Beschreibungen/Notizen
Supply and demand for the coated mechanical paper used in magazines have been spiraling downward since the late 2000s, but the declines have started to level off in recent months. Demand has suffered as magazines have cut folio sizes and frequency, downgraded paper weights and moved more assets to digital; suppliers have played catch-up by reducing capacity through shutdowns. That dynamic has played out with consistent year-over-year declines in shipments and a steady dip in prices. Both of those trends are starting to ease up though. Offerings have also shrunk as a byproduct of the capacity reductions. That's not necessarily a bad thing for publishers. It can offer opportunities to save on production costs with minimal impact on quality. The recently approved merger between NewPage and Verso could act as a major stabilizing force as well as the combined company seeks to control costs.
