2013 Global Forest Paper and Packaging Trend Watch

The Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited’s (DTTL) Global Manufacturing Industry group has developed the 2013 Global Forest, Paper and Packaging Trend Watch, which provides insights on the future of the industry from South America market angle.

The report highlights the growing influence of South America on the global FP&P industry as an emerging consumer base as the region’s reliance on paper imports to satisfy growing demand is expected to continue. It also forecasts that South America, with its current investments into state-of-the-art production facilities, could also stake a competitive position in global markets should wood-based and other cellulosic bioenergy reach commercial-scale production.
