In the latest market study, Fact.MR provides comprehensive analysis on the key factors influencing the growth in global softwood pulp market for the upcoming decade. The study also provides detailed insights on the key trends and drivers affecting the sales across multiple segments including source, type, application, and regions.
NEW YORK, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Demand in the global softwood pulp market is projected to exceed US$ 24.74 Bn in 2022, exhibiting growth at 7.2% CAGR between 2022 and 2032. In-depth market analysis by Fact.MR predicts that the demand for softwood pulp will reach US$ 49.58 Bn by the end of 2032.
Consumption of softwood pulp is anticipated to rise due to its increasing application in the production of paper products and dry tissues. Besides this, growing awareness regarding personal care and hygiene will propel the use of absorbent core products. This, in turn, will create lucrative opportunities for the market.
Subsequently, surging demand to substitute polyethylene with paper bags, especially in India, the U.S., and the U.K., is likely to create conducive environment for the growth in softwood pulp market.

Further, rising birth rate and surge in geriatric population will improve the adoption of absorbent core products such as baby diapers and adult diapers worldwide. This is likely to boost the market over the coming years.
Additionally, growing presence of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies, such as Kao Corporation, P&G, and Kimberly Clark, especially in emerging economies such as China, is projected to give tailwinds to the softwood pulp market demand.
For instance, in 2020, sales of paper pulp in China, in terms of volume, was nearly 110 Mn MT. In addition to this, with increased production of printing paper, boards, and tissues in China, the country accounted for 50% of overall paper pulp consumption.
