The output of double offset paper last week was 203,000 tons, an increase of 6.8%. The capacity utilization rate was 53%, a month - on - month increase of 3.6% [2]. - **Demand**: The growth momentum of the downstream consumer end was weak. The operating rate of some printing factories remained low. Market demand mainly came from users' rigid demand for replenishment, and new orders were relatively limited [2]. - **Import and Export**: In July 2025, the export volume of double offset paper was about 63,000 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 5.9% and a year - on - year decrease of 21%.
