Global Non-Wood Pulp Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Non-wood pulp is extracted from non-lignocellulosic plant material and can be made into non-wood paper. The most widely used Non-Wood for papermaking are straws, sugar cane bagasse, bamboo, kenaf, hemp, jute, sisal, abaca, cotton linters, and reeds

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Non-Wood Pulp market finds that the global Non-Wood Pulp market reached a value of USD 14595.13 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 16817.19 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 2.39% during the forecast period.

Impacts from the short-term

Affected by COVID-19, the Non-Wood Pulp industry has been in a supply chain interruption problem, first of all, the inbound logistics of various countries, and then reverberated outwards, causing bottlenecks in the entire supply chain, limiting the availability of shipping containers and improving transportation cost. As China is an important part of the global market, its difficulties will reverberate around the world, and supply chain bottlenecks are slowing down the delivery of final products to consumers and ports Non-Wood Pulp. The weak demand recovery in the Non-Wood Pulp industry and the sluggish economic conditions in the US and Europe may postpone any meaningful recovery in the Non-Wood Pulp market until the second half of the year.

Impacts from the long-term

Due to the slow recovery of logistics, Non-Wood Pulp Company relies on long-term orders and port spot to maintain normal production. Manufacturers have little willingness to purchase spot, and prices have gradually stabilized. This has a positive impact on the development of the Non-Wood Pulp market. In the long run, Non-Wood Pulp must have its own core competitiveness to survive, such as products, channels, marketing, management, technology, cost advantages, etc.

India's demand for various papers is increasing rapidly

India’s demand for various papers is increasing rapidly, but the forest resources available for development and utilization are very insufficient, and there is still resistance to planting fast-growing tree species. In India, it is often dependent on agricultural activities to survive, and it is difficult to convince farmers to wait patiently for a long time for these tree species to grow and produce benefits. One solution is to use agricultural residues such as banana residue, rice straw and other by-products of annual grain crops for pulping and papermaking. This has promoted the development of the local non-wood pulp market.

Storage problem

The storage of non-wood pulp raw materials is a problem. If the storage of non-wood pulp fibers is not good, it is impossible to mix paper grades with stable quality. Non-wood pulp fibers will change color if stored poorly. Sometimes the pile of non-wood pulp fibers will catch fire, and in a few hours, thousands of tons of raw materials will be burned, so that the factory will be shut down to the next quarter, or it may be shut down throughout the year, such a situation is not uncommon.

Scale of non-wood pulping-further expansion

The theory of economies of scale shows that production scale is closely related to modern equipment and technology, automation level, labor productivity, environmental pollution control, and enterprise management level. In order to ensure that non-wood pulp has strong international competitiveness, expand production scale, and form a larger scale will become the development direction of non-wood pulp and paper enterprises.

Segmentation Overview:

By type, Straw pulp segment accounted for the largest share of market in 2022.

Straw Pulp

Straw pulp is made from grasses (usually straw, wheat straw etc.) and is prepared by caustic soda method, sulfate method, neutral sulfite method or chlorination method. Generally, contains more hemicellulose, easy to beat and sizing.

Bamboo Pulp

Bamboo pulp is a kind of paper pulp. It is made from bamboo materials such as Phyllostachys pubescens, Nanzhu, and Cizhu, and is usually produced by the sulfate method and the caustic soda method. The fiber morphology and length are between wood fibers and grass fibers.

Hemp Pulp

Hemp Pulp is generic term for pulp made from hemp fibers. Papermaking generally does not use raw hemp, but uses all kinds of hemp waste, such as hemp head, old hemp rope, waste hemp sack, etc. Hemp pulp is suitable for making all kinds of high-grade paper and industrial technology paper, such as banknote paper, cigarette paper, etc.

Cotton Pulp

Cotton pulp is a kind of paper pulp. It is made from caustic soda by using waste cotton and cotton linters from the textile industry as raw materials. Cotton pulp contains pure cellulose. The fiber is slender and elastic, tough and durable, and has good absorption.

Application Overview:

The market's largest segment by application is the segment Tissue paper, with a market share of 67.62% in 2022.

Tissue paper

Non-wood pulp tissue paper can use different materials. They are often a mixture of bagasse (a by-product of sucrose extraction) and bamboo, which can make the best paper on the market because it has softer and faster fiber than most recycled paper products.

Book paper

Book paper is paper for people to write, and it is usually used to print various writing books. Non-wood pulp book paper refers to paper products produced from paper-making raw materials other than wood. It is relatively environmentally friendly, and its fibers are slender and tough.
