Paper Import Trends Reveal Growing Demand for Packaging Board

In recent years, global paper trade data has consistently shown a steady increase in demand for packaging-related paper grades. Growth in food packaging, e-commerce, and consumer goods continues to drive higher imports of packaging board across multiple markets.

Recent import figures released by Indonesia’s Ministry of Industry serve as one clear example of this broader trend. According to official data, the country’s pulp and paper imports increased year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025, reflecting the ongoing expansion of packaging applications rather than a short-term or market-specific fluctuation.

From our perspective, these import trends highlight a structural shift in the packaging paper market. Buyers are increasingly prioritizing consistent quality, stable supply, and export-ready specifications over short-term price advantages. As an international supplier of packaging board, Golden Paper focuses on white board and duplex board designed for a wide range of packaging applications, supporting customers across different regions with reliable product performance and long-term supply stability.
