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.
