Old Economy brings unparalleled visibility to the Forest Products, Paper and Packaging sectors of India. Our analysis covers pulp dynamics, packaging paper growth, and the evolving newsprint landscape. The Indian paper industry is one of the fastest-growing in the world, driven by rising literacy rates, increasing urbanization, and the boom in e-commerce and organized retail. We provide detailed assessments of over 50 different grades of paper and paperboard, helping our clients navigate the complexities of this dynamic market. In the printing and writing segment, we monitor demand trends and capacity expansions in both coated and uncoated papers.

We analyze the impact of technological advancements in papermaking and the increasing focus on environmental sustainability through social forestry and recycling initiatives in India. Raw material procurement is a key challenge for Indian mills.

Our analysis also covers the impact of trade policies, such as Minimum Import Price (MIP) and Anti-Dumping Duty (ADD) investigations, on the competitive landscape of the Indian paper industry.
