By 2020, 115 paper companies will be shut down in Fuyang, “a batch of small and medium-sized paper mills will be shut down or integrated. Paper mills have lower operating rates, reduced inventory, reduced supply, and naturally higher paper prices."

Only 55.271 million tons of 71 papermaking enterprises were approved this year. The amount will drop to zero, once the domestic waste paper can not meet the demand, it will promote the price of finished paper," Chen Lijie said.

The year-on-year decrease was 67.29%.
The performance forecast released by Jingxing Paper shows that the company expects net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies in the 2018 year to be between RMB 330 million and RMB 380 million, representing a year-on-year change of -48.28% to -40.45%.
After the year, the paper price tone was up, but the increase was limited.
“The premise price of the paper mill Spring Festival is likely to be testing the downstream demand. It is still uncertain whether it can be implemented.†Independent analyst Wang Kai analyzed, “Although the market is in the peak season, the terminal demand is still insufficient, the industry inventory is high, and the new capacity will be In this case, there is a lot of pressure on the paper mill to raise prices."
"Comprehensively, the paper price may show an upward trend after the year, but the increase may be limited. The cultural paper market in June and July entered the low season of demand, and it is not possible to exclude the possibility of paper mills to make profits." Wang Kai predicted.
