Pulp and Paper

The global paper industry was valued at $518+ billion in 2020 and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.45% until 2027.

Companies in this sector face inconsistent energy costs, increasing raw material costs, a tough regulatory environment, and weak demand for commodity paper products (other than sanitary tissue). This constellation of circumstances is driving M&A activity in this segment- especially among container board/packaging companies.
