The import of semi-chemical wood pulp to Indonesia has exhibited fluctuations over the past decade. In 2023, the volume stood at 51.789 million kilograms. There was a notable decline between 2013 and 2015, an increase in 2016, followed by another dip from 2017 to 2020. Recently, from 2021 to 2023, the volume has remained relatively stable, with minor variations around the 52 million kilogram mark.
The year-on-year variations for the last two years were slight, with a -0.48% change each year. The last 5-year CAGR indicates a negligible average annual decrease of -0.91%.
Future trends to watch for:
• Continued stability in import volumes with slight annual declines forecasted through 2028.
• Potential for market influences such as global supply chain disruptions or shifts in domestic production capabilities to impact import needs.
