Recently, paper enterprises have announced price increases, involving cultural paper, cardboard, household paper and other types. Why do many types of paper collectively raise prices?
"Wood pulp is the price rise of downstream products. The biggest driving factor is that the price of upstream wood pulp continues to be high." Yin Ting, an analyst at Zhuo Chuang information, told Zhongxin finance and economics that although energy price is an influencing factor, according to the recent monitoring, the impact of energy price increase on the market is not particularly large, and the cost increase is mainly concentrated in slurry.
"The Chinese market is highly dependent on the import of pulp, and the import dependence of wood pulp is more than 60%. In particular, coniferous pulp is basically imported." Yin Ting said that the maintenance and other dynamics of some foreign pulp mills will affect the supply and transmit to China, which will lead to the rise of pulp prices.
How will the paper price follow?
The price increase letters from major paper enterprises came like snowflakes, which also made people worry that the subsequent paper prices will go higher and higher.
In fact, since the end of last year, the price of pulp has been rising, and now it is still at a high level. Our best-selling Hygienic Products, such as Diapers, Sanitary Napkin and Under Pad, also face some challenges in quotation because the main material contains wood pulp. Of course, on the basis of ensuring quality, it has always been our purpose to give the most affordable price to our long-term customers.
I hope this wave of rising pulp prices will pass as soon as possible.
