IK Industrievereinigung Kunststoffverpackungen e.V. : A promising
start to the year 2013
10.01.2013 / 10:47
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Bad Homburg - The members of IK Industrievereinigung
Kunststoffverpackungen e.V. assessed the start to the new year altogether
positively. In the course of the quarterly IK Economic Trend survey, a
total of 90 percent of companies surveyed judged the current economic
situation in Germany as good or satisfactory.
With regards to their own turnover development for the first quarter of
2013, companies expect increases in comparison to the last quarter of
2012, the index increases from minus 25 points to plus 1.6 points.
Correspondingly, the judgement of export developments also turns out more
optimistic, albeit on a lower level than turnover, like it was the case in
the whole of last year.
Despite this positive outlook, IK members expect a continually tense
situation in the area of raw material prices. The index for price
development of plastic packaging therefore has increased by 33 percent to
35 points for the first quarter.
This continues to strengthen the impression, also at the beginning of this
year, that the increasingly volatile development of raw material prices has
a decisive influence on the signing of a contract and thus on business
relations between packaging suppliers and customers.
In this context, IK managing director Ulf Kelterborn recommends an
increased application of suitable escalation clauses. Thanks to an
increased planning security from a cost point of view, these would minimize
the increased risk potentials in the area of raw material price
developments also for the customer.
