Earlier Report Observations

The Croatian envelopes market experienced a gradual contraction in physical volume from 2 518 tonnes in 2018 to 2 072 tonnes in 2021, while its value fluctuated between 6.3 million US dollars and 6.2 million US dollars. During this period, the broader consumption of packaging paper in the country remained significant, indicating a sustained underlying interest in paper products despite digitalization trends.

After a rebound to 2 198 tonnes and a value of 7.3 million US dollars in 2022, the market volume fell sharply to 1 893 tonnes in 2023. It recovered to 2 089 tonnes and 6.9 million US dollars in 2024, a year marked by new EU regulations on construction product safety and shifts in producer price indices for building materials, factors which could indirectly influence production costs for paper-based industries.
