Earlier Report Observations

The newsprint market in Oceania experienced a severe and sustained contraction from 2018 to 2023. Market volume fell by nearly 75% over this period, dropping from 347.7 thousand tons to 88.9 thousand tons. Domestic production mirrored this decline, decreasing by over 75% from 468.1 thousand tons to 107.0 thousand tons.

International trade flows for newsprint in Oceania showed considerable volatility. Imports surged from 2020 to 2022, peaking at 84.0 thousand tons, before falling back in 2023. Exports, after a sharp drop from 2018 to 2022, rebounded strongly in 2023 and 2024. These trade movements contributed to the net market size calculations but did not offset the overarching downward trend in domestic consumption.

The scale of the market's decline was most pronounced after 2021, with the market volume halving between 2021 and 2022 and then again by 2023. This indicates an accelerated phase of contraction in the latter part of the period, leading to a market less than a quarter of its 2018 size.
