Wood Chip Exports from Latin America Reached a Record High in 2011, with Pulp Mills in Japan and Europe Being the Major Export Destinations

2012-01-27T07:31:00.001-05:00

Seattle, WA, January 27, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Wood chip exports from Latin America are on track to reach a record high of almost eight million tons in 2011, reports the Wood Resource Quarterly. This would be an increase of seven percent from last year and of almost 60 percent higher than in 2006. Chile is by far the biggest exporter, accounting for two-thirds of the total shipments from the continent, while Brazil and Uruguay both account for about 16 percent each. In 2011, Chile was the world’s second largest supplier of hardwood chips after Vietnam. Latin America’s hardwood chip export volumes accounted for approximately 50 percent of globally traded wood chips, a share that has grown from 34 percent five years ago.

Historically, between 80-90 percent of the exported wood chips from Latin America have been destined for Japanese pulp mills, but there has been a diversification of consumers over the past few years. Although shipments to Japan have gone up by over 30 percent from 2006, the share of total exports has declined and is currently around 70 percent.

The biggest change from five years ago is that pulp mills in Europe have been buying much more Eucalyptus chip, particularly from Chile and Uruguay. In 2011, total shipments to Europe reached almost 1.7 million tons, which was slightly lower than 2010 but more than a doubling from 2009, according to the WRQ. The three major importing countries in Europe are Spain, Portugal and Norway. In addition, there have also been a few shipments to Finnish and Swedish pulp mills the past few years.

New destinations for Eucalyptus chips from Latin America the past five years include Morocco, Turkey and China. There are expectations that Chile will increase its shipments to China in the coming years because of higher demand from new pulp mills in the country.

Global timber market reporting is included in the 52-page quarterly publication Wood Resource Quarterly (WRQ). The report, established in 1988 and with subscribers in over 25 countries, tracks sawlog, pulpwood, lumber and pellet prices and market developments in most key regions around the world.

Global market for office supplies and services to be worth US$ 221.6 billion by 2015

2012-01-22T09:27:00.000-05:00

Paperworld Middle East to feature leading international brands

The spread of new technology, a growing emphasis on sustainability and green consciousness and increasing demand from the emerging economies of the world are expected to shape the future market for office services and supplies in the imminent future.

The fast-growing economies of the Middle East are expected to prove increasingly attractive to manufacturers and suppliers of office supplies and services as they grow in stature and extent as business and finance centres.

Growing interest in the sector is expected to impact the upcoming Paperworld Middle East 2012 favorably, feels organiser Epoc Messe Frankfurt.

“The countries of the Middle East region are growing increasingly attractive as business destinations. The size of their expanding economies is helping to drive rapid demand for office supplies and services, meaning that events such as Paperworld Middle East have an increasingly important role to play in shaping and influencing the market,” said Ahmed Pauwels, Chief Executive Officer of Epoc Messe Frankfurt.

“Representing the entire range of office and stationery products and services, Paperworld Middle East has its finger on the pulse of the market and provides our partners with an ideal business sourcing and networking platform with considerable reach around the region,” he added.

With recent market research indicating that the global market for office products and services is expected to be worth US$221.6 billion by 2015, manufacturers and suppliers are increasingly eying new and emerging markets in which to expand their footprint*.

Growing trends towards the use of sustainable products and green technologies are also playing considerable roles in shaping the market. The need for security and the increasing incorporation of information technology in organizing office workflow and functions has also impacted the global market.

Beate Oblau of Lamy, Launch Partners of Paperworld Middle East, said: “The exhibition brings the global expertise of the Paperworld brand to the Middle East region. For us it is an ideal event to gain a better understanding of the marketplace here. We will use the event as a platform for showcasing our wide range of writing instruments and to help reinforce our presence in this regional marketplace.”

“Each market has its own unique preferences. Our objective of participating in Paperworld Middle East is to strengthen and expand our presence in a promising region for our wide range of office products,” said Jürgen Schniedermann, VP Export Sales of Durable, travelling regularly in this region since 1977. “After observing the success of the launch edition we felt the time was right for us to participate and use this highly professional fair to present all our new products to competent buyers from Middle East and Africa,” he added.

Paperworld Middle East, which will be held at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre from March 6^th to 8^th, 2012 will feature leading international and local manufacturers and suppliers of office and paper products who are looking to make inroads into the Middle East. The event features a range of companies showcasing office supplies, school articles, gift articles, wrapping material, gift cards and calendars as well as paper and film. Running parallel to the exhibition is Remanexpo Middle East, a platform for the reprocessing of printer materials.
