COVID-19 Trends Industry Outlook & Market Data Report

The COVID-19 Trends Industry Outlook & Market Data Report is a compilation and analysis of industry data prepared exclusively for Paperboard Packaging Council members by Fastmarkets RISI, an independent economic consulting firm.

The forecasts and outlook analyses contained in the Report are prepared solely and exclusively by Fastmarkets RISI without input from Paperboard Packaging Council or its members.


While the annual Trends Report focuses on the large-scale progression of folding carton shipments to end-use markets, the Covid-19 Trends Report will provide a microscopic view of the market. The report will focus on the monthly development of how industrial production, consumer spending, trade and folding carton shipments are responding to the pandemic. End-use risk matrices will be introduced, allowing further understanding of the demand outlook for folding carton in different end-use markets. Also, Lasse will provide a descriptive macroeconomic chapter, shedding light on the key drivers, with focus on the near term outlook.

This concept will provide PPC and its members with an early look at the impacts of Covid-19, followed by the full Trends Report delivered in November/December
