Market Overview:
The global mechanical pulp market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for paperboard, coated and uncoated papers, tissue and towel, and specialty papers from end-use industries such as packaging, printing & publishing, and personal care. In terms of type, the hardwood mechanical pulp segment is expected to hold a larger share of the global mechanical pulp market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to factors such as superior properties offered by hardwood over softwood pulps and increasing demand for high-quality paper products from end-use industries.
Product Definition:
Mechanical pulps are made from processed wood fiber. They are used to make paper products such as tissue paper, facial tissues, toilet paper, and cardboard. Mechanical pulps are strong and absorbent, which makes them ideal for these types of products.
Hardwood Mechanical Pulp:
Hardwood mechanical pulp is a by-product obtained during the process of manufacturing hardwood plywood. It consists of cellulose fibers, hemicellulose and lignin.
Softwood Mechanical Pulp:
Softwood mechanical pulp is a by-product obtained during the manufacturing process of wood processing. It is also known as green wood pulp or virgin fiber, which is used in various end-use industries such as paper and textile. Softwood mechanical pulp has high demand due to its low cost and abundant availability across the globe. The growing environmental concerns regarding deforestation have resulted in increased softwood mechanical pulp consumption globally over the past few years.
Application Insights:
Paperboard was the largest application segment in 2017 and is projected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. The product offers high brightness, smoothness, and opacity which makes it suitable for papermaking. It is also used as a base material for making corrugated boards which are widely utilized in packaging applications.
The demand from tissue & towel manufacturing segment is expected to witness significant growth over the coming years owing to increasing consumer spending on personal hygiene products such as hand wash basins, bathroom fittings and tissues. In addition, rising demand for recycled papers with attributes similar to those of virgin materials will drive market growth further during the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is home to several emerging economies, including China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam. Increasing population coupled with rising living standards have spurred the demand for consumer goods such as furniture, bedding and toilet paper in this region. This has led to an increase in consumption of mechanical pulp products across various applications in packaging as well as printing industry.
The growth of online shopping has increased competition among manufacturers resulting into better prices for consumers across Asia Pacific countries like China and India; which are also major manufacturing hubs for packaged foods such as frozen meat, fish & seafood products along with cereals & snacks owing to increasing per capita income of people there.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from paper and pulp industry for high quality mechanical pulps.
- Rising demand from packaging and printing industries for specialty grades of mechanical pulps.
- Growing consumption of tissue papers in the hygiene sector across the globe.
- Increasing investments by paper manufacturers in state-of-the-art machinery to produce high quality mechanical pulps.
