Graphic papers production in the U.S. 1961-2022
The United States produced 8.2 million metric tons of graphic papers in 2022, which was the lowest production volume since 1961. Graphic papers production in the North American country experienced a considerable growth until the turn of the century, reaching a peak of 30.9 million metric tons in 1997. However, production has been in decline since then, with digitalization playing a key role in falling demand.
