Wood Pulp Mills in Canada - Industry Market Research Report

Organic growth: An anticipated boom in wood pulp prices will be beneficial to industry revenue

Canadian wood pulp mills supply pulp to various downstream paper manufacturers, including paper mills, sanitary paper product manufacturers and cardboard packaging mills. This industry is highly globalised and companies derive most revenue from exports. Through 2023, wood pulp mills have endured major revenue volatility driven by supply chain shortages and the continued decline of domestic paper manufacturers. Revenue has faltered at an expected CAGR of 5.0% to $9.3 billion through the current period, including a 2.6% drop in 2023, driven by falling wood and pulp prices. Wood pulp mills primarily manufacture pulp from organic materials without processing it into paper or paperboard. The pulp is made by separating the cellulose fibres from impurities in wood or other materials such as used or recycled rags, linters, scrap paper and straw.
