China's fibre market eclipses previous estimates

摘要

Demand for fibre in China surged to 19.3 million km in Q2. The latest inputs from industry participants as well as data from secondary sources, such as international trade statistics have led us to increase our assessment of China's H1 fibre demand to 34.8 million fibre-km. This is a 56 percent increase over HI 08. By all accounts, the boom in China's fibre market is exceeding expectations and is requiring worldwide fibre producers to run at peak capacity.
