in the logistics sector is presenting remunerative growth opportunities for the market. Besides this, the surging product demand from the expanding healthcare industry for printing patient identification wristbands, prescription labels, and other medical records is contributing to the market growth. In addition to this, the implementation of favorable government regulations mandating the use of bisphenol A (BPA) free thermal paper is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, innovative advancements in thermal printing technology, allowing printers to generate higher-quality prints at faster speeds, are fuelling the demand for thermal papers. Other factors, including the widespread product utilization in portable POS machines to issue parking tickets, significant growth in the e-commerce industry, and enhanced research and development (R&D) activities to develop advanced thermal printing technologies that use lower levels of heat, are supporting the market growth.
