Historical data on cut size and uncoated freesheet demand, imports, exports, and supply from 2000 for nearly every country in the world.
10 year forecast through 2031 including: demand, production, and trade by region
Competitive analysis including production costs and delivery costs to key consuming markets, as well as selected outlooks for pricing and profitability
Capacities and fiber mix by machines for every machine producing cut size in the world, and profiles of leading companies

Many producers have aggressively adapted to the “new normal”, resulting in fundamental changes to supply and demand dynamics and corporate strategy in key regions. Globally, however, intense cost inflation is exacerbating a looming oversupply, which means that more supply changes are coming. This Outlook helps you understand these dynamics at play and look ahead for your business plan.
