Oversupply Clouds Duplex Grey Back Market, Buyers Hold Back Purchases

Price WatchTM reports easing supply conditions and moderate demand are reshaping the pricing environment across key Indian markets.

India's Duplex Grey Back Board market is currently experiencing a balanced-to-soft trend following a period of upward price movement driven by cost-side pressures and supply constraints. According to Price WatchTM, improved material availability and cautious downstream buying behavior are now the defining features of market sentiment.

Previous Bullish Phase Driven by Cost and Supply Pressures

Prior to the current stabilization, the Indian market witnessed meaningful price gains. Imported OCC (Old Corrugated Container) prices rose significantly, while higher coal, power, and freight costs elevated overall manufacturing expenses for domestic paper mills. The depreciation of the Indian rupee against the US dollar further increased landed costs for buyers dependent on overseas supply.

Logistical disruptions and inconsistent container availability from Asian exporting countries tightened import flows, while mills operated at controlled rates, limiting spot availability. Strong demand from packaging converters, FMCG companies, and consumer goods manufacturers supported trader and stockist confidence in maintaining firm offers during this period.

Market Dynamics Shift as Supply Returns

The landscape has since changed. Domestic mills have resumed normal operations, and import shipments from Asian suppliers have stabilized, easing earlier availability concerns. Distributors are now offering more competitive pricing to maintain turnover, while buyers have adopted a cautious, requirement-based procurement approach amid uncertainty in finished goods demand.

Recovered paper prices have also stabilized globally, reducing immediate raw material cost pressure. The combined effect of improved supply and measured demand has removed the conditions that previously supported aggressive pricing.

Near-Term Outlook

Price WatchTM anticipates the Duplex Grey Back Board market will remain stable-to-soft in the near term. Comfortable inventory levels, regular domestic mill operations, and steady import flows are expected to limit sharp price fluctuations in either direction. While end-users may benefit from the current competitive pricing environment, traders holding higher-cost inventories face continued margin pressure.
