【貿戰風雲】美國瓦楞紙箱銷售跌 冬季零售或遇寒冬




美國瓦楞紙箱銷售疲弱 預示零售商節日季銷售或失望

根據美國纖維箱協會(Fibre Box Association)最新數據顯示,今年第三季度瓦楞紙箱出貨量降至2015年以來最低水平,延續第二季度的疲軟態勢。這種包裝材料是食品、日用品及電子商務貨品運輸的關鍵,因而被視為零售需求的重要先行指標。

一般來說,瓦楞紙箱的訂單會在十月達到高峰,因為零售商會為年底節日季節做準備。不過,今年十月份的訂單量明顯偏低,多數工廠反映訂單「持平甚至低於正常水平」。這反映出零售業對節日旺季的需求不振,令人憂慮整體消費市場的表現。

同時,美國消費者信心指數跌至五個月低點,製造業活動已連續八個月收縮。包裝巨頭美國包裝公司(Packaging Corporation of America,股票代號PKG)總裁Thomas Hassfurther指出,持續的關稅政策和經濟不確定性對企業和消費者支出均帶來負面影響。

另一家主要包裝企業Smurfit Westrock(股票代號SW)報告稱,北美瓦楞紙箱銷量較去年同期下跌8.7%,導致其股價暴跌逾12%,創下自2024年7月以來的最低收盤價。國際紙業公司(International Paper,股票代號IP)也下調銷售預測,股價當日下跌近13%。

這些數據和警告顯示,零售商和消費者在面對經濟不確定性時採取更保守的態度,可能會導致今年假日季節的銷售表現不如預期。

作為香港讀者,我認為這則消息不僅反映了美國消費市場的疲軟,也暗示全球供應鏈和消費者信心可能正面臨壓力。瓦楞紙箱作為零售和物流的重要包裝材料,其需求下降直接反映了商品流通和銷售的放緩。對於香港這樣的國際貿易和零售樞紐,這種趨勢值得高度關注,因為全球經濟波動往往會迅速影響本地市場。

此外,這亦提醒投資者和企業管理層需密切關注消費者行為的變化,及早調整庫存和營銷策略,以應對可能的銷售下滑。從長遠來看,隨著經濟環境的不確定性增加,企業如何在成本控制與市場需求間取得平衡,將是決定成敗的關鍵。這亦強調了多元化和靈活應變能力的重要性,尤其是在全球經濟仍充滿挑戰的背景下。

add mickey mouse Prompt:
Use my image in Ultra-realistic, hyper-detailed, 8K cinematic portrait of a young stylish man, using the uploaded image for exact face and hairstyle.
Outfit: An oversized red knit sweater with white hearts, exactly as described in the prompt.
Pose: A hyper-realistic close-up portrait with a messy, cropped framing showing only the boy holding the book. His left hand rests on the wooden table and covers part of his cheek, with a subtle smile on his lips. His other hand holds the book titled "Something I Never Told You" with the word "YOU" written in pink, exactly as
described in the prompt. Background: Not specified. A close-up of a young man (as in the uploaded image) Dominates the right side of the frame, viewed from a low-angle perspective, giving him a powerful and imposing presence. He is wearing a simple white tank top (muscle shirt) and tan or light-yellow cargo shorts. He is holding a wooden baseball bat slung over his right shoulder. His expression is serious and determined.

JustinE the Rottweiler: Located on the left, chained to man. JustinE is in an aggressive stance, mouth wide open in a fierce snarl or bark, showing his teeth and tongue, with saliva visible. He is wearing a thick, heavy silver chain leash and collar, with a small circular dog tag visible that says "JustinE". The dog is large and muscular, facing the viewer.

Leash: A heavy-gauge silver metal chain connects JustinE's collar to man's hand.

Lighting: Strong, harsh daylight typical of Southern California, creating deep shadows and high contrast, enhancing the dramatic feel.

Background/Setting: A Southern San Andreas (Los Santos) street setting. The background is slightly blurred but suggests a hot, dry, urban environment with power lines/telegraph wires and a glimpse of an older vehicle (possibly a green van) in the lower-left corner. The sky is a bright, clear, light yellow-green color, indicative of a hot day.

hard shadows, and a distinct color palette typical of GTA loading screens and cover.

Highly detailed and rendered. Vibrant, cinematic.
