After the Spring Festival every year, it was originally a traditional low season for the paper industry, but what surprised the industry was that the price of domestic waste paper has been skyrocketing all the way against the market. Since April, waste paper has entered an upward channel, and prices have been rising.
Looking at the price trend of packaging paper, different voices appeared.
There is a view that the corrugated base paper is currently in a tepid state and has gradually entered a descending channel. Some paper mills even issued price reduction letters.
Moreover, since it reached its peak in mid-March, it has continued to decline. Although there are two nodes of price increase letters issued by small and medium-sized paper mills in April, there is still no way to pull the price of corrugated base paper back to the upward channel.
On the one hand, it is the off-season after all, on the other hand, it is also related to the downstream manufacturers' rational purchase. Even if price increase letters are introduced into the market, some small and medium-sized paper mills have begun to destock through price reductions. The price of packaging paper has been rising and falling in April.
However, there are also views: from April 23 to April 24, many paper mills in Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong and other provinces and cities announced price increases, with an increase of 50-100 yuan / ton.
And from April to the present, although there have been many fluctuations in the price of packaging paper, the overall trend is still showing a volatile upward trend. According to the information disclosed by various paper mills, packaging mills and paper analysts, the price of packaging paper may rise easily and fall under the strong support of waste paper prices and the gradual recovery of market demand. Price trend.
In response to the two statements, experts suggest that regardless of whether the market is up or down or whether paper price increase letters are frequently issued, packaging companies should strengthen market attention, arrange procurement plans reasonably, and be prepared to meet demand during the peak season.
