The increased consumption of chemical wood pulp is expected to be one of the key drivers for the growth of the market in focus. Chemical wood pulp is a lignocellulosic fibrous material, which is produced by separating cellulose fibers from wood. Chemical wood pulp helps to produce high-quality paper. The semi-chemical pulping process makes neutral solutions that are used to cook the wood chips. This process makes use of sodium sulfite, sodium hydroxide, and sodium carbonate solution. This is done through different methods like sulfite kraft and semi-chemical pulping methods. The price of the semi-chemical wood pulp is lower than other chemical methods. This method makes the fiber very strong and improves the quality of the pulp. Semi-chemical wood pulping is used for manufacturing tissue, fine paper, cartons, magazines, and paperboards. Thus, the increased consumption of such chemical wood pulp will drive the growth of the market.
