Market Overview:
The global Southern Bleached Softwood Kraft (SBSK) market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period 2018-2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for SBSK from end-use applications such as fluff pulp, tissue paper, filter paper and others. In terms of type, the slash pine segment is projected to hold a major share in the global SBSK market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to factors such as high availability and low cost of slash pine compared with other types of pines used for manufacturing SBSK. North America dominates the global Southern Bleached Softwood Kraft (SBSK) market in terms of revenue followed by Europe and Asia Pacific respectively.
Product Definition:
Southern Bleached Softwood Kraft (SBSK) is a type of paper that is made from softwoods. It is bleached to make it white and then it is treated with a kraft pulp to make it strong. This type of paper is used for printing, writing, and packaging.
Slash Pine:
Slash pine is a softwood that is produced from Pinus elliottii, also known as the Elliott pine. It has a lower growth rate than regular pine but makes up for it in terms of durability and strength. The wood can be used to make furniture, musical instruments such as guitars and mandolins or it can be sold commercially to generate revenue for the tree farmers who own the land on which these trees grow.
Longleaf Pine:
Longleaf pine is the most valuable softwood timber species in the Southeast U.S. and is a major raw material used for manufacturing SBSK. It has been estimated that longleaf pine accounts for approximately 80% of the total wood fiber consumed in SBSK production, with white oak accounting for a significant share (15-20%) and shortleaf pine accounting for less than 15%.
Application Insights:
The fluff pulp application segment led the global southern bleached softwood kraft (SBSK) market in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. SBSK is majorly used for manufacturing of fluff pulp, which is subsequently utilized in various end-use industries such as tissue paper and paper towels.
Fluff pulp production requires a high proportion of wood fiber compared to other pulps, thus driving its demand from tissue paper manufacturers. In addition, increasing consumption of tissues in Japan owing to rising health concerns coupled with aging population will drive demand for SBSK-based fluff pulp over the forecast period.
Tissue papers are primarily manufactured by using wood fibers that have been extracted from decayed trees or bushes along with some additional chemicals.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising demand from key application industries, such as paper, textiles & fabrics, and construction. Asia Pacific is also projected to emerge as a lucrative market for southern bleached SBSK due to increasing awareness regarding sustainable wood production coupled with growing consumer disposable income levels in emerging economies of China and India.
The U.S., being one of the largest consumers of softwood lumber has stringent import rules for foreign producers that are different from those followed by domestic producers thus creating an opportunity for domestic bleaching companies based out of North America with lower labor costs than their Asian counterparts while delivering similar or better product quality at competitive prices thereby gaining significant market share over the next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from paper and pulp industry owing to the growth of packaging, printing, and publishing sectors.
- Growing consumption of SBSK in end-use applications such as corrugated boxes, sacks & bags, and other specialty papers.
- Rising investments by manufacturers in modernization of production facilities to cater to the growing demand for SBSK products globally.
- Proliferation of new applications for SBSK products in areas such as construction and automotive industries.
