In 2023, the import of uncoated and unbleached kraftliner in rolls or sheets to the UK was recorded at a certain level, which set the base for future forecasts. Between 2024 and 2028, the forecast shows a steady and marginal increase, with values ranging from 294.1 million kilograms in 2024 to 294.57 million kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year growth remains minimal, indicating a relatively stable demand. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period further highlights the modest growth trajectory of this import segment.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in eco-friendly packaging trends affecting kraftliner demand.
- Impact of trade policies with key supplier markets post-Brexit.
- Advancements in sustainable packaging technology influencing market dynamics.
- Fluctuations in raw material costs affecting supply chain and pricing.
