Declines outnumber gains in textile & woven packaging. Five of its six materials are down over three months as of 4 November 2026, and only one is up. Even so, the family average comes out slightly positive at +0.1%, and at +2.3% over a year, against +0.4% and +5.7% for packaging overall.
That single riser carries the average. Jute / hessian sacks gained 1.4% over three months and 9.2% over a year, the family's best figures on both counts. Every other line in the family is lower over the quarter.
Woven polypropylene pulls the other way. Woven-PP sacks fell 0.4% over three months, the family's largest drop, and 4.8% over a year, the steepest annual decline anywhere in packaging. The sacks line slipped 0.1% and is down 2.4% on the year. Over twelve months, then, jute and woven PP have moved in opposite directions.
Bulk bags moved as one, with identical figures across the three lines. FIBC / big bags, FIBC (type A/B) and conductive FIBC (type C/D) each lost 0.2% over three months and remain up 4.0% over a year, second in the family behind jute.
Across packaging as a whole, rises clearly outnumber falls over three months, 111 to 38 with 4 unchanged, which makes this family one of the exceptions. None of its six materials has a dated market note, so these moves come without any reported news.
Woven sacks in jute, hessian or polypropylene sit alongside flexible intermediate bulk containers in this family, from standard type A/B big bags to conductive type C/D versions. Jute is the only one of the six that is higher than both three months and a year ago.
