According to a report from Publishers Weekly, Simon & Schuster is facing the issue due to the massive “paper crunch” in the book publishing industry. Apparently, more people started ordering books during the pandemic which led to a decrease in paper supply. Also, a lot of people left their jobs at paper plants causing an ongoing labor shortage.
Midland Paper Vice President, Bill Rojack had earlier shed light on the same saying, “I’ve been doing this for 25 years and I’ve never seen a market like this before.” He added, “This is more than a market cycle. It is a structural transformational sea change that happened so much faster than anybody expected because of Covid.”
