Summary by Related Catalogs Waste Paper - Price: On January 9, the national benchmark price was 1,622 yuan/ton, with a daily decline of 1.1%, continuing the downward trend [4] - Supply - Demand: Supply is relatively sufficient, and the recycling system operates normally. Some areas have slight fluctuations in recycling volume due to weather. Paper mills have regional price adjustments. Demand is weak, and downstream packaging factories mainly make rigid purchases with weak pre - festival stocking intentions [4] - Inventory: The inventory of paper mills and packing stations is at a medium level. Some paper mills control the inbound volume due to price fluctuations, and the inventory pressure of some paper mills in South China and East China has slightly increased, slowing down the overall de - stocking pace [4] - Profit: The profit of packing stations is meager, and the profit of the waste carton recycling link is at a low level, with the overall profitability being weak [4] Box - Board Paper - Price: On January 9, the overall price remained stable, and Jiulong Paper's 140g box - board paper was quoted at 4,600 yuan [12] - Supply: The supply is abundant. Some paper mills plan to shut down for maintenance or switch production due to poor profitability. Leading paper enterprises have announced shutdown plans at the beginning of 2026, increasing the expectation of supply contraction, but the short - term supply remains sufficient [12] - Demand: Downstream demand is still weak. The packaging industry has insufficient orders, and transactions are light. The shipment in coastal areas is relatively better than that in inland areas, and end - customers purchase cautiously to digest existing inventories [12] - Inventory: The inventory of paper mills continues to rise, and the industry inventory level is at a relatively high level within the year. Due to weak downstream demand, paper mills have a large pressure on inventory de - stocking [12] - Profit: The profit margin is limited. Affected by raw material costs and high inventory, the profitability of box - board paper enterprises is low. Some small paper mills are near the break - even point, while large paper mills have relatively better profit conditions through scale effects and cost control, but the overall industry profit is under pressure [12] Double - Offset Paper - Price: The price is stable. In the Shandong market, the mainstream transaction price of high - white double - offset paper is 4,650 - 4,750 yuan/ton, and that of natural - white double - offset paper is 4,300 - 4,500 yuan/ton [20] - Supply - Demand: The supply is abundant, and the paper mill operating rate has increased. Some paper mills exchange volume for price to maintain market share. The futures market has rebounded to repair the previous discount, but the upside is limited in the medium - to - long term [20] Pulp - Price: On January 9, the price of softwood pulp in Shandong increased by 50 yuan [29] - Supply - Demand: Downstream paper mills' profits are weak, and they mainly make purchases as needed. The operating rates of double - offset paper and white cardboard have declined month - on - month, and spot transactions are light. The futures market has a strong bullish sentiment [29] - Inventory: The de - stocking pressure has not been fundamentally alleviated. The port inventory has fallen below 2 million tons and has been de - stocking for 5 consecutive weeks [29]
