Global Distribution of Pulp Export Destinations to the US in 2024.

In 2024, the United States retained its position as the world’s second-largest pulp exporter (after Brazil) with a total value of $5.959 billion, representing 15% of global exports—a 5% decline from 2023. The export market exhibits a distinctive pattern of centralized leadership and regional segmentation:  

Core Markets:  

  - China remained the top destination at $1.174 billion (19.7%), though down 27.2% year-on-year.  

  - Mexico rose to second place at $746 million (12.5%), up 18.7% year-on-year.  

  Together, these two markets contributed 32.2% of total exports, forming a mutually complementary dynamic to balance market fluctuations.  

Key Echelons:  

  - First Tier (5%-10% share): Japan ($424 million, 7.1%), Canada ($393 million, 6.6%), and Indonesia ($340 million, 5.7%) collectively account for 19.4%.  

  - Second Tier (<5% share): Eleven countries, including India, Germany, and Italy, represent 26.6% of exports. Among these, 6 EU member states (e.g., Germany, Italy, Poland) contributed $1.076 billion (18.1%), underscoring regional collaborative procurement efforts.
