Introduction • World paper and board markets overview Emerging markets Substitution • India and Turkey as a market – Demand – Supply Supply Opportunities & Challenges – Substitution – Entrants (investment) – Market opportunities and challenges • Conclusions 2 PIMA/TAPPI Leadership Conference Entrants Demand Key Messages India and other emerging markets provide the next growth market to be pursued after the China boom. • Asian demand growth continues to dominate the global industry and opens opportunities in long term growth markets. India • India yet plays a small role, with potential to expand much further. • Need to improve industry competitiveness through investments. Consolidation and capacity restructuring is an avenue for growth. • International acquisition opportunities exist but need to be driven by a clear strategy. • Raw materials remains a major issue but the industry can still grow without total control over pulp supply. Turkey • Growth stage market due to positive developments in key economic drivers and structural changes both in the industry and market environment. 3 PIMA/TAPPI Leadership Conference World Paper and Board Markets Overview Global Paper and Board Consumption Asia is already as large a market as Europe or North America Rest of World 11% China 15% Rest of Asia 8% India 2% Europe 26% Japan 10% North America 28% Total Consumption: 358 million tons (2005) 5 PIMA/TAPPI Leadership Conference Global Paper and Board Demand Growth to 2020 All of the industry growth in the future will be concentrated in the developing markets.

Paper and Board Market cycle stage • Markets in developed countries are mature or declining • Paper and board markets are in the growth stage in developing countries – Population growth – GDP growth – Urbanization Paper and Board Market hot spots with positive growth • Asia – China –”the big boom” – India –”the next boom” – Other smaller markets: Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia • Eastern Europe • Latin America 10 PIMA/TAPPI Leadership Conference Emerging Markets India Key Facts An emerging economy with growing significance in the global economy. • • • • • • Area: 3,287,590 sq km Population: 1,095 million Population growth rate: +1.4% Median age: 24.9 years Literacy rate: 59.5% GDP: $875.9 billion – Average 10 year growth rate of 7%, reducing poverty by about 10%.

However, tariff spikes in sensitive categories, including agriculture, and incremental progress on economic reforms still hinder foreign access to India's vast and growing market. • Privatization of government-owned industries continues to generate political debate.

Average machine capacity is low and old. • The paper and board industries in India and Turkey are yet firmly in the hands of local companies – Global paper industry players have not gained strong production asset position in India or Turkey • Company size in both markets is small in comparison to global players – Both India and Turkey have history of government ownership in the forest industry, but privatization is in progress – Indian paper industry is highly fragmented • Paper machines in India and Turkey have low capacity with high technical age • India can compete China in paper and board production with competitively scaled machines – Imported pulp supports the competitiveness 26 PIMA/TAPPI Leadership Conference Substitution Substitution Trends Threatening Paper and Board Consumption The global paper substitution from electronic communication and plastics in packaging are present but not as prevailing in the emerging markets. Paper based vs. Electronic communication Electronic communications infrastructure • Communication technology infrastructure is not readily available in non-urban areas • Developing countries such as India are unlikely able to leap straight to the IT enabled communication and media mode and by pass the traditional paper intensive mode The Internet • In India 3.5% of population has access to the Internet – Share growing aggressively in urban areas • In Turkey the Internet penetration is 21% – Lower than in Europe in general Paper based vs. Plastic packaging materials • Growth in use of packaged goods as life style changes (urbanization) and manufacturing off-shoring from developed countries increase need for packaging materials • Global trends for plastic substitution in many end-use applications – Cost advantage (increases in oil price level the advantage): production & transportation – Innovation advantage: production & end-product differentiation Source: Internet World Statis 28 PIMA/TAPPI Leadership Conference Entrants Global Paper and Board Industry Concentration In India top five producers hold 24% market share. Lack of industry consolidation makes entry by new players relatively easy. Turkey has higher consolidation rate with 39% top five market share. 100 Regional market share of top 5 1995 2005 80 60 40 20 0 North America Source: Pöyry Consulting 30 PIMA/TAPPI Leadership Conference Western Europe Japan Non-Japan Asia Latin America Global Acquisition and Investment Activity Consolidation has not been the major driver in the industry’s development in Asia. Industry investments have flown towards building and upgrading capacity instead of acquisitions. North America, Europe and Japan China and Rest of Asia Acquisitions 10 % Acquisitions 55 % Fixed Investments Source: Pöyry Consulting 31 PIMA/TAPPI Leadership Conference 45 % 90 % Fixed Investments Market Entrants Low consolidation provides attractive market entry opportunities especially in India. Exports to Turkey from high cost efficiency locations could provide an attractive entry opportunity. Barriers to entry • Lowered since the markets are opening to foreign capital • Old fragmented assets are available on the market Foreign investment in local capacity • Common to gain assets through first established joint venture or strategic alliance • Assets are acquired after initial testing and learning period Imports • Imports are at moderate volume level but growing in both markets • India is a net importer – Paper and board imports have increased by 30% since 2001 • Turkey is a strong net importer – Paper and board imports have nearly tripled since 2001 Increased foreign investment expected 32 PIMA/TAPPI Leadership Conference Conclusions Paper and Board Demand and Supply Development Both markets are unsaturated markets in terms of consumption and production. There is a long-term opportunity to increase capacity and restructure the industry. India forecasted demand supply balance 20 15 10 Million tons Turkey forecasted demand supply balance 10 Million tons Forecast Consumption Further capacity increase or import opportunity (2.5 million tons) Further capacity increase or import opportunity (10 million tons) Current Consumption Planned capacity Forecast Consumption 5 Current Consumption Current capacity Current imports 5 Current capacity Current production Current production 0 0 2005 Source: Pöyry Consulting 34 PIMA/TAPPI Leadership Conference 2020 2005 2020 Conclusions • Both India and Turkey are at the market growth stage, offering opportunities for long-term viability and market development. • Demand is growing due to positive developments in several key socioeconomic drivers. – GDP, household income, education level, urbanization, industrial production, privatization • Production structure has improved significantly in Asia, but India lags behind. Some investment risks must be taken… • Local producers have strong hold of the fragmented markets. Instead of jumping the bandwagon, need for strategy 35 PIMA/TAPPI Leadership Conference Thank You!
