INDUSTRY NEWS
US box makers seeing good October, export liner price falls; Economist expects 2.5% demand growth in market pulp; Publishers after price relief from import tariff
US domestic pricing was unchanged in the last month for unbleached kraft linerboard, white top linerboard, and semichemical corrugating medium, box makers and containerboard producers told PPI Pulp & Paper Week this week. Most open market tons domestically were priced in line with their levels last month, according to industry contacts.
"It's all about the same," said one box plant leader in the Northeast, adding that demand continued to "grow slowly."
"There's no slippage in price," said a box plant operator in the Midwest. "Supply has been steady and paper doesn't seem to be as tight."
The main highlights this week were pricing weakness on the export market and a corrugated demand pickup in October.

RISI economist sees 2.5% demand
rise as supply shocks, China RCP rules keep pulp market tight
Worldwide demand for market pulp is forecast to rise 5% in 2018 and nearly 2.5% in 2019, as a relatively s
trong global econo
my and China's aggressive import policy changes in the recovered paper sector drive additional dem
and for virgin pulp, RISI's VP of fiber economic analysis David Fortin said in a recent presentation.
The global pulp market, which has stayed hot in terms of high pricing for most of 2018, will reach a relative balance in fourth quarter as Chinese pulp demand eases due to oversupply in paper and board. However, conditions will tighten again into 2019 with capacity expansion slowing and demand tracking higher on continued economic growth, Fortin added.
"Demand is growing (roughly) 3% per year while supply is rising 2% per year, so that's a positive sign. But when you add unexpected downtime - barring an economic drop or Chinese reversal - the market should grow tighter," Fortin said during RISI's 33rd Annual North American Conference in San Francisco on Oct. 11.
A wildcard for global pulp markets emerged starting in August 2017 when the Chinese government began implementing stricter limits on recovered paper imports and told the World Trade Organization it would ban mixed paper imports by yearend 2017. Industry participants have tried putting a tonnage figure on how many additional tonnes of virgin pulp demand resulted from the recovered paper limits ever since.
About five million tonnes of mixed paper was imported by China in 2017.
