Thailand Total Paper Consumption
~4–5 Mt/yr
Thailand's total paper and paperboard consumption is estimated at 4–5 million tonnes annually, ranking it among the top three paper markets in ASEAN alongside Indonesia and Vietnam. Corrugated-containerboard and kraft-liner grades dominate, reflecting Thailand's large food-processing and export-packaging industry. The Thai Paper Manufacturers Association (TPMA) and the Forest Industry Organization (FIO) publish annual demand and production balances. Per-capita consumption of approximately 55–65 kg/year is well above regional averages but still below South Korea or Japan, leaving structural headroom for growth as e-commerce packaging demands intensify.
