The global wood pulp market was valued at $165.3 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $242.1 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2021 to 2030.
Disruptions in supply chain caused due to the lockdown measures has severely hampered the imports of the raw materials for the manufacturing processes as well as exports of the finished products of various packaging and paper products, which has negative impact on the global wood pulp market.
Wood that has been crushed to a fine pulp for use in the manufacturing of newspaper and other low-cost papers as well as hardboard is known as wood pulp. There are two ways of making wood pulp, which include chemical pulping and mechanical pulping. In chemical pulping, wood chips (from trees) are cooked using a chemical process in essentially a pressure cooker known as a digester. Finely pulped wood is been digested by a chemical, such as caustic soda and sometimes bleached. Whereas, in mechanical pulping the pulp is created through grinding wood chips instead of cooking them. Wood pulp is a versatile material used for a wide variety of products. The four most common applications for wood pulp are tissue, printing & writing papers, board, and specialty papers.
Rise in use of pulp in the paper manufacturing industry boosts the global market growth. The use of wooden pulp in the manufacturing of furniture and production of soft pieces used in the residential sector further fuel the growth of the market. In addition, rise in global demand for tissue paper, which is majorly used in kitchens, toilets, and households, is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. However, implementation of stringent environmental regulations regarding deforestation is anticipated to negatively impact the growth of the market for wood pulp in the coming years.
The global wood pulp market is segmented on the basis of type, end-use industry, and region. On the basis of type, the global wood pulp market is segmented into softwood and hardwood. The end-use industry of wood pulp include packaging (food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal care & cosmetics, automotive and others), paper (newspaper, books & magazines, tissues, and others), and others. On the basis of region, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Presently, Asia-Pacific accounts for the largest share of the market, followed by North America and Europe.
Major players operating in the global wood pulp market include International Paper, Metsä Group, Nippon Paper, Oji Holdings Corporation, Sappi, Sonoco Products, Stora Enso, Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget, UPM-Kymmene Corporation, and WestRock.
The hardwood segment accounted for the largest share in 2020, and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period.
The packaging segment accounted for the largest share of the wood pulp market in 2020. The global wood pulp market is majorly driven by the use of wood pulp in the production of various kinds of packaging materials for use in different end-use industries.
The Asia-Pacific region accounted for a maximum share in the global wood pulp market in 2020. With growing population and disposable income, the need for paper-based print media is anticipated to drive the demand for wood pulp in the region.
