Category Intelligence on Paper covers the following
Demand for North American and European Printing and Writing paper is expected to decrease by about 5 percent/year, due to the rapid development of the internet and e-commerce business models
Asia, LATAM, and MEA are the only regions witnessing positive growth in paper
In 2017, pulp witnessed a robust growth in the global demand as well as low pulp and paper inventories of Chinese paper and cardboard manufacturers, which, together with limited supply, created favorable conditions for price increase.
Raw material is one of the key cost drivers for paper. This is because it constitutes 60–65 percent of the total cost of production. In case of paper, the cost of procuring pulp is an essential element to determine the cost structure of different grades of paper.
According to the paper price forecast, supply-demand is one of the key and foremost drivers of price in the paper industry. Any increase/decrease in demand from the end-user segment will lead to manufacturers announcing price changes, even without any movement in the other costs.
The paper price forecast 2020 shows that supply disruptions like down time, mill closures by manufacturers or natural disasters would lead to shortages or a limited supply, attributing to price fluctuation. Similarly, reduced demand could lead to price declines.
China, being the major exporter of paper, has large demand for pulp which it generally procures from North/LATAM.
Surging penetration of the internet and smart gadgets has favored online retailing in emerging regions such as India, China, and Brazil. Consumers are turning to digital channels for purchasing food, cosmetics, and groceries. Paper packaging is lightweight and convenient for logistics and transportation. As such, with the rapid growth of e-commerce, the demand for paper bags and corrugated boxes will increase over the projection period.
Demand for Eco-friendly Products
Paper is the most recyclable and sustainable product at present. Considering the increasing environmental concerns, both consumers and market players are turning to more sustainable paper packaging solutions. Prominent cosmetics, FMCG, and food companies are in constant touch with paper producers to develop advanced paper packaging solutions to meet their sustainability goals.
Constraints
As per the paper market report, paper manufacturing requires a considerable amount of wood from forests. Also, regional governments have enacted stringent norms on sourcing wood from the forests. Moreover, paper is one of the largest water-consuming industries. For instance, producing an A4-size paper consumes 20 liters of water.
Despite the nationwide lockdowns and subsequent supply chain disruptions amid the COVID-19 pandemic, prominent tissue paper producers are striving to fulfill the increasing need for tissue papers from healthcare institutes. In addition, the paper industry analysis suggests that the pandemic is offering new avenues to produce antimicrobial tissues that can be efficiently utilized to combat the COVID-19 contagion.
Raw Material Cost
Labor Cost
Energy and Chemical Cost
Utility costs including electricity, maintenance, fuel, and other related costs which directly impact the cost of production. This is considered to be the driver as these costs are added to the total cost in order to determine the overall cost of production. Though these are considered to be the variable cost, it has enough effect on the spend of the company for producing the product.
