The forecast for Oriented Strandboard (OSB) imports to Germany shows a gradual decrease over the coming years, starting from 647.0 thousand cubic meters in 2024 down to 609.03 thousand cubic meters by 2028. The projected decline highlights an average downward trend of roughly 1.5% annually.
The past few years have illustrated a similar trend. In 2023, OSB imports were already showing signs of slight decline, setting the stage for this continuous decrease. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the forecast period is anticipated to mirror this descent.
Looking ahead, market dynamics such as construction sector demands, currency fluctuations, and policy changes surrounding sustainable materials in Europe could significantly impact these projections. Monitoring these factors will be essential for stakeholders to adjust strategies accordingly.
