UPDATE 1-Packaging firm Smurfit Kappa says worst is over as volume growth returns
The chief executive of packaging giant Smurfit Kappa said on Wednesday that the worst of a year-long dip in demand for the sector appeared over after volumes increased in the fourth quarter, snapping three successive quarterly declines. The Irish group, Europe's largest paper packaging producer, said volumes fell 3.5% in 2023 as a whole as customers destocked and demand for durable goods weakened but were flat in Europe and up by 1.6% in the Americas in the fourth quarter. "That trend is continuing into January, that we have seen improvements in demand again, so I think the worst is behind us in the sense of demand," Smurfit told CNBC on Wednesday, adding that February also looked good so far.

Packaging companies rode a boom in goods' sales and e-commerce during COVID-19 lockdowns. Smurfit, Europe's largest paper packaging producer, said volumes were flat in the fourth quarter in Europe and up by 1.6% in the Americas, the two geographies it operates in.
