Introduction

Abstract

US demand to reach $8.8 billion by 2011

US demand for pulp and paper chemicals is projected to reach 20 billion tons in 2011, valued at $8.8 billion. Growth will be supported by increases in paper and paperboard production, as well as the need to comply with stringent environmental standards. Commodity chemicals such as calcium carbonate and clays will continue to be the largest products (by quantity) consumed in the pulp and paper industry, where they are used as fillers and coating pigments. A significant volume of other chemicals, including pulping chemicals such as caustic soda, sizing agents such as starches, and bleaching agents such as sodium chlorate, are also utilized in pulp and paper operations. Best opportunities are expected in the large paper mills market, although improved prospects are also expected for paperboard mills, and to a lesser degree in pulp mills and deinking plants.

Specialty additives will be fastest growing category

Through 2011, specialty additives are expected to record the fastest growth. Among the specialty additives, products such as biocides and deposit control agents, and retention and drainage aids, should continue to experience the fastest gains. Growth will be based on the increasing use of recycled fibers and reuse of water, which put greater strain on machinery and equipment. Further supporting demand are ongoing efforts to reduce mill emissions as well as efforts to reduce production costs by using higher filler loading levels, which require the use of greater quantities of specialty additives.

Press Release

US PULP & PAPER CHEMICAL DEMAND TO REACH $8.7 BILLION IN 2011

February 25th, 2008

A shift in product mix toward higher-priced chemicals will support pulp and paper chemical demand, which will reach $8.7 billion in 2011. In general, pricing for pulp and paper chemicals jumped abnormally during the 2004 to 2006 period due to a rise in energy costs. However, price increases should moderate going forward. Increases in paper and board production will support overall demand for chemicals, as will the use of recycled paper and trends toward brighter paper and board products that meet international standards. These and other trends are presented in Pulp & Paper Chemicals, a new study from The Freedonia Group, Inc., a Cleveland-based industry research firm.

Specialty additives will show the fastest growth and account for half of total chemical demand in the US pulp and paper industry in value terms, but only one-quarter of the total in volume terms. The use of recycled paper and continuing efforts to reuse process water will support demand for water treatment chemicals such as biocides, coagulants and flocculants. Specialty products also help to improve the strength, water resistance, opacity, and other performance and aesthetic characteristics of paper and can be used to improve productivity, protect equipment and machinery, and reduce waste and emissions

Fillers and coating pigments will continue to represent the largest pulp and paper chemical segment in terms of volume. Fillers are widely used by papermakers to reduce the amount of more expensive fibers. Growth will largely be centered in calcium carbonates, which are the principal filler and coating chemicals in use. Clays will remain widely used, although growth will be below average as kaolins lose ground to both precipitated and ground calcium carbonate.

The use of recycled paper and board will continue to support demand for a wide variety of chemicals. Although prices for recovered paper have risen significantly in recent years as strong demand from developing countries (especially China) tightened global supplies, recycled fibers will remain cheaper than fibers produced from virgin wood pulp. The dependency of the pulp and paper industry on recycled fibers, for both environmental and economic reasons, induces demand for fillers, bleaching and deinking chemicals, and a range of water treatment chemicals designed to remove the large quantities of impurities and contaminants which accompany recycled fiber use.
