Global wood pulp capacities 2024, by select country
The United States' total capacity for wood pulp for paper and paperboard in 2024 was 47.68 million metric tons (air dry). Of this total, 8.75 million metric tons was for market pulp. Market pulp is produced by pulp mills and shipped to paper manufacturers that don't have their own pulp mills onsite. Non-market pulp is used by papermaking firms that have a pulp mill on site, so it can be used by within their own facilities to produce paper products.
