Recent changes in pulp and paper manufacturing have led to significant developments in the pulp and paper automation sector. Pulp and paper manufacturers have been under constant pressure to reduce costs, particularly due to the rising prices of energy and raw materials. This has resulted in an increasing reliance on automation solutions that ramp up production while reducing operational expenditures. Until a few years ago, the focus of paper mills was primarily on increasing efficiency and production utilization rates. However, the pandemic resulted in the acceleration of digitization, an extraordinary drop in the demand for graphic, newsprint, and printing paper, a boost to the packaging sector, and increased demand for hygiene-related paper products. These developments revolutionized pulp and paper manufacturing, giving rise to innovative business opportunities for automation providers. The analysis segments the pulp and paper automation sector in the following manner:
• Automation product line: Distributed control systems (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLC), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), flowmeters, manufacturing execution systems (MES), asset performance management (APM), valves, advanced process controllers (APC), enterprise asset management (EAM), sensors and transmitters, operator training systems (OTS), vision systems, services, and others.
• Region: North America and Latin America (NALA), Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (MEA), and the Asia-Pacific (APAC).
• End application: Paper, board, tissue, pulp, and others
