Paper and Pulp

The paper and pulp industry is facing diverse outlooks amid new trends. Whereas demand for paper-based information carriers continues to decline due to the digitalization of media, many sectors still rely heavily on paper and pulp. Still, output is steadily decreasing on the global market, making high manufacturing efficiency and quality more important than ever.

Foremost trends in the paper and pulp industry:

• Online retail is continuing to fuel an increase in demand for paper and other sustainable packaging solutions across diverse markets.
• Reducing the environmental impact, companies are developing innovative uses for by-products, engaging in waste-to-energy projects, and producing paper with higher recycled content to meet consumer demand.
• Raw materials such as bamboo, rice husk, hemp, and wheat straw are growing in market share for pulp production, increasing competition with wood-fiber in paper manufacturing.
• The industry is investing in digital manufacturing, AI, and other technologies to boost cost-effectiveness and enhance product quality, maintaining competitiveness amid market​ changes.
