Under the impact of upstream raw paper price increases, a new wave of price increases in the paper packaging market has started. Since October 6th, a large number of secondary factories in multiple provinces and cities such as Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan, and Sichuan have increased the prices of cardboard and cardboard boxes by 3% -5%. At present, most domestic packaging companies have raised prices multiple times, but the cumulative increase is still generally less than the cumulative increase in raw paper.
October is the first month of the fourth quarter, an important time node in the traditional industry peak season, and also one of the most intense periods of paper price rise in the year. Under the leadership of leading paper mills, small and medium-sized paper mills have a high enthusiasm for following the trend. If the price increase of raw paper continues to strengthen in the future, the prices of cardboard and cardboard boxes will naturally rise.
However, for the third tier factory group, the upstream faces larger cardboard and paper mills, while the downstream directly contacts end customers, resulting in relatively low bargaining power throughout the entire industry chain and higher difficulty in raising the price of cardboard boxes. How to reduce cardboard procurement costs with upstream suppliers and transfer cost pressure to downstream customers is becoming a concern for every third tier factory.
