It has been many years since we have been able to use the word “Stable” to refer to thermal paper. However, we can now through that word into our conversations!
It seems that thermal pricing has begun to stabilize in the marketplace. We have seen a leveling of pricing and an end to the rapid increases. I predict that this trend will become more of the norm over the next 6 months. In addition to the pricing, supply has also become more readily available. I contribute these two facts for the following reasons:
What is the prediction for 6-12 months? At this point, I would expect to see a little reduction in paper costs. As mills try to keep up their production capacity, I would expect to see minor reductions by some mills. That said, I do not think we will ever see pricing as low as 2019.
