Factors Affecting the Growth of the Wood Pulp Industry:
The wood pulp market is under increased pressure to have and display permanent sourcing practices. Increasing awareness of the environment and the introduction of many regulations that are stricter are driving this change. Consumers and industry expect comparable levels of transparency and traceability all the way down the supply chain, and manufacturers are being forced to consider certifications like FSC (a management council) and PEFC (program for a certification). Also, there is now a trend towards circular economy principles that encourages the use of recycled fibers and the creation of closed loop production systems. In addition to increasing customer demand to reduce deforestation and impact on biodiversity, companies are starting to invest in permanent forest management practices including initiative for redistribution and forestry. Organizations that want to commit to durable and permanent procurement gain a competitive advantage, draw in more environmentally aware consumers, and help to ensure they'll have longer access to raw materials for producing products. The capacity to demonstrate a transparent, accountable commitment to stability is an important factor, both in protecting market share but also becoming an becoming an important factor in contributing to any development of the woodland mass movement - now and into the future. Clearly, this issue will only increase in importance over the forecast period.
A key market with steady growth in the demand for wood pulp is the dynamic packaging and tissue areas. The increase of e-commerce and the increasing demand for permanent packaging solutions leads to more mass-based materials by wood. The packaging applications made from cardboard and containerboard made from wood pulp are durable because of the biodegradability and recycling of cardboard and containerboard. Like the tissue area also has three large consumers in hygiene products, including tissue paper and wipes, new developments often lead to an increased demand for three large consumers. The growing population of the middle class in the emerging economies adds cotton to the growing demand for three mass wood products. Further, the developing three dedicated mass-based materials with wood, including biobased packaging and specialty applications, expand market applications. As consumers and companies are looking for alternatives for plastic packaging, wood pulp is positioned to play an important role in meeting the demand for durable and environmentally friendly solutions. This increasing demand from the packaging and tissue areas will be important demand drivers for three mass wood consumption.
The wood products industry is encountering a wave of technological and innovation changes that will improve market efficiencies, duplicate, environmental impacts and improve product quality. Progressive producers using green and yellow technologies allow for manufacturers to limit energy and water use, as well as limit chemical use. The movement towards bioprocessing also provides traction, offering the opportunity to produce biochemicals and the highly valuable fuel alternative from bioproducts made from wood pulp. In addition, digital technologies are improving optimization, such as automating and analyzing data production processes, material flow, and quality control. The emergence of specific tire products, which are related to specific final use applications spur innovation. This would include high-strength production mass for packaging and ultralight mass for wipes. The combination of nanotechnology and advanced material science allows for the creation of new products made from wood-based mass with advanced properties. These technical changes will advance competition from the wood products industry and will also eliminate the need for market-disrupting needs and potentially permanent solutions. This innovation will be constant and needed for the industry to remain competed.
