Why are Kraftliner - US West Prices so high?
09-12-2025 - The current market landscape presents a complex picture with mixed signals. The forecast indicates a potential price decrease of $1.0/t for raw materials, driven by demand data from the Global Economy. However, this is counterbalanced by Flows and Technical data, which suggest upward pressure on prices, resulting in an overall uncertain market outlook.
In contrast, recent analyses of the FOEX Kraftliner market predict imminent price increases. Notably, SCA has announced a €60 per tonne price hike for both brown and white kraftliner in Europe, effective May 1, 2025. This decision is attributed to strong market demand and ongoing cost pressures. This announcement reflects a differing perspective from external sources compared to the forecasted price decrease.
Overall, the market is characterized by uncertainty, with conflicting signals from various data sources. While the forecast suggests a potential decrease in raw material prices, the kraftliner market is poised for price increases, highlighting the complexity and variability in current market conditions.
