Research of current problems of the Ukrainian market of cellulose-paper products

Purpose. Determination of problems of development of the market of pulp and paper products, outline ways of their solution. Findings. It is established that the market of pulp and paper production is actively developing. The pulp and paper industry is an important branch of the Ukrainian economy. Ukraine is an exporter of such products to the European market, and, consequently, domestic products are competitive and high quality. However, there is an import dependence on foreign raw materials, which is expensive. With good industrial output for paper products, alternative sources of its own plant material should be sought in order to make this market more powerful. There are more than 20 enterprises that produce paper products in Ukraine, but the material and technical base of them is outdated. The most important types of pulp and paper industry products are cellulose, paper, cardboard. By volume of paper production, the leading places in the world traditionally occupy the developed countries: the USA, Japan, Canada, Germany. Its largest exporters are Canada, and some European countries - Sweden, Finland, Norway, Austria, and importers - the USA, large European countries, Japan. An important factor in changing import dependence on foreign raw materials is the search for alternative sources of own domestic raw materials for the manufacture of pulp and paper products, conducting research on technologies for the processing of such products and active introduction into production. Originality. The dynamics of export-import of pulp and paper products by Ukraine is established. The practical value. Taking into account the analysis of the Ukrainian market of pulp and paper products, we can conclude that it is promising for its development, because there are industrial capacities in our country, there is the established normative and technical basis, but there is a problem with the lack of domestic raw materials, as the main material for its production is paper waste . An important factor in changing import dependence on foreign raw materials is the search for alternative sources of own domestic raw materials for the manufacture of pulp and paper products, conducting research on technologies for the processing of such products and active introduction into production
