Why are Pulp NBSK - Europe Prices so high?
30-01-2026 - The current market landscape presents a mixed picture. The forecast suggests that raw material prices are likely to experience upward pressure. This is primarily influenced by Flows data, with significant contributions from Exchange Rates and Seaborne Imports & Exports. However, Demand data indicates a downward trend, revealing a lack of consensus among different data types.
In contrast, recent analyses of the US Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (NBSK) pulp market show stability, with prices remaining steady at $700-730 per tonne as of January 21, 2026. This stability points to a neutral outlook for the NBSK market in the short term. This contradicts the forecasted price increase to $1,324.3 per tonne, as suggested by external sources.
Overall, while the forecast anticipates rising raw material costs, the current stability in the NBSK pulp market suggests a more balanced outlook, with differing opinions on future price movements.
