Document Highlights

  • E-readers—E-readers and tablet computers are now reaching a critical mass of saturation among consumers, leading to declines in the sales of paper books.
  • Print Ad Spending—A post-recession rebound in print ad spending has not materialized in the key U.S. market, where demand for newsprint and communication papers continues to wane.
  • Pulp Prices—Pulp prices dropped considerably in the second half of 2011, driving down production and revenues. Prices have begun to recover, but the benefits will be slow to materialize for domestic producers.

L'industrie est aux prises avec d'importants problèmes structurels, du moins au Québec

Les documents de perspectives industrielles sont trés intéressant et présentent plusieurs statistiques pertinentes. Ils identifient également les facteurs clés qui influenceront l'évolution de l'industrie. Il serait peut-être intéressant d'ajouter une perspective provinciale car les marchés et les facteurs influençant l'évolution de l'industrie varient passablement d'une province à l'autre selon le type de production et les marchés exploités.
