Group 1 - The overall demand for paper is expected to continue a moderate recovery in 2026, with supply entering a winding down phase, but new capacity coming online in 2025 will keep supply-demand relatively loose [1][2] - The price of pulp is becoming a key driver for inventory adjustments in the paper industry, with the price cycle becoming shorter due to intense competition in the pulp and paper supply chain [1][2] - The next large-scale pulp project is not expected to come online until 2027, with no high-certainty projects in the interim, leading to a forecast of pulp prices recovering year-on-year in 2026, but with self-produced pulp capacity limiting the upper range of price recovery [1][2] Group 2 - The consumption demand for various types of paper is in a phase of moderate recovery, with different supply changes across paper categories; the integrated pulp and paper leaders are expected to continue earning excess profits [2] - The production capacity of corrugated box paper has nearly reached its peak, which is expected to lead to a recovery in capacity utilization and a year-on-year increase in paper prices [2] - The scarcity of quality forest and pulp assets is increasing, with tightening upstream resources due to limited high-quality forest resources and global economic growth, making companies with quality forest and pulp assets more attractive [2]

Core Viewpoint - The industry is expected to experience a moderate recovery in consumer demand by 2026, with varying supply dynamics across different paper types. The supply-demand balance for pulp paper remains relatively loose, while corrugated box paper is anticipated to recover first from the current supply-demand imbalance, leading to improved capacity utilization and price recovery [2][3][4]. Pulp Paper Supply and Demand - The supply-demand structure for pulp paper is expected to remain relatively loose, with a moderate recovery in overall paper demand anticipated for 2026. Although supply is nearing its peak, new capacity is expected to be released in 2025, leading to a relatively loose supply-demand balance, with cultural paper facing more pressure than specialty paper and white card paper [2][4]. - The price of pulp is becoming a key driver for inventory adjustments in the industry, with expectations of a year-on-year recovery in pulp prices in 2026, projected to fluctuate between $550 and $650 per ton [2][4][14]. Corrugated Box Paper - The demand for corrugated box paper is highly sensitive to consumer trends, with expected consumption growth rates of 8% and 4% for 2023 and 2024, respectively. The total consumption increase from 2022 to 2025 is estimated to be around 10 million tons [3][4]. - The expansion of supply has entered its final phase, with major players like Nine Dragons and Lee & Man halting expansion plans, leading to a favorable environment for price recovery in 2026 [3][4]. Raw Material Scarcity - The scarcity of quality forest and pulp assets is expected to increase, driven by global economic growth and limited high-quality forest resources. Companies with superior forest and pulp assets are likely to benefit [3][4]. Cultural Paper - The cultural paper segment is facing increasing supply-demand pressure, with expectations of a decline in profit margins in 2026 due to significant new capacity coming online and weak demand from educational materials [18][28]. - The industry is expected to see a decline in profit margins for cultural paper, with major players needing to focus on cost control capabilities, particularly in self-produced pulp [18][28]. White Card Paper - The white card paper segment is experiencing continued supply-demand weakness, with a slight price recovery observed in late 2025. However, the overall consumption remains weak, and the industry is expected to face challenges in achieving a balance in supply and demand [27][28]. - The industry is projected to have no significant new capacity additions in 2026, with the focus shifting towards cost control and the ability to self-supply raw materials [27][28].
