In 2023, Indonesia led the global export market for felt paper and paperboard in terms of value, accounting for a significant portion of the market. The United States and Japan followed, although both countries saw declines in their export values. Positive growth was noted in countries like China, Belgium, and Spain, indicating potential emerging markets. Meanwhile, traditional strongholds like Canada, Italy, and the United Kingdom experienced notable declines. Over the last five years, some markets have shown significant fluctuation, revealing volatility in global demand and opportunities for niche markets to emerge.
Future trends to watch include the impact of sustainable products on the industry and potential shifts in leading exporting countries due to economic and environmental policies. Increasing demand for recyclable materials could also reshape global dynamics, favoring countries investing in green technologies. Collaboration across the supply chain to foster resilience and adaptability will be vital for maintaining competitiveness in this changing landscape.
