Since resuming operations after the Spring Festival in 2026, Nine Dragons Paper has been sending signals of price increases, issuing new price adjustment notices every week.
On March 17, Nine Dragons Paper issued its third batch of price increase notices this month, explicitly announcing that prices will continue to rise in April, with a single increase of 50 yuan/ton. It is worth noting that Nine Dragons' multiple production bases will adjust prices in stages and batches throughout April, which to some extent reflects the paper giant's caution and planning regarding price adjustments.
Just like the price increase notices issued on March 10, Nine Dragons Paper's stated reason for this price increase remains "affected by the situation in the Middle East, energy prices have soared, leading to a significant increase in the prices of related chemical products and an increased risk of supply instability, resulting in a continuous rise in the group's operating costs."
