Driven by the rising cost of raw materials, paper prices have risen sharply in recent years. Industry insiders expect that pulp prices will still have room to rise this month, and paper prices will rise again as pulp prices rise.

Reporters learned that the price of other paper products has risen for more than two months. On December 1, the price of living paper has risen successfully by 200 yuan/ton, but the pressure of enterprise operation is still greater. "Recently, the cost of wood pulp paper for daily use has increased by more than 600 yuan/ton due to the persistent rise in pulp price and high coal price. However, due to the fierce market competition, in order to protect the interests of customers, the price of paper in most large paper mills has increased by only 200 yuan/ton. The problem of excess capacity in the industry is serious, and it is difficult for enterprises to transfer costs. At present, pulp prices are rising steadily, and pulp prices are still expected to rise this month. Zhuo Chuang Information Analyst Zhang Cedar believes that paper prices have the possibility of a second price increase along with pulp prices. But because the price of paper is much lower than the rising cost space, living paper enterprises are still carrying heavy loads ahead.

It is worth noting that in November, the price of corrugated paper and carton paper rose rapidly, reaching 600-1300 yuan/ton. "Price increases are mainly due to the rising prices of raw materials and waste paper and the decline of raw paper supply under environmental pressure. At the end of November, the price of raw material and waste paper fell slightly, and the profit margin of paper enterprises expanded. However, under the influence of environmental protection supervision, it is difficult to improve the current situation that the supply of corrugated paper and carton board is in short supply for the time being. Therefore, the price of corrugated paper and carton board in the first ten days of December may still be above the actors. Guo Yaping, an information analyst at Zhuo Chuang, said.

Recently, the spot price of imported wood pulp market has been rising continuously, and "one price per day" phenomenon appears in some areas. Coniferous pulp increased significantly last week, with an increase of 100-150 yuan per ton in the week, and some businesses closed the market. "Under the pressure of retailers'reluctance to sell, RMB depreciation and external quotation increase, the spot price of imported wood pulp will be short-term or sustained, and the practitioners will actively implement the real orders."
