European Tissue Stagnates

摘要

It's a relief not to have to write about China's immense growth or the US's lack of competitiveness.However,I am surprised to be writing about a sector-tissue-which produces about 23.7 million tons per year(tpy) on about 2,100 machines worldwide,directed at a market that the producers track and target in forensic detail.But machines are being shut and there are redundancies.Europe's production and consumption of tissue are almost in balance at 6.1 million tpy and 6.5 million tpy,respectively.
