In 2023, China dominated the global import market for pulp of wood and fibrous cellulosic material, accounting for over 42% of imports by value. Germany, the United States, and India also showed strong presence, together comprising nearly 18%. Notable year-on-year growth featured in Romania and Albania, with notable declines in Brazil and Switzerland. Over the last five years, China's average annual growth stands substantial, with countries like Botswana and Seychelles witnessing dramatic increases albeit from smaller bases.
Looking ahead, anticipate continued Chinese dominance, with potential growth in emerging markets such as Romania and Nigeria, driven by industrial demands. Sustainable sourcing trends and geopolitical factors might impact future distributions.
