Global Semi Chemical Wood Pulp Market
The pulp is defined as the lignocellulosic fibrous material that is prepared by chemically or mechanically separating the cellulose fibres from wood or waste paper. There are various ways of manufacturing wood pulp; mechanical methods, chemical methods. Chemical pulping uses various chemicals to separate cellulose from lignin. The wood pulp thus created provides very high quality paper. The different types of chemical pulping methods are kraft, sulfite, and semi chemical pulping methods.

Report Description<br />
The pulp is defined as the lignocellulosic fibrous material that is prepared by chemically or<br />
mechanically separating the cellulose fibres from wood or waste paper. There are various ways<br />
of manufacturing wood pulp; mechanical methods, chemical methods. <strong>Chemical</strong> pulping uses<br />
various chemicals to separate cellulose from lignin. The wood pulp thus created provides very<br />
high quality paper. The different types of chemical pulping methods are kraft, sulfite, and semi<br />
chemical pulping methods. The semi chemical wood pulping method is cooking the wood chips<br />
in solutions that are neutral. These solutions include sodium sulfite and sodium hydroxide or<br />
sodium carbonate solutions. In addition to the chemical process, refining using mechanical<br />
process is also used to separate the fibres. Out of the total pulp produced using chemical<br />
method, over 5% constitutes of semi chemical methods. Moreover, the global semi chemical<br />
wood pulp market is expected to exhibit a moderate single digit growth in the forecast period.<br />
<strong>Semi</strong> chemical <strong>Wood</strong> <strong>Pulp</strong> <strong>Market</strong>: Drivers and Restraints<br />
The major factor that is expected to drive the global semi chemical wood pulp market is the cost<br />
factor. The cost of semi chemical wood pulp is lesser than the any other chemical process. Also,<br />
the competitive advantages over other methods include strength of strength of fibres, yield of<br />
pulp and quality. These factors are anticipated to drive the global semi chemical wood pulp<br />
market in the upcoming years.<br />
One of the major factors affecting the growth of semi chemical wood pulp market is the<br />
stringent regulations pertaining to the harvesting of trees worldwide. Moreover, the regulations
