World Paper Industry Market Overview
Printing and writing paper sectors are currently facing significant structural declines in demand globally. This is compounded by increased costs (and prices), which has had a severe knock-on impact on the market place. Other factors that are noticeable include:
- Print publishing industry: This has especially affected publishers and printers, who have been grappling with falling circulation figures as a consequence of digital transformation.
- Paper mill diversification: A consequence of these trends is a number of paper mills in Western regions, specifically the American and European markets, are increasingly looking to diversify or convert their paper production to meet these new challenges, leading to a lack of mills and choice for some Graphic Paper products.
- Global paper trends: This divergence is reflected in production trends, with Uncoated Woodfree paper output increasing in China while simultaneously declining in Western markets such as North America and Europe, ultimately resulting in lower Mill Operating Rates as the industry adjusts to a new, reduced “normal” level of demand.
