Top impacting factors: market scenario analysis, trends, drivers, and impact analysis
The use of wood pulp in the manufacturing of furniture and the production of soft pieces used in the residential sector has given impetus to the growth of the market.
The rising global demand for tissue paper, which is mainly used in kitchens, toilets, and households, is expected to drive the market growth of the wood Pulp market over the forecast period.
Strict environmental regulations regarding plantation of trees at a global level, however, could affect the growth of the market for wood pulp in the coming years. Shortly, the growth of the wood pulp market could also be limited in terms of deforestation and increasing energy and transportation costs.
The global market trends are as follows:
- Many leading fast-food chains serve items containing pulp made from wood. In shredded cheese, fish fillet patties, sausages, tortillas, onion rings, pancakes, and even milkshakes wood pulp additives are often present. Cellulose adds texture, thickens and stabilizes food with complementary chemicals-and is safe for human consumption. Without this, the ice cream would melt more quickly.
- Some bath towels are made from a wood pulp by-product known as rayon. Rayon is highly absorbent, soft, and comfortable on the skin but does not insulate heat from the body – ideal for use in hot and humid climates. Wet wipes are also frequently made with rayon, as it allows each sheet to hold liquid disinfectant while maintaining its texture and form.
- The increasing demand for wood pulp-based packaging is estimated to create significant pressure for supply chains in the pulp industry. Furthermore, the growing backlash against plastic consumption has brought wood pulp-based packaging into the spotlight where products such as paper and paperboard have a major stake in the global market for pulp.
Potential market
Canada is the world's largest producer of wood pulp due to the presence of coniferous forests which provide the paper industry with raw material. Due to rising production costs and increased competition from pulp and paper producers, few Canadian paper mills faced challenges, resulting in conversions and ending of pulp and paper mills.
