Global Outlook for Cut Size Uncoated Freesheet Markets 2021

Cut size uncoated freesheet has increasingly been threatened by digitization. Worldwide pandemic driven school and office closures and the accompanying wave of investment into digital communication and remote work are weakening consumer demand.

This study examines pre-pandemic trends, as well as the prospects for recovery and market dynamics following the demand collapse of 2020.

Learn how the global cut size market is changing. Understand the outlook for recovery after the massive impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The analysis includes:
  • 133 countries: Demand, production, capacity, exports, imports
  • 220 machines: Profiles of major producers and mill fiber usage
  • 10-year forecasts: demand, supply, trade for major regions and countries
  • 20-year analysis: uncoated freesheet and cut size historical data
Our study Outlook for the Cut Size Uncoated Freesheet Markets provides you with:
  • 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
  • Trends in basis weights, brightness, and sheet sizes for key markets
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.
