Moore & Associates Releases New Report

Moore & Associates, in conjunction with EU Consulting, announces the availability of Globalising Recovered Fibre Markets – 2004 Edition. This strategic business analysis focuses on future trends and developments in the use and supply of recovered paper. The report’s coverage is global, with emphasis on developments in all the major regions – Western/Eastern Europe, North/Latin America, Japan, China, Asia Far East, Near/Middle East, Oceania and Africa.

Earlier editions of the project emphasized that increasing globalization of recovered fiber markets would be a key trend in the business. This is very much what has taken place, although the pace of the change has surprised most observers.

One country stands alone on the top of the list of investment projects – China. What happens in China cannot be ignored as Chinese developments have an impact on global recovered fiber availability, trade balances and prices of this valuable raw material. Recovered paper markets are becoming more global, and strategic decisions governing recovered fiber use, collection or trade have to be made in the light of a thorough understanding of their international implications. Several factors in international fiber and paper markets – from paper demand developments, furnish issues, competitiveness, ongoing projects and fiber availability – have to be considered before it is possible to draw conclusions concerning future recovered fiber demand and supply.
