40% Hike in the Newsprint Price due to Raw material cost
The print industry seems to be heading towards a possible crisis with a price hike in newsprint because of the increasing raw material cost and China imposing a ban on imports of 24 types of rubbish including paper waste, in its campaign against environmental pollution.
Newsprint, a low-cost non-archival paper consisting mainly of wood pulp, is most commonly used to print newspapers, publications and advertising material. There has been an almost 40 per cent spike in its price since the crisis began last year.
China, the world’s largest paper recycler, produced about 63.3 million tons of waste paper pulp in 2016, according to the China Paper Association (CPA), with about 24 per cent of it produced from imported waste paper. “In the last six to nine months, the prices have increased. Also, the newsprint prices have gone through cyclicality over decades. However, the spike in price in the recent months is because of China,” said Pradeep Dwivedi, CEO, Sakal Media Group to exchange4media.
