A year ago, customers were stripping shelves bare of toilet paper and other essential items at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, consumers may face a new shortage, as well as price increases, but this time it is not the fault of the virus outbreak.
According to reports, rising wood prices are causing the price of toiletries to go up as companies scramble to get the wood pulp that is used to produce toilet paper.
The price of pulp is on the rise for various reasons, including global shipping delays and a slow recovery from COVID in some of the countries largely responsible for purchasing wood pulp to produce paper.
Just when you thought you were in the clear to stock up on toilet paper again, wood pulp, the primary raw material used to make, it is getting more expensive. We ve never seen monthly price increases like this in the history of the business, said Brian McClay, a pulp industry analyst. It s unheard of. Prices for market pulp have jumped from $606 USD per metric ton in September to more than $907 per metric ton in April, McClay said. A combination of factors has driven prices higher, including a post-COVID recovery in China, the biggest buyer of pulp in the world, and global shipping delays, he said.
