Market data shows the packaging industry among the weakest performers since the conflict began, reflecting rising costs and growing economic uncertainty. The Morningstar Global Packaging and Containers Index has recorded a sharp sell-off, with industry stock prices falling by around 14% since the start of the war. Packaging companies are underperforming broader equity markets as investors respond to higher oil prices, inflation risks, and potential demand slowdown. Energy costs hit packaging margins Rising energy costs are a key driver behind the fall in packaging stocks. Packaging production depends heavily on energy, particularly in plastics, paper, and metal manufacturing. Higher oil prices linked to the Iran war are increasing the cost of petrochemical-based materials such as plastic resins. This is tightening margins across the sector. Analysts note that energy price spikes are likely to persist due to damage to energy infrastructure and disruption to oil supply routes
