As per the studies of the World Health Organization (WHO), “in 2018, 1.337 billion people, including 43 million in the age group of 13–15, used tobacco in 2018, as a measure to deal with their social and physical environment, personal views, deteriorating mental health, and peer pressure”. The growing consumption of tobacco is subsequently boosting the requirement for packaging materials. The increasing popularity of e-cigarettes is another important factor pushing up the sales of tobacco packaging materials all over the world.

Due to the above-mentioned factors, the global tobacco packaging market reached a valuation of $19,134.6 million in 2019 and is expected to progress at a CAGR of 3.7% between 2020 and 2030. Plastics, metals, wood, and paper are the most widely used types of tobacco packaging materials. Amongst these, paper will experience the highest usage in the coming years. This is because people usually prefer using paper for packaging cigarettes over the other materials. Moreover, cigarettes are the most heavily consumed tobacco-based products all over the world.
