What drives Paper, Board & Packaging on the PSX
Packaging companies supply consumer-goods manufacturers, so their volumes track FMCG demand rather than any single end market. Input costs — pulp, paper and resins — are largely imported and internationally priced, while contracts with customers may reprice slowly, compressing margins when input costs spike.
What to watch
- Imported pulp, paper and resin prices, plus the rupee.
- FMCG demand, which sets packaging volumes.
- Energy costs in an energy-intensive process.
- Ability to pass through cost increases to customers.
