Our forecast for 2026 indicates continued flux and uncertainty in the global Newsprint market. While the structural decline in Western European demand is expected to continue, the sector additionally faces a ‘perfect storm’ of challenges defined by these trends:

• Global Newsprint Demand: The industry continues to navigate the accelerating digital transformation, which impacts consumption volumes, and with the rate of decline in mature markets reaching critical levels.
• EUDR & Regulatory Compliance: The enforcement of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), combined with shifting international tariffs, is set to complicate sourcing strategies and drive price volatility. Decisions and implementation are still being negotiated!
• Mill Closures & Capacity: As producers attempt to adjust capacity to match demand realities, ongoing mill closures are shrinking the pool of suppliers, influencing regional availability and creating new procurement challenges.
