Join Fastmarkets, the leading price reporting agency (PRA) for paper packaging, and Vesper, the market intelligence and forecasting platform, for a joint webinar designed for Food & Beverage manufacturers.

Shifting demand, regulatory pressure, fibre availability, and rising sustainability expectations are driving unprecedented pressure on packaging costs, yet many food and beverage teams still lack a trusted, forward-looking market view to inform pricing, contracts, and forecasts.

In this session, you’ll learn how food and beverage companies use IOSCO-aligned price benchmarks, forward-looking market signals, and short-term forecasting (STF) to:

• Navigate market volatility
• Improve budgeting and cost allocation
• Strengthen supplier negotiations
• Reduce supply and margin risk
  
  

We’ll also share a focused outlook on paper packaging market trends, highlighting what procurement and finance teams should watch in the months ahead, and what it means for 2026 planning.

✅ A clear understanding of how paper packaging price benchmarks are built, and why IOSCO alignment matter;

✅ Practical insight into day-to-day benchmark use, from contract indexation to internal cost allocation;

✅ A forward-looking view of risks, sustainability pressures, and demand trends
