8. Economic and Industry Dynamics
The price of carbon paper for logbooks has gone up so much that making logbooks by the regulator is going to be at some point, no longer feasible. Here’s why:
– Supply Chain Disruptions: Global supply chain issues have increased production costs and reduced the supply of raw materials for carbon paper.
– Increased Demand for Raw Materials: High demand across multiple industries has driven prices up, affecting niche products like carbon paper.
– Inflationary Pressures: Rising fuel prices, higher wages, and increased shipping costs contribute to higher production and distribution costs for paper logbooks. The administrative cost is no longer competitive for transport businesses either.
– Decline in Paper Industry: The shift towards digital solutions has reduced demand for paper products. Many of the institutions that used to function on paper no longer require it, leading to closure of production facilities and higher prices for logbook components.
– Environmental Regulations: Stricter regulations have increased production costs for many paper products. – Economies of Scale: Reduced production of carbon paper leads to higher per-unit costs due to smaller production runs.
