The European paper industry saw a 5.2% rebound in production during 2024, as reported by Gareth Ward at Print Business UK. The growth was driven by an 8.6% surge in packaging grades and the first growth in coated woodfree paper since 2010, according to Cepi’s preliminary figures. Recycled paper collection rose 4.1%, though still below 2021 peaks, while paper imports into Europe climbed 25%, reflecting ongoing global market volatility. As the industry navigates trade uncertainties, energy costs, and regulatory pressures, sustained growth will hinge on EU policies supporting defossilization, circular economy initiatives, and competitive conditions for pulp and paper producers.
