With an apparent consumption in excess of 1.2 million tonnes of publication paper in 2019, Italy was one of the largest sales market in Europe. However, the country only has domestic production capacity for coated magazine paper. Newsprint and uncoated magazine paper demand is covered by imports.

Each month, EUWID collects and publishes market and pricing data for the Italian publication paper market, based on surveys of paper producers, traders, publishers and commercial printers. Our reporting focuses on standard and improved newsprint, LWC and SC paper.
