Print Print this article | Send to Colleague

In recent years, the huge demand for dissolving pulp has prompted many companies to build new dissolving pulp projects, leading to a rapid increase in dissolving pulp production capacity. This has particularly been true in China. According to a new report added to the Research and Markets (Dublin, Ireland) portfolio, titled "Research and Forecast of China Dissolving Pulp Market, 2013 - 2011 by 2012, the production capacity of dissolving pulp in China had reached 937,500 tons, up 57% compared with 2011. But during 2012, the output of dissolving pulp in China was only about 335,000 tons, with the operating rate declining to 35.7% by the end of that year.

The major use of dissolving pulp downstream is the production of viscose fiber. China is the world largest production base of viscose fiber and the output of viscose fiber in China accounted for about 62% of total global output in 2012. In future years, the output of viscose fiber in China is expected to continue growing at about a 10% rate, further spurring the increase of demand for dissolving pulp.

Research and Forecast of China Dissolving Pulp Market, 2013-2017 mainly analyzes the Chinese domestic market status quo and major enterprise operating conditions in the dissolving pulp industry. It also analyses the future of the dissolving pulp industry.
