Short and long-term forecasts

We provide a combination of high frequency short-term forecasts and lower frequency, highly detailed long-term forecasts covering all key sector variables by grade category, including shipments, capacity and operating rates to keep customers updated on latest market developments.

Global trade flow intelligence

Regional boxboard and cartonboard markets are becoming increasingly interconnected through global trade. Numera’s proprietary databases allow monitoring of global import and export flows, with data carefully vetted and sorted to fit the product classifications commonly used in the industry.

End-use focus

Numera’s forecasting is underpinned by a granular analysis of the end-use markets, with a focus on consumer nondurables, including food and beverage. Our end-use coverage is further supplemented by our Custom Research and Macro functions.

Unbiased price and cost reporting

Unlike traditional survey-based price reporting agencies, Numera publishes unbiased boxboard and cartonboard price estimates. They are derived through dynamic modelling of border transactions, specifically intended for use in forecasting and benchmarking applications. Our prices also allow for proper accounting of spot transactions, discounts and rebates as well as monitoring effective pass-through of announced price changes. Get in touch for a list of published prices or to discuss customized price reporting needs.
