Largest boxboard market with changing trade outlook:
China is the largest boxboard market in the world, with imports and exports recording nearly 0.75 million tonnes and 1.6 million tonnes in 2021. For virgin grades, expanding supply surplus will prompt more space for increasing exports, while recycled grades expects some rebounds in imports。

New Phase in China’s domestic market:
China market would need a more in-depth study compared to a general global study as the end use market demand, policy, and pricing factors here are very different from the rest of world. NPC Partners' report is also the only one tracking China boxboard market for years.
