Germany: Market for envelope/mailing envelope paper continues to shrink

For example, the order situation for envelope manufacturers has stabilized - albeit at a low level. “At least things aren’t going any further downhill,” explains an industry insider in an interview with EUWID after the second and third quarters of weak demand. In terms of the volume sold, the market is roughly at the same level as the previous year, even if the market continues to shrink, explains an industry insider.

In the period between October and December, the market was sufficiently supplied with goods. The supply significantly exceeds the demand, so the rapid availability of both business paper and shipping envelope paper is not a problem.
