The paper pulp industry in 2024 has been greatly affected by the overall economic climate and economic policies. Traditional industries have been significantly impacted by China's economic stagnation and production oversupply, leading to weaker than expected economic recovery momentum. The paper pulp industry has been similarly affected. Looking back on pulp prices for the first half of 2024, pulp prices rose steadily due to strong support from declining costs and a reduction in labor strikes. However, in the second half of the year the weak global economy and sluggish demand for final consumer products, along with the news that China and South Africa will gradually add millions of tons of new pulp production capacity, led to decreased market confidence and a price decline in the traditional off-season, with prices only stabilizing during the peak season in December. Looking ahead to 2025, supply and demand in the pulp market will remain being affected by factors such as raw materials, energy resources, labor, and transportation. However, as countries around the world continue to increase consumption demand and stabilize economic growth, and as global interest rates cuts take place, there is hope for demand in the pulp industry to stabilize. Nevertheless, the challenge of how to adapt to changing product demand in the consumer market remains.
Additionally, as international environmental policies become stricter and businesses and consumers become more environmentally-conscious, pulp and paper products increasingly need to be made from sustainable wood fibers. Chung Hua Pulp Corporation will put a greater focus on the development of environmentally-friendly products and promote energy conservation, carbon reduction, and environmental-friendliness throughout the production process. In the future, we will develop in an increasingly green and low carbon direction, in order to overcome the challenges of establishing a complete green manufacturing system.
綜觀 2024 年漿紙市場受經濟景氣和政策影響甚大，傳統產業嚴重受到中國經濟停滯以及產能過剩的影響，回升動能不如預期，漿紙產業的情勢亦同。回顧 2024 上半年紙漿價格，因漿廠受成本壓力、罷工減量等因素強勢支撐價格，使漿紙價格能穩定上漲，但下半年全球景氣疲弱、終端需求不振等影響，又遇中國及南美陸續有新產能百萬噸的投產訊息，導致市場信心不足，於傳統淡季時轉跌，至 12 月旺季方有止跌回穩。展望 2025 年，漿紙市場供需仍受到原材料、能源、勞力、運輸等等影響，但各國持續加強消費力道、穩定經濟成長以及全球降息題材，漿紙產業需求有望回穩，惟須面對難題是如何因應消費市場對於產品需求的轉變。此外，隨著國際環保政策加強和企業與消費者的環保意識提高，漿、紙產品是來自永續木材纖維組成，中華紙漿將更加注重環保產品發展，推動製程節能減碳和環境友好，未來朝綠色低碳方向發展，以完善綠色製造體系的挑戰。
