Record level for global paper/board production in 2013

Despite the persistent decline in North America and Europe, global paper and board production advanced 0.8% to reach a new record level of 403 million tonnes in 2013. Positive growth in tissue and packaging grades continued to offset the retreat in global graphic paper production. These and other findings were recently published in the 2014 Annual Review of Global Pulp & Paper Statistics by RISI.
The review is published annually and covers demand, production, trade and consumption statistics by region and country for 175 countries. It provides a comprehensive dataset of all key grades of pulp, paper and board for the previous two consecutive years (Press Release RISI, 5 November 2014).
