The latest research study on the global Pulp and Paper market finds that the global Pulp and Paper market reached a value of USD 347198.61 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 361391.88 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 0.67% during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact on Trade Promotion Optimization Industry

The world's leading pulp companies are mainly from Canada, Brazil, Chile, Finland, etc., due to cost, strikes in South Africa, the epidemic and other reasons, the global pulp supply is facing challenges. According to our incomplete statistics, it is estimated that the supply of wood pulp will be reduced by about 1.2 million tons in 20 years, of which the production of hardwood pulp will be reduced by about 650,000 tons, and the production of softwood pulp will be reduced by about 550,000 tons.

Canada: The main supplier of softwood pulp. Pulp companies are mainly affected by the new crown epidemic and the shortage of wood chips. The two factors have a knock-on effect, and the total output is about 500,000 tons.

Brazil: The main supplier of hardwood pulp. Due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, some pulp mills that should have been suspended for maintenance in the first and second quarters have postponed their maintenance to the third and fourth quarters. As a result, more than ten companies such as Guaíba II and Aracruz Mill A under Suzano have appeared. The centralized maintenance of pulp mills affects the output of about 400,000 tons in total.

Chile: Affected by multiple factors such as drought, the new crown epidemic, and maintenance, the total pulp output is about 150,000 tons.

In addition, a number of pulp mills in Europe and the United States have also been forced to suspend production due to the epidemic, which is expected to affect the total pulp output of about 150,000 tons.

Strength

Whether it is used as a carrier for writing records or as a daily necessity in life, paper has already become an indispensable part of human daily life and production. It is foreseeable that in a long period of time in the future, paper still plays an important role in human production and life. As a raw material for paper products, pulp is also very important. Pulp production capacity and output will have a little impact on human economic production activities.

Weakness

As a carrier of human production activities, paper itself is very fragile. This is determined by the chemical and physical properties of the paper product itself. Compared with other recording methods, the fragility of paper will affect its function. Changes in demand for paper products will directly affect the development of the pulp industry.

Opportunities

With the development of new materials science and the increasing emphasis on environmental protection, environmentally friendly and sustainable pulp has been loved and valued by people. In addition, the advancement of pulp processing technology has also made paper overcome the original defects to a certain extent, making paper products more widely used in life and work production.

Threat

The development of electronic information technology has greatly reduced the frequency of use of information recorded in paper products. At the same time, the rise of environmental awareness and the development of technology are also constantly reducing the frequency of people's daily paper use.
