Printing paper demand to grow slowly

World demand for printing and writing paper grades will grow this year—but not by much. In fact, it won’t grow that much for the next two years, according to a forecast by the Printing and Writing Papers Association. That could mean prices will come down, so buyers should keep an eye on the market. By the way, the strongest demand growth will come from Eastern Europe, projected at 5.6% annually for the next three years. North American demand will drop 1.1%.
