The forecast for the sold production of uncoated kraft paper in France shows a consistent downward trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the production volume stood at around 53.9 million kilograms. By 2024, the forecast indicates a decrease to 50.832 million kilograms, representing a 5.7% decline from the previous year. This reduction continues with a 6.1% drop in 2025 to 47.757 million kilograms. Subsequently, a 6.4% decrease in 2026, a 6.7% drop in 2027, and finally, a 7.2% decline by 2028 leads to a projected volume of 38.714 million kilograms.
Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) illustrates an average annual decline of approximately 6.0%. As such, stakeholders should monitor:
- Effects of environmental regulations on paper production.
- New material innovations that may substitute kraft paper.
- Shifts in global and local demand for sustainable packaging solutions.
- Technological advances in paper manufacturing processes.
- Economic factors impacting the paper industry, such as raw material costs.
