Pulp Production Thrives in Latin America

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Latin America dominates kraft pulp production, with a leading role in the global market. It is expected that several millions of tons of pulp will be available in the years ahead as more projects reach operation.

As a world leader in pulp exports, Brazil has attracted large investments, especially in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. The region has become a key destination for the construction of new pulp mills, aspiring to the title of "Pulp Valley."

There are many investments planned as part of an industrial transformation within the state. As a result, the pulp market should boost the economy of the entire sector.

In 2024, the Brazilian giant Suzano will commence operations at its Cerrado plant, thus reaffirming its leadership in the region. For more on the project, subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Pulp & Paper Project Database can click here for a detailed project report.

Another project in Brazil, further ahead, is Arauco´s new pulp plant in Inocencia, scheduled for 2028. The Chilean company´s plant should have the capacity to produce 2.5 million tons of pulp, which could double the current production levels in the state.
