Multiple factors
Remain in place for a positive outlook for the P&P industry
1 | An economic slowdown and destocking from North America and Europe affected |
demand in those regions from more cyclical end use segments such as P&W and | |
Decór. We see improvements in the last months of 2023 and into 2024. | |
2 | China's demand for pulp accelerated since the 2Q23 to end the year with an |
impressive annual increase in demand in the 20%-30% range. We see a more | |
normalised year in 2024, with lower restocking effect from post-Covid. Global pulp | |
demand should continue to grow in 2024 with Europe and NA as main drivers and | |
China in a normalisation year. | |
3 | Inventories at European Ports have been decreasing since Sept and reached year |
lows of 1.2m in Nov, below the estimated equilibrium level near 1.5m. Some | |
volumes were redirected to Asia during 2023 and European demand recovery | |
taking place with a lower level of inventories. | |
4 | The new capacity from LatAm players started to arrive at the market in mid-2023. |
The Chinese market has absorbed the new capacity given the organic market | |
growth, restocking and market pulp purchases by high-cost integrated players. | |
5 | High growth segments such as textiles and paper packaging, should continue to |
bolster market growth prospects. | |
