Colombia Pulp and Paper Market Research Report, 2029

The Colombian sheet pulp and paper market has a long history, dating back to the early twentieth century, when several local mills lay the groundwork for the business. Colombia has built a vibrant pulp and paper sector over the years, because of its extensive forest resources, notably in the Andes, where fast-growing eucalyptus trees are widely grown. However, the COVID-19 epidemic had a huge impact on the industry, interrupting supply chains, temporarily closing mills, and producing demand variations. While traditional printing and writing paper segments declined as a result of growing digitalization, the packaging sector expanded significantly, led by the rapid growth of e-commerce and online shopping. This transition pushed manufacturers to respond by focusing on sustainable packaging solutions, which aligned with worldwide environmental trends. Recycling technology breakthroughs, the development of biodegradable packaging materials, and the use of digital tools to optimize manufacturing processes are among the innovations in Colombia’s pulp and paper business.
