core tip: due to the impact of the global economic downturn and the intensification of environmental pressure, the orders of the national paper packaging industry have shrunk. In 2019, whether the paper packaging orders can firmly hold the experimental samples has decreased, and the overall consumption of packaging materials has decreased, Many end-users' paper packaging alternatives have been released, and many packaging enterprises have successively established digital paper packaging production bases, resulting in a decline in the demand for packaging paper

on December 3, Guangdong Paper Association released the "development of Guangdong paper industry in 2018 and 2019", which described the development of Guangdong paper industry, the analysis and outlook of the development situation of the paper industry, as well as the problems that paper enterprises should pay attention to

the author notes that there are 252 paper-making enterprises in Guangdong Province. Due to the high price of national waste in recent years, the government has implemented the policy of "replacing coal with gas", and some packaging paper enterprises have almost no profits or losses. It is reported that some packaging paper enterprises in Guangdong Province have plans to carry out "three old transformation" and withdraw or relocate to other places; A paper mill in Guangzhou has stopped production for more than half a year; The production lines of some enterprises are frequently shut down

the output of paper and paperboard in 2018 decreased for the first time in nearly a decade

in 2018, the national output of paper and paperboard reached 104.35 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 6.24%. Among them, the output of paper and paperboard in Guangdong Province was 20.9455 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 3.9%, accounting for 20.1% of the national output of paper and paperboard. The output of paper and paperboard in both China and Guangdong Province has declined, which has never occurred in the past decade

(completion of major varieties of paper industry in Guangdong Province in 2018)

national paper enterprises are mainly distributed in the eastern region. In 2018, the output of paper and paperboard in the eastern region accounted for 74.2% of the national output, and that in the central region accounted for 16.3%. In recent years, the share of the central region has become higher and higher. There are four provinces in China, Guangdong, Shandong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu, whose paper and paperboard output exceeds 10million tons, accounting for 63% of the total national output

in 2019, the cumulative output of paper and paperboard in China reached 92.875 million tons, especially, a year-on-year increase of 2.5%. Among them, the monthly output of paper and paperboard in Guangdong Province reached 16.5274 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 4.4%. In 2019, the industrial added value of the national paper and paper products industry increased by 5.8%, and the industrial added value of the paper and paper products industry in Guangdong Province was 38.399 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.9%

(the output and growth rate of paper and paperboard in Guangdong Province in recent years)

the output of different types of packaging paper has decreased significantly

specifically, in terms of packaging paper and paperboard, in 2018, the output of packaging paper and paperboard in Guangdong Province was 15.3825 million tons, accounting for 73.4% of the total output of paper and paperboard in Guangdong Province

the output of carton board was 6.579 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 9.9%; The output of corrugated base paper was 5026500 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 2.4%; The output of white paperboard was 2.6508 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 9.2%; The output of grey board paper was 992000 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 4.8%. It can be seen that the output of various types of packaging paper has decreased significantly

(the output of the main types of packaging paper and paperboard in Guangdong Province in 2018)

according to the Guangdong Paper Association, the main reason for the decline in the output of packaging paper is that the state restricts the import of waste paper, resulting in the shortage of domestic waste paper raw materials, high prices, enterprises do not have enough waste paper raw materials for production, and the downstream demand is weakened. The dual effect leads to a significant decline in the output of packaging paper with waste paper as the main raw material

there are 46 paper enterprises with a production capacity of more than 100000 tons in Guangdong Province

according to statistics, there are 252 paper enterprises in Guangdong Province at present, and the number of enterprises is mainly distributed in Jiangmen, Shantou, Zhaoqing,

Dongguan, Guangzhou and other places. The production capacity is mainly in the Pearl River Delta region, mainly distributed in Dongguan, Jiangmen, Zhanjiang and other regions

