The total consumption is second only to the United States, is the world's second largest paper consumer. Moreover, the domestic market is still rapidly growing demand for paper products is expected to reach 100 million by 2010 tons. General excess manufacturing capacity in China's case, the growing demand for paper products is rare.
The other hand, China's per capita paper consumption is less than 27 kg per capita consumption is only half of the world around, and the developed countries from 200 to 300 kg per capita consumption is far from. Experts estimate that by 2010, China's per capita consumption level will be close to the world average. Such a huge market space, making China's paper market is now so foreign companies dripping down to the birthday cake.
The temptation of the cake, the foreign large-scale "invasion" of large multinational companies have a beachhead in China. From Indonesia's Sinar Mas Group since 1995 in China launched a strategic investment activities, its business activities cover office paper, household paper and other fields. Meanwhile, the share of China's imports of paper is increasing year by year, has become the world's largest importer of paper products, paper products have become the first light large use of foreign exchange. A lot of raw material and equipment bound for the Chinese paper industry to withstand the introduction of more international risk.
Second risk: forage inherent confusion in the market structure
"Foreign aggression" before the "troubles" should not be underestimated.
A long time, China's paper industry is taking a grass fibers as raw material and small paper mills as the main path of development. According to statistics, the largest paper companies had reached more than 20,000, mostly small factory town, with an average annual production is 0.25 million tons, while the world average of 64,200 tons. Even some of the larger paper companies on a scale far behind international standards, and backward technology and equipment in general. Developed countries such as USA, Japan and the Nordic paper industry obviously has a large enterprise, capital and technology-intensive high characteristics.
Most small paper mills to straw, wheat straw as raw materials such as straw, although their presence reduced the number of imported paper and pulp, but the scale and obsolete equipment, high energy consumption, so about 75% The alkali and organic waste with no effective recovery and treatment, serious pollution to the environment. But also for paper single product structure, low quality. Currently, high-grade paper products market primarily by imports and occupied by foreign products. Coupled with China's paper products business market turmoil, many small factories with low-quality products and low price of scraping the market, manufacturers of the formal formation of the attacks.
Modern paper industry is a very strong industry association, its development and forestry, pulp and paper production equipment, professional manufacturing, paper and specialty chemicals for manufacturing, packaging, printing, as well as energy, transportation between all there are interdependent and mutually reinforcing, and so the development of the industry is directly related to the internal structure of the industry and the restructuring of forestry and related industries.
Paper industry relies on nothing more than raw materials, wood pulp, waste paper pulp and non-wood pulp. Due to historical traditions and geographical conditions, and many other reasons, the Chinese long-term non-wood fiber raw materials as the main paper, which restricted the size of China's paper industry, product quality and grade as well as the production of sperm is an important factor.
With the strengthening of China's environmental protection and market high-quality and high-grade paper, the rapid increase in product demand, the demand for wood pulp and waste paper pulp increased rapidly, the domestic raw materials in short supply, had to rely heavily on imports. In recent years, China's paper industry raw materials, although the proportion of the increased consumption of wood pulp, but with the international developed country average consumption of wood pulp paper industry compared to 94%, still a wide gap, mainly because of Forest resources are scarce, but in recent years, another in an endless stream of timber resources abroad, not only constrains the healthy development of China's paper industry, but also increased the burden of environmental protection.
