The EMGE forecast shows a step down in global paper demand spanning 2008 and 2009, not unlike the slump seen in 2001-2003, following the dot.com crash. The steepest falls in demand in the short term are predicted in the Developed regions, and although we are forecasting a worldwide recovery in 2012 and 2013, long-term demand trends in Western Europe, North America and Japan are not expected to recover all of the short-term losses.
