Earlier Report Observations

The Czech market for unbleached kraft or soda pulp saw substantial growth from 2018 to 2022, with its total volume increasing from 212 thousand tons to over 307 thousand tons. This expansion was primarily fueled by a major rise in domestic production, which grew from 202 thousand tons to 299 thousand tons over the same period. Imports fluctuated moderately but generally supplemented the growing supply.

A sharp contraction occurred in 2023, when the market volume fell to 240 thousand tons, representing a decline of more than 20% from the peak. This downturn was led by a significant drop in production output to 235 thousand tons, while imports also decreased. The market's trajectory over the observed period illustrates a phase of strong expansion followed by a notable correction.
