Resilience, Efficiency, & Sustainability: How Bioindustry Leaders Are Looking at 2025, Paper360º July/August 2025

The bioindustry entered 2025 under a cloud of economic and regulatory uncertainty. A recent global survey by AFRY of more than 150 executives across the pulp, paper, and packaging sectors reveals a clear realignment of priorities. Cost inflation, regulatory headwinds, and market volatility are pushing companies to shift from growth-focused strategies to ones rooted in operational resilience, cost efficiency, and sustainable innovation.

Macroeconomic uncertainty tops the list of executive concerns. As shown in Figure 1, more than 75 percent of respondents identified inflation-related cost pressures and broader economic instability as the primary risks to their businesses. This trend underscores the need for tighter cost control and greater margin management across the value chain.
