Commodity Market Outlook Q2 2025: Weaker Demand Outlook Amid Policy Uncertainty to Cap Price Growth

Global commodity markets are under pressure in 2025 amid rising trade tensions, US protectionism, and slowing global growth. Energy prices remain subdued, with oil at a 4-year low due to oversupply concerns and weak demand, while a stronger supply outlook for major crops is set to keep downward pressure on food commodity prices. Meanwhile, metals markets remain mixed, as policy-driven volatility curbs price momentum despite prospects for recovery later in the year.

Redesigning FMCG Sustainable Packaging for Regulatory Compliance

With the tightening of packaging regulations like the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), turning a blind eye to sustainability communication is no longer an option. Now, more than ever, it's crucial to engage in clear, evidence-based communication due to regulatory efforts to prevent greenwashing, such as the EU's Green Claims Directive, set to come into force in 2027.
