What are the factors that affect the price of household paper?

Firstly, there is a high demand for paper

With a large population, there is a huge demand for paper. There are over a thousand paper-making enterprises, especially with the improvement of people’s living standards. People are no longer satisfied with using ordinary paper, but demand better and higher quality paper. Producing good paper will inevitably increase its price.

Secondly, the increase in raw material prices

Pulp prices have remained high for a long time, and are affected by economic conditions, global supply, and trade disputes. During the period of economic growth, the consumption of paper increased sharply. The increase in paper and cardboard production has driven up the demand for pulp, but the increase in pulp supply will take some time to reach a new supply-demand balance.

Thirdly, the increase in costs

As is well known, the process of papermaking is quite complex, especially for household paper. It is necessary to ensure compliance with national safety procedures and meet people’s requirements. People’s quality of life is significantly improving, so the demand for household paper is also increasing. In recent years, some paper mills have been committed to improving the standards of household paper, as they strive for smoothness, comfort, safety, and hygiene. In addition, the cost and process of papermaking are significantly increasing, so it is only natural for the price of household paper to rise.

Fourth, price increases

With the beginning of globalization, the phenomenon of rising prices in countries around the world is actually quite serious. China can control prices at a level that people can accept, which is already the best way to avoid economic crises. However, some industries will still be affected, such as the cost price and selling price of the paper industry. This is also inevitable, as we all live in this world and economic exchanges are unavoidable.

Fifth, strengthening environmental inspections and adjusting industrial structure

With the implementation of environmental inspections, some unqualified paper companies have been shut down for rectification, while the demand of the people continues to increase, resulting in price increases. With the optimization and adjustment of industrial structure, objectively, the supply has decreased and prices have increased.
