Simultaneously, pulp prices hit record highs, recovered paper import bans by China and spiking sea freight costs had a deep impact on global commodity and finished product markets. Enormous fiscal stimulus washed into the Australian and New Zealand economies, changing what was consumed, by whom and in what quantities.
Patterns of consumption are altered forever, markets will never be the same and businesses the world over are struggling to survive, let alone thrive.
The annual Pulp & Paper Strategic Review from IndustryEdge charts the course, bumps and all, providing detailed analysis, granular data and rich insights into the trends and future impacting the entire paper, paperboard, paper products, pulp and fibre supplies industries.
