Global Pulp and Paper Market to reach USD XXX billion by 2025.

Global Pulp and Paper Market valued approximately USD XX billion in 2017 is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than XXX% over the forecast period 2017-2025. Pulp and paper producers produces and sells cellulose-based products, derived from wood. Packaging paper, graphic paper and hygienic paper are the major product groups of this industry. Although China is the world's leading country when it comes to paper and paperboard production, the international pulp and paper market is dominated by companies from North America, northern Europe and Japan. Some 400 million metric tons of paper and cardboard are produced worldwide every year, with China being responsible for around one quarter of the total production. The industry is dominated by International Paper and Kimberly-Clark from the United States, Stora Enso and UPM-Kymmene from Finland, and Oji Paper and Nippon Paper Group from Japan. It is estimated that the top 20 companies generate some 40 percent of the total global paper and paperboard production.

The pulp and paper industry has been criticized by environmental groups like the Natural Resources Defense Council for unsustainable deforestation and clearcutting of old-growth forest. The industry trend is to expand globally to countries like Russia, China and Indonesia with low wages and low environmental oversight. According to Greenpeace, farmers in Central America illegally rip up vast tracts of native forest for cattle and soybean production without any consequences and companies who buy timber from private land owners contribute to massive deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest. On the other hand the situation is quite different where forest growth has been on the increase for a number of years. It is estimated for instance that since 1990 forests have grown in Europe by a size equivalent to that of Switzerland (44,160 KM) which has been supported through the practice of sustainable forest management by the industry. In Sweden, for every tree that is felled, two are planted.