(distribution of paper-making enterprises in Guangdong Province)

in 2018, 46 paper-making enterprises with pulp, paper and paperboard output of more than 100000 tons in Guangdong Province passed special manufacturing processes, including 5 enterprises with more than 1million tons, including nine dragons, Liwen, Chenming, Jianhui and Asia Pacific. The total output of raw pulp of these five enterprises is 878000 tons, and the total output of paper and paperboard is 10.6677 million tons, accounting for 50.93% of the total output of paper and paperboard in Guangdong Province; There are 24 enterprises with 300000 tons to 1million tons and 17 enterprises with 100000 tons to 300000 tons

among the top 30 key papermaking enterprises in China in 2018, the company or its subsidiaries have a total of 9 enterprises in Guangdong Province, of which Nine Dragons Paper (Holdings) Co., Ltd. still ranks first in the country in terms of output, reaching 13.94 million tons, an increase of 6.17% year-on-year; The output of Liwen Paper Co., Ltd. was 5.6317 million tons, with a year-on-year increase of 1.48%, ranking second

some packaging paper enterprises have almost no profit or loss operation

in 2018, the production and sales of national packaging paper decreased significantly year-on-year in 2017. Among them, the output of carton board was 21.45 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 10.06%, and the consumption was 23.45 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 6.57%; The output of corrugated base paper was 21.05 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 9.85%, and the consumption was 22.13 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 7.64%; The output of white paperboard was 13.35 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 6.64%, and the consumption was 12.19 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 6.16%

(national production and sales of packaging paper)

in the past two years, the price of packaging paper has fluctuated significantly due to the fluctuations in the price of waste paper raw materials and environmental protection

in 2017, the price of packaging paper rose sharply, the price of carton board rose from 3800 yuan/ton to 6800 yuan/ton, and the price of corrugated base paper rose from 3000 yuan/ton to 5700 yuan/ton

however, since 2018, the price of packaging paper has begun to decline. At present, the price of carton board has basically fallen back to about 4000 yuan/ton, and the price of corrugated base paper has fallen back to about 3200 yuan/ton

(price trend of carton board)

(price trend of corrugated paper)

at present, the price of domestic waste paper is high at 2000 yuan/ton, and the government implements the policy of "changing coal to gas", and the enterprise coal-fired boiler is changed to burn natural gas, the operating cost will rise by

yuan/ton, and the packaging paper production enterprise will operate without profit or loss

at the same time, many packaging and printing enterprises purchase packaging paper base paper from abroad in order to reduce costs. From 2017 to 2018, the import of packaging paper increased significantly. In 2018, the country imported 2.07 million tons of cardboard, an increase of 51.1% year-on-year; The import of corrugated base paper was 1.11 million tons, with a year-on-year increase of 70.8%. In the month of

2019, China imported 640000 tons of corrugated base paper, with a year-on-year increase of 52%

(import volume of packaging paper in recent ten years)

in addition, due to the impact of the global economic downturn and the intensification of environmental protection pressure, the orders of the national paper packaging industry shrank. In 2019, the orders of paper packaging decreased by%, and the overall consumption of packaging materials decreased. Many end customers' paper packaging alternatives were launched one after another, and many packaging enterprises successively established digital paper packaging production bases, resulting in a decline in the demand for packaging paper

it is difficult for paper enterprises to bear the rising costs and shrinking demand. It is understood that some packaging paper enterprises in Guangdong Province have plans to carry out "three old transformation" to exit or relocate to other places; A paper mill in Guangzhou has stopped production for more than half a year; Some enterprises in Dongguan and Foshan also hope to carry out "three old transformation", and some production lines of enterprises have been shut down for a long time

even so, many enterprises are still developing steadily. As stated at the beginning of the "development of paper industry in Guangdong Province in 2018 and 2019": "most paper enterprises in Guangdong Province are still actively responding, seeking solutions, and gradually promoting the implementation of national policies to ensure the stable development of paper industry in Guangdong Province."

note: the above data are from the development of Guangdong paper industry in 2018 and 2019 published by Guangdong Paper Association. This paper is compiled based on the report, mainly summarizing the development status and relevant data of packaging paper enterprises
