Manufacturers in the Pulp, Paper and Paperboard Manufacturing industry have encountered tough conditions in recent years. Falling demand from significant downstream markets has dragged down manufacturers’ earnings. The most notable revenue decline has come from the newspaper and print media publishing sphere. To cope, manufacturers have initiated measures aimed at cost control, featuring staff layoffs and the closure of unprofitable production mills to minimise unused capacity. However, there’s been a silver lining in the rise of demand from online retailers and food manufacturers, which has boosted the need for industry-manufactured products like local paperboard. Despite that fact, industry revenue is projected to contract at an annualised 3.3% over the five years through 2023-24, bottoming out at $3.2 billion. This trend includes an estimated rise of 4.3% in 2023-24, as manufacturers who export are set to benefit from international demand because of a weak dollar and enhancements in supply chains following the pandemic.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 3.3 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $3.2bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
