Flexible Packaging Europe reports partly falling and partly rising prices for flexible packaging materials in the second quarter of 2025. Geopolitics and trade tensions are influencing the market.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prices for flexible packaging materials were volatile in the second quarter of 2025. According to surveys by Flexible Packaging Europe (FPE), the price of one-side coated paper (60 g\/m\u00b2) rose by 2 % compared to the previous quarter, while aluminium foil (7 micron) fell by 4 %, BOPA film (15 micron) by 1 % and PET film (12 micron) by 2 %. The price of BOPP film (20 micron) remained stable, HDPE fell by 2 % and LDPE remained at the previous quarter's level.<\/p>\n

Market analyst Alexander Tkachenko (Wood Mackenzie)<\/strong> attributed the decline in BOPET film prices by around 5 ct\/kg primarily to higher import volumes from Asia and a strong euro. Aluminium foil fell in price by an average of 25 ct\/kg due to falling raw material and storage costs. Rising energy and production costs were responsible for paper prices.<\/p>

According to Kaushik Mitra (Chemical Market Analytics by OPIS)<\/strong> The PE markets were characterised by tariffs, geopolitical tensions and fluctuations in the price of crude oil. Following a temporary easing of the trade conflicts between the US and Europe, prices stabilised before geopolitical developments in the Middle East once again put upward pressure.<\/p>\n

FPE Managing Director Guido Aufdemkamp<\/strong> emphasised that the markets are characterised by contradictory trends. While some materials are falling, others are recording moderate increases. The first signs of stabilisation in certain applications could be a cautiously positive signal for the second half of the year.<\/p>\n
