Shanghai Pulp Week is held annually in the third week of March, with the 2026 edition set for March 16–20. 

2026 SPW Annual Meeting（with Luncheon & Dinner , March 18) and 2026 SPW Tissue Paper Symposium (March 19) will both take place at the Shanghai Marriott Marquis City Centre. 

The global pulp and paper industry currently stands at a critical crossroads. While the  imbalance between pulp supply and demand intensifies and paper market demand  continues to decline,several factors are emerging as threats to the industry’s healthy  development and market stability. These include climate change, shifting global trade policies, and the fragmentation of integrated forestry-pulp-paper models in Europe. Of particular concern is the rapid expansion of China’s integrated pulp and paper capacity, which has sparked industry-wide anxieties regarding woodchip quality and supply consistency, as well as the resulting impact on pulp product quality. 

Centering on the theme of "High-Quality and Sustainable Supply," this year's Shanghai Pulp Week aims to draw industry-wide attention to the critical issues of premium pulp and paper products and the sustainability of raw material sourcing. We seek to guide enterprises in prioritizing product quality and sustainable supply chains as their foundational pillars and core competitive advantages amidst intensifying market competition. 

2026 SPW Annual Meeting will explore the global economic outlook, the evolving pulp and paper landscape, regional market shifts, and downstream trends, with a specific focus on addressing supply-demand imbalances and future raw material potential. By convening a distinguished panel of economists, industry titans, and leading experts for addresses and dialogues, we aim to uncover new pathways for driving high-quality industrial growth and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the global supply chain.
