Despite the current economic slowdown in the West and Japan, the global economy is expected to grow at a rate of 2.9 %/a in the long term. The long-term GDP growth will be fastest in China, Asia-Pacific and Eastern Europe including Russia (4-7 %/a), while in North America, Western Europe and Japan the growth is expected to remain at a much lower level (1.5-2.5 %/a). World demand for paper and paperboard is expected to grow at a rate of 2.2 %/a, reaching 453 million tons by the year 2015 (Fig. 1). Because of the above mentioned differences in economic growth, paper and pa- 1 Million tons Forecast 2 500 400 Rest of the World Latin America North America Nordic countries Rest of Asia Rest of W.

In relative terms, the paper industry will grow fastest in Eastern Europe (4.9 %/a), Asia excl. Japan (4.4 %/a) and Latin America (3.9 %/a). The main growth areas will be China/the rest of Asia accounting for 46 % of the projected global production growth through 2015. This means that, due to the non uniform growth of paper and paperboard production, the traditional supply areas such as North America and Western Europe will become gradually less important. However, these regions will continue to dominate the world paper industry, accounting for over 50 % of the global production by 2015. 0 20 40 60 Million tons 80 100 120
Fig. 3: Distribution of the World’s Forests by Major Ecological Zone. Boreal Temperate Subtropical Tropical World Fiber Sources for Paper Making Dependent on the climate (ecological zone), different wood species are available as a fiber source for paper making (Fig. 3). Paper maker distinguish between hardwood and softwood. The main virgin fiber sources in Western/ Eastern Europe and North America for paper making are spruce, fir, pine, beech, birch, oak and chest nut.

Mixed tropical hardwood (MTH) is used for paper production mainly in Asia, thanks to the regions huge forests. Because of its growing paper production, the region’s industry is facing new challenges in meeting its fibre needs, i.e. some local forest and other fibre resources are scarce. As a result, Asia, particularly China, will become increasingly dependent on imported fibre. Fig. 1: World Demand for Paper and Paperboard by Region 1980-2015. Fig. 2: Paper and Paperboard Production by Region 2000 and 2015. Fig. 4: World Consumption of Papermaking Fibre 1980-2015. 3 Mixed tropical hardwood is a generally accepted term referring to wood from natural tropical forests. The term refers to a specific characteristic of natural tropical forests, namely the large number of wood species. World Consumption of Papermaking Fibers Cost-cutting pressures are one of the main drivers of fiber mix changes in the paper industry, though there are many other factors involved, including paper quality requirements, changing mill and process requirements, pulp quality changes, increasing use of pigments/ fillers etc. In general, the share of mechanical/semi-chemical pulp is decreasing in all key paper industry product areas because of the growing use of recovered paper. 17/04
