Foreword

As the global economic growth slows down and the growth model undergoes profound changes, the cellulose fiber industry is facing a series of new challenges and opportunities. Currently, the global economy is experiencing a slowdown, frequent trade frictions, and significant increases in the uncertainty of transaction factors such as exchange rate fluctuations and shipping costs. At the same time, while China faces debt repayment pressures, it has also welcomed its first monetary policy easing in 15 years. These macroeconomic policy changes will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the cellulose fiber industry.
As the industry gradually moves away from an extensive growth model, understanding and practicing sustainable development has become a pressing issue for every participant in the sector. Sustainable development is not only key to addressing environmental and social challenges but also an important avenue for exploring new market opportunities. For the two main types of cellulose fibers, VSF and lyocell, how will future competitive and cooperative relationships evolve? What new technologies and types of fiber materials will emerge within the industry? Will the price difference between dissolving pulp and paper pulp continue to widen, and what impact will this have on the upstream and downstream of the industry chain?

In addition, what specific measures are leading global companies taking to adapt to these changes? What are the focal points in overseas markets? In this era of accelerated digital transformation, how can the cellulose fiber industry effectively integrate with artificial intelligence (AI) technology to enhance production efficiency and innovation capabilities?
In Apr 2025, we cordially invite industry experts, representatives from research institutions, and leaders from leading enterprises to gather together at the cellulose fiber industry forum to discuss these hot topics, future development trends, and response strategies. This forum will not only be a platform for exchanging ideas and sharing experiences but also a grand event for jointly planning the industry's development. We look forward to reuniting with you during this picturesque season to jointly open a new chapter in the cellulose fiber industry.
