Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025
Northeast Asia: In Northeast Asia, corrugated paper prices rose on the back of steady packaging demand, particularly from the e-commerce and retail industries. Elevated consumption from the food and beverage sector further supported procurement levels. The corrugated paper price index also reflected stronger seasonal buying as distributors replenished inventories. Stable raw material supply from recycled fiber sources allowed producers to maintain consistent operations, ensuring balanced availability despite firm demand, which kept the pricing environment upward trending this quarter.
Europe: In Europe, corrugated paper prices edged up slightly due to cautious restocking activity in the packaging industry. Demand from the consumer goods and logistics sectors improved modestly, though subdued industrial consumption limited the scale of price growth. The corrugated paper price index captured stable market conditions as availability of recovered paper feedstock remained sufficient, while energy cost stabilization helped balance production margins. The overall pricing environment reflected a mild uptrend, with supply-demand fundamentals largely in equilibrium.
North America: In North America, corrugated paper prices strengthened as packaging consumption grew across the e-commerce, food, and shipping industries. Higher order volumes from distribution networks supported market demand, while the corrugated paper price index highlighted robust activity in logistics. Steady supply of recovered fiber allowed manufacturers to meet rising needs, but transportation bottlenecks added marginal cost pressures. Overall, strong procurement momentum in key end-use industries sustained the positive price trajectory in the region.
