Understanding the Market Challenges

The paper industry today faces a unique set of challenges:

• Rising energy and raw material costs
• Pressure to reduce carbon emissions
• Aging infrastructure and workforce
• Demand for higher product quality and customization
• Need for real-time decision-making and predictive maintenance

Regionally, the European market is grappling with economic uncertainty, high energy costs, and fluctuating demand for containerboard and cartonboard.

In Brazil and Mexico, regulatory changes and currency fluctuations are reshaping cost structures and trade flows.

Asia’s paper sector is facing oversupply, declining prices, and weak demand due to the ongoing trade war.

The North American pulp and paper industry is undergoing a significant transformation as it races to meet evolving market demands of higher-quality products at lower costs. Compounding the challenge is an aging workforce that is resulting in a lack of expertise to support these increased requirements.
