Finally, fluctuations in global pulp prices and currency exchange rates can impact the cost structure and profitability of this industry.
The Malaysia paper and pulp market witnessed a mixed impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. While there was a surge in demand for tissue and packaging materials, the decline in office and printing paper demand offset some of the gains.
