Wood pulp, the essential ingredient for paper and a multitude of paper-based products, forms the foundation of a global market with a rich history dating back centuries. The history of wood pulp production is intertwined with the history of papermaking itself. The earliest known paper was developed in China around 200 AD using plant fibers, and the process eventually spread to other parts of the world. Over time, wood pulp emerged as a primary raw material for paper production, leading to the development of the modern wood pulp industry in the 19th century. Today, the global wood pulp market is a complex and multifaceted ecosystem. At its core are the forests, which provide the raw material – wood – for pulp production. These forests are managed by forestry companies and government agencies, and sustainable practices are increasingly important to ensure the long-term viability of the industry. The wood undergoes various pulping processes, which break down the wood chips or other plant materials into individual cellulose fibers. Different pulping methods, such as kraft, sulfite, and mechanical pulping, are employed depending on the desired properties of the final wood pulp product. Once produced, wood pulp is then delivered to paper mills, where it is transformed into a vast array of paper and paperboard products. These mills employ various processes to refine, bleach, and convert the wood pulp into paper sheets or boards with specific characteristics for their intended use. According to our publisher’s latest study, the global Wood Pulp market size was valued at US$ 62170 million in 2023. With growing demand in downstream market, the Wood Pulp is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 85570 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 4.7% during review period.
