Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2019, non-wood fibre pulp production in Argentina remained stable at around 130 000 t. The market experienced a decline in 2020, with output falling to 113 000 t, coinciding with the approval of a new technical regulation for textile labelling that altered fibre composition requirements and likely impacted demand for pulp used in textile manufacturing.

Production continued to decrease through 2021 and 2022, reaching a low of 84 000 t, while imports rose significantly to 14 000 t in 2021. This period was marked by a recession in the domestic forestry and timber sector, which reduced overall demand for pulp, and the implementation of a new quality regulation for fibre and particle boards that further affected production for this application segment.

A recovery was observed in 2023, with production rising to 97 300 t and total market volume reaching 108 600 t.
