at mid-year. Given that zero metrics justify another round of price increases, it raises questions about the producers’ strategy. If supply, demand, mill operating rates, inventories and input costs no longer matter, why not just raise prices monthly, weekly or even daily, like gas prices? And why ask for $70 a ton each time? Why not double or triple that? It sounds absurd, but perhaps that’s the point: The best defense is a good offense. The industry manages to avoid talk of falling prices by continually asking for more. Ryan spent 10 years in packaging sales before jumping into industry reporting in 2020 with Bloomberg’s Green Markets. In 2022, he joined Bloomberg Intelligence as its corrugated-market analyst while remaining managing ed- itor of the Green Markets Box Report. The monthly pub- lication draws on insights from hundreds of packaging professionals to offer a unique forward-looking synopsis of box producers’ sentiment surrounding box demand. Ry- an’s content can be found on the Bloomberg Terminal and in the Green Markets Box Report. In 2024, Ryan introduced Bloomberg’s Corrugated Box Cost Index, which aims to provide buyers with a more transparent approach to assessing the relationship be- tween input costs and changes in box prices.
