The raw products of traditional paper users

In terms of products, according to the data of the China Paper Association, the raw products of traditional paper users, such as newsprint and printing paper, have experienced a double decline in production and consumption for several consecutive years. In particular, newsprint, as the first major category, has only 4 companies with an annual output of more than 100,000 tons, and has rapidly shrunk.

The import of boxboard was about 1.8 million tons, an increase of about 30%. Among these categories, Chinese companies have huge space to replace imports with domestically produced ones.
