It is reported that the domestic paper and paperboard market demand in Japan was about 27.358 million tons in 2013, a decrease of 4.0 million tons from 2012, a decrease of 1.5%, and a negative growth for three consecutive years. In addition, compared with the high 2000 years (31.97 million tons), it was reduced by about 4.61 million tons, a decrease of 14.4%.
According to the product variety forecast, except for the sanitary paper of about 1.882 million tons, the other major paper products were reduced. Among them, news paper 3.261 million tons, down 1.3%; printing paper 94.16 million tons, down 2.8%; packaging paper 752,000 tons, down 3.0%. The total amount of paper products was 16.046 million tons, a decrease of 350,000 tons from the same period of last year, a decrease of 2.1%, and a negative growth for seven consecutive years.
On the other hand, the year-on-year decline in paperboard has narrowed, but all varieties are still decreasing for two consecutive years. Among the main varieties, corrugated board was about 8.645 million tons, down 0.5% year-on-year; cardboard used for paper utensils was about 2.026 million tons, down 0.7% year-on-year (including white paper reduced by 0.6%). The total amount of cardboard was 11.312 million tons, a decrease of 70,000 tons compared with the same period of last year, a decrease of 0.6%.
In such an economic environment, the domestic market demand for Japanese paper and paperboard will continue to be sluggish. The reduction in paper products was mainly affected by factors such as the control of advertising costs and the popularity of electronic media, while cardboard was affected by the downturn in the electrical and mechanical industries, and market demand remained lower than last year.
