Exploding Chinese tissue investments: What will the consequences be?

摘要

THERE IS A REAL INVESTMENT BOOM going on in the Chinese tissue industry. The very strong consumption growth of 12.5% or nearly 600,000 tonnes in 2011 (and likely, very similar growth in 2012 as well) has encouraged companies to undertake massive investment programs. The tissue sector has become so attractive that many companies that are not currentiy part of the tissue industry have already entered or are planning to enter the tissue business in China.
