Thailand HS 47-48 paper and pulp exports (2020-2024)
USD 1.57B (2024)
Thailand's combined exports of pulp (HS 47) and paper/paperboard (HS 48) reached approximately USD 1.57 billion in 2024 per Trading Economics compilation of Thai Customs data. The aggregate has been broadly stable in the USD 1.4-1.8B band across 2020-2024, with 2022 peaking near USD 1.9B during the global pulp/paper price spike. Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia, China, and Malaysia are the largest destinations; Phoenix Pulp (eucalyptus BHKP) and SCGP's containerboard/kraftliner mills generate most of the basket. The 2025 export profile is tracking weaker on softer Asian containerboard pricing.
