Impact of Covid-19 on China Containerboard Market

The outbreak of Covid-19 has had a huge impact on the global economy and the container board market is also under pressure. The supply and demand, profit, cost, inventory and other aspects of China's containerboard industry have fluctuated considerably. At the same time, with the continuous fluctuation of domestic prices, imported paper is still waiting for the opportunity to enter the market.
