Ultra toilet paper is produced using TAD technology in which during drying the paper air is blown into the fibres. US is extensively using TAD technology in the production of tissue papers. For instance, Valmet is using eTAD Technology which produces soft, improved bulk and absorbency products with lower energy consumption and a sustainable process. This will give access for premium and ultra-premium tissue markets to the tissue manufacturers.
Instability in the pulp prices affects the tissue paper manufacturing restraining the tissue paper manufacturing market. The high pulp prices increase the tissue prices by 10%, which decreases the volume of tissue paper sold. Instability in pulp prices can be observed following imbalance between the pulp supply and demand caused due to various factors like seasonal demand, foreign producers’ influence in several markets and more. The price of hardwood pulp which is used in manufacturing of tissues and toilet paper raised by 60% between 2016 and 2018 owing to the increase in demand by China which is considered to be the largest consumer of pulp globally. In 2016, pulp prices were low following the slow economic growth of China. US-China trade war is expected to further complicate the price of pulp. Price of the toilet paper whose major composition is pulp, is affected primarily by the changes in the price of pulp which is expected to hinder the market growth.
