Launch of price assessments for domestic Indonesia recycled linerboard, recycled medium/fluting

Fastmarkets has launched two monthly price assessments for recycled testliner and medium/fluting on a delivered Indonesia basis on Friday October 10.

After a one-month consultation period, which ended on Wednesday October 8, Fastmarkets has decided to launch the two new containerboard prices to enhance its coverage of the Indonesian market.

Indonesia, with Southeast Asia’s biggest economy and a gross domestic product of $1.4 trillion, has thriving e-commerce and export sectors which depend on corrugated packaging.

The containerboard market is expected to grow, with the domestic economy bolstering the corrugated packaging market.

Challenges from oversupply of containerboard due to a dampened Chinese economy, internal market issues and reduced Ramadan spending persist, which create unique market dynamics, providing a basis for newsworthy reports and assessments.

The specifications for the new prices are as follows:

FP-CTB-0210, Containerboard, testliner, recycled linerboard 125 g/square meter, delivered Indonesia, Rupiah/kg

Quantity: 20 to 35 tonnes
Location: Indonesia
