- International Competition—Canadian pulp and paper producers can expect increased competition from South America and China, where labour is cheap and economies of scale are higher because of super-sized mills.
- Mill Closures—Canadian companies closed more plants in 2006, to cut costs and help limit inventory gains. But although shutdowns hurt production in the short term, they pave the way to a more stable future.
- Printing and Writing Paper—Rising office and services employment and the personal printer are all contributing to increased demand for this grade of paper in Canada and the United States.
