In terms of value, the watermark segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2018 to 2023.

The watermark segment of the security paper market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, in terms of value. The growth of this segment is attributed to the increased used in security papers, particularly in postage stamps, currency, and other security documents. Watermarks mainly comprise two types, visible watermark and invisible watermark. A visible watermark is a semi-transparent text or image overlaid on the original image. It allows the original image to be viewed, but it still provides copyright protection by marking the image as its owner’s property. An invisible watermark is an embedded image, which cannot be perceived with human eyes. Only electronic devices or specialized software can extract the hidden information to identify the copyright owner.

In terms of value and volume, the bank notes segment is estimated to lead the security paper market in 2018.

Bank notes, one of the major applications of security paper, is generally manufactured from cotton-fiber paper, polymer, or hybrid paper. This makes banknotes more security and resistant to wear and tear compared to common paper. Nowadays, special types of polymers are used for manufacturing banknotes, as they have better shelf life than paper notes and are resistant to fire and water. To prevent counterfeiting, the government of each country incorporates numerous security features in banknotes. Watermarks, holograms, security threads, intaglio printing, and inks are some of the security features that are inserted in banknotes during the manufacturing process. The constant printing, circulation, and reprinting of banknotes, coupled with the rise in a number of cases of counterfeited notes, are projected to drive the demand for security papers for banknotes.
