The global Photographic Paper market size was US$ 652 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 610 million by 2031 with a CAGR of -1.0% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Photographic paper is a paper coated with a light-sensitive chemical formula, like photographic film, used for making photographic prints. When photographic paper is exposed to light, it captures a latent image that is then developed to form a visible image; with most papers the image density from exposure can be sufficient to not require further development, aside from fixing and clearing, though latent exposure is also usually present.
