Earlier Report Observations
The production and market volume of dissolving wood pulp in Iran remained consistently at 2 500 t per year from 2018 through 2023. This stability persisted despite the country's well-documented shortage of domestic wood resources, which made imports of wood pulp a critical supply channel for the broader wood and paper industry. Throughout the period, internal policies, including the application of tariff and non-tariff barriers on wood imports, were adjusted to manage the domestic market and support local production.
Macroeconomic volatility, notably exchange rate fluctuations and chronic inflation, directly increased the cost of raw materials and imported pulp. These pressures were compounded by international sanctions, which raised operational expenses in the extraction and processing sectors due to higher fuel costs, transport restrictions, and rising marine insurance premiums. Despite these cost escalations, the output of dissolving wood pulp was maintained.
Regulatory changes aimed at controlling the market and reducing import dependency were implemented. These included revisions to import rules for wood pulp, the enforcement of environmental and quality standards for imported materials, and state policies encouraging the use of recycled materials and new technologies in the wood and paper industry. The focus on paper and cardboard recycling emerged as a strategy to lessen reliance on limited domestic wood resources.
