Global Paper Prices Rise in 2025

Golden Paper Group Takes Practical Steps to Support International Clients

ShangHai, China – June 11, 2025

In recent weeks, the global paper market has seen a new round of price increases. As a long-time paper exporter based in China, Golden Paper Group is working to maintain stable supply for international customers despite changing market conditions.

Since mid-May, prices for key paper categories—such as packaging paper and printing & writing paper—have increased by approximately 8% to 12%, according to industry data. Several factors have contributed to this trend:

Improved trade environment and increased overseas orders

Rising international logistics costs due to limited shipping space

Continued growth in demand for sustainable and eco-friendly paper products

“We’ve observed more inquiries from clients in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East,” a spokesperson from Golden Paper Group said. “Among them, food packaging and environmentally friendly papers are getting more attention.”

Steps Taken to Support Customers

In response to these market changes, Golden Paper Group has introduced several measures to reduce the impact on buyers:

Working hard to secure consistent paper supply

Optimizing transport options, including sea freight and rail logistics

Adjusting inventory levels where possible to shorten delivery time

Recommending alternative paper grades when suitable, to help manage costs

These actions are part of the company's ongoing efforts to provide practical support to its customers during uncertain times.

Growing Interest in Certified Sustainable Papers

During this period, Golden Paper Group has noticed steady demand for FSC® and PEFC-certified paper products. These certified grades are increasingly used in food packaging, consumer goods, and retail applications.

“More clients are asking about certified and recyclable paper materials, especially for packaging purposes,” the spokesperson added.
