Keeping up to date in the ever-shifting landscape of the forest industry is crucial for professionals to make sense of the market

Forest products markets are experiencing increasing volatility. Whether you are buying, selling or trading commodities, it is vital to have absolute clarity in the price data.

Fastmarkets is a trusted source of impartial information on the market. As a neutral, third-party price reporting agency (PRA) we create benchmarks for the industry that both buyers and sellers can trust.

There are several factors we see as likely to drive market movements in the coming months and years:

  • Political uncertainties and regulatory change faced by the leading eurozone economies
  • Trump’s tariffs on the United States’ major trade partners
  • The potential of growing divergence between Europe and the US, affecting market stability
  • The increasing use of recycled materials and the competition against plastics M&A, technological innovations and capacity changes

These are big challenges and opportunities. How can impartial, neutral price data that truly reflects market sentiment help businesses navigate price volatility? How can firms keep up to date with the shifting landscape of industry, and make sense of trading decisions? How will macroeconomic shifts impact key commodities’ price forecasts?

These are some of the questions we will answer in this whitepaper with insights from leading industry experts. You can fill in the form above to download the whitepaper.
