Paper

The industry has long been characterized by overcapacity and low profitability, leading to intense competition. Capacity consolidations, along with mergers and acquisitions, are the driving forces of today's markets. Demand for a lot of paper grades is stagnating or declining, especially in the printing grades. Increasing costs of energy and increasing pulp prices are putting additional pressure on the profitability of the industry.
