Strong growth predicted for specialty papers: CPPA Canadian capacity to manufacture printing and writing papers is forecast to increase by 406,000 tonnes by 1987 according to a report issued recently by the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association. For this. family of products, this represents an increase of nearly 20 per cent over 1984 levels and underscores the industry's trend toward the produc- tion of higher value grades of paper products. Capacity growth for market pulp and container board are also expected to show significant increases. Newsprint, kraft papers, boxboard, and other pro- duct groups will register more modest increases. For paper and board as a whole, capacity is expected to reach 16.9 million ton- nes in 1987, a4 per cent in- crease over the 1984 level of 16.3 million tonnes. The 30 per cent capaci- ty increase for groundwood printing and specialty papers, an important com- ponent of the printing and writing papers group, will come about primarily as a result of conversions from newsprint production in Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia. Book, writing, and other papers, a category. which covers. a wide range of papers, is also expected to show a substantial capacity in- crease -- more than 11 per cent -- as a result of new machine installations and improvements to existing capacity in Ontario and British Columbia. Market pulp capacity is expected to reach 8,057,000 tonnes by the end of 1987, a 5 per cent increase over the 1984 level. Canada is the world' slargest producer of market pulp, accounting for 28 percent of world capacity; over 90 per cent of this production is ex- ported. Modest growth is forecast for newsprint capacity. An increase of 180,000 tonnes is expected between 1984 and 1987. Additional capacity and a new machine will be large- ly offset by machine retirements and conver- sions to higher-value grades. As a result of the in- stallation of a new machine in Ontario and im- provements at several mills, container-board capacity is forecast to show a significant increase. An additional 87,000 tonnes, nearly 5 per cent more than 1984 industry capacity, is expected to come on stream by 1987. Other grades of paper and board such as sanitary papers, kraft papers, and boxboard will show in- creases in capacity resulting from im- provements at a number of mills. Increases are modest and range from 2 to 4 per cent over 1984-1987 period. Total pulp capacity is expected to reach over 24.7 million tonnes by the end of 1987, an increase of 860,000 tonnes or 3.6 per cent over the 1984 level.
