Global Pulp Market 2016-2020

About the Pulp Market

Pulp is a type of fibrous material that is largely composed of water, cellulose fibers, lignin, and hemicelluloses. Cellulose fibers are essential for the production of paper, while lignin is a type of polymer that binds these fibers together. Hemicellulose, like cellulose, is a carbohydrate-based polymer that binds closely to cellulose fibers and along with cellulose fibers, provides strength to paper. Water, cellulose fibers, lignin, and hemicelluloses constitute over 95% of the composition of pulp. In some pulp grades, extractives account for the remaining composition. Air-dried pulp, which is available in the market, has a lower amount of water (less than 10% by weight).

Technavio’s analysts forecast the global pulp market to grow at a CAGR of 2.02% by production capacity during the period 2016-2020.
