 Middle East and Africa Dissolving Pulp and Paper Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

High-quality cellulose pulp with little hemicellulose, lignin, or resin is known as dissolving pulp. The pulp has distinct qualities, such as a high degree of brightness and a constant molecular weight distribution. Typically, dissolving-grade pulps are used to regenerate and synthesize cellulose derivatives. High cellulose content, low hemicellulose content, uniform molecular weight distribution, and high cellulose reactivity are among the criteria that dissolving pulps must meet in order to produce high-quality products. Cellulosic materials like rayon, acetate, and cellophane are created when pulps are dissolved.

Middle East and Africa Dissolving Pulp and Paper Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Paper packaging and corrugated boxes are in higher demand

As the need for corrugated boxes and paper packaging rises, the Middle East's rising demand for food delivery services is anticipated to benefit the pulp and paper industry. For instance, nana direct, an online grocery shopping and home delivery service in Saudi Arabia, raised USD 18 million in June 2020 to support its Middle Eastern expansion and meet the region's growing demand for delivery services.

Opportunities

• Increasing demand for sustainable renewable natural products

With the rising global demand for natural products that are environmentally friendly, the market for dissolving pulp is likely to have several opportunities to grow. The ease of use and long-term viability of dissolving pulp, the global industry is expected to expand. The market share for dissolving the pulp and paper market is increased by the growing trend toward using sustainable natural products.

Restraints/ Challenges

• The growing shift of manufacturers toward dissolving pulp and paper can lead to overcapacity

The market for dissolving paper and pulp is experiencing tremendous growth opportunities due to rising consumer awareness of the issue and an improving shift among manufacturers and consumers toward eco-friendly products. However, switching from producing paper-grade pulp to dissolving pulp could lead to an oversupply of the latter. As a result, it might affect prices and is anticipated to slow the expansion of the global market for dissolving pulp.

• High investments required to produce pulp and paper that dissolves

The initial investment cost of the dissolving pulp plant is a barrier to the product's market share. For instance, rayon is a stretchy fabric that shares many benefits with cotton. It is easy to colour and is breathable, absorbent, and comfortable. Additionally, it is created from renewable resources. Nevertheless, wood is a less expensive raw material than any type of textile fiber. It is more expensive to produce dissolving pulp and turn it into rayon than it is to produce cotton, making rayon a more expensive material. As a result, the investment factor may be a growth inhibitor.
