The forecast for the sold production of graphic paper and paperboard with mechanical fibers not exceeding 10% and weighing at least 150 g/m² in Germany indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 462.37 million kilograms in 2024, the production is expected to decrease by approximately 0.9% per year until it reaches 446.13 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -0.88% from 2024 to 2028. Considering the actual production in 2023 was higher, this reveals a consistent downward trend post-2023.

Future trends to watch for:

Shift towards digital media impacting demand for graphic paper.
Increased focus on sustainability potentially altering production methods and product offerings.
Technological advancements leading to efficiency improvements.
