Proposal to launch price assessments for domestic Indonesia recycled linerboard, recycled medium/fluting

Indonesia, with more than 17,000 islands and a population of about 280 million, has Southeast Asia’s biggest economy and a gross domestic product of $1.4 trillion. Its thriving e-commerce and export sectors attract global brands like Unilever, Danone, and Nestlé, driving demand for corrugated packaging.

Many key exports like textiles, rubber, crude palm oil, and fishery products depend on corrugated packaging. The containerboard market is expected to grow, with the domestic economy bolstering the corrugated packaging market.

But challenges persist in the form of an oversupply of containerboard due to a dampened Chinese economy and internal market issues, and reduced Ramadan spending. These factors create unique market dynamics, providing a basis for newsworthy reports and assessments.The proposed price specifications are as follows:

Containerboard, testliner, recycled linerboard, delivered Indonesia, Rupiah/kg
Quality: Bkraft/testliner 125 gsm basis weight
Quantity: 20 to 35 tonnes
