La inflación ejerce una enorme presión sobre la industria gráfica

El impacto de COVID-19 aún no ha disminuido, y el estallido de la guerra ruso-ucraniana ha provocado un aumento adicional en los costos de energía. Los precios del combustible, las materias primas de los productos y la logística continúan aumentando, y muchas industrias enfrentan una inflación severa.

Muchas imprentas, sin embargo, están notando que sus costos aumentan significativamente más rápido.
Según una encuesta de más de 300 impresores realizada por el semanario de la industria de la impresión Printweek, casi un tercio (32 %) dijo que había experimentado aumentos de costos de más del 20 % en los últimos 12 meses. Casi siete de cada 10 (68%) tenían una tasa superior al 10%.

The printing industry supports hundreds of life-related activities and sustains the flow of information, journalism, entertainment, education, advertising, packaging, and apparel. For a long time, pulp prices have risen sharply and production capacity has been reduced. We are seeing continued high prices for paper. This is one of the main reasons for the increased cost.

Over the past two years, many paper groups have reduced capacity by shutting down machines or switching to packaging grades. Yet demand is rebounding to pre-pandemic levels. Not being able to print will cause huge financial losses. Large printing companies and packaging converters have begun to inform their customers of a future paper crisis due to tight global supplies of key paper types.

The Russia-Ukraine crisis further pushed up fuel prices, with energy sector commodity prices soaring. Solent's fuel surcharge has increased from 6% to 14% in the past six months, and its electricity and gas bills have doubled recently when the company had to renegotiate contracts.

The cost of shipping pulp and paper has increased as fuel prices have risen, while under the new normal, capacity has fallen, but shipping costs have skyrocketed due to surging demand.

Understanding all the factors surrounding the paper industry can prove that even small market changes can affect global supply and demand as well as overall costs. From determining overall cost to product availability, the above factors play a role in the pulp and paper market and will continue to shape the industry in the years to come.
