  • Description: Currently, Brazil is the third largest exporter of wood pulp. The objective of present study is to analyze the market competition in the international market of wood pulp in terms of concentration and inequality during the period from 2002 to 2014. Monetary values of exports were collected on the UNCONTRADE database and deflated afterwards, considering 2012 as the base year. The Hirschman-Herfindahl Index (HHI) was used for measuring market concentration, while inequality was measured by the Gini Index (G). The world market for pulp showed a low concentration with HHI varying from 0.0918 to 0.1327, indicating an increasing participation of countries in the studied market. However, results showed that United States, Canada, Brazil, Sweden and Chile dominate the market as the Gini index number varied from 0.8874 to 0.9349.
