As of 2023, Canada imported 8.75 million kilograms of self-copy paper in rolls of not more than 36 cm in width. Forecast data indicates a gradual decline in imports from 2024 to 2028, starting at 8.4571 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 7.2266 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year variation shows a consistent decrease with an average annual decline. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a diminishing demand pattern.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential shifts in technological adoption and digital alternatives reducing the need for self-copy paper.
- Changes in international trade policies or tariffs that could impact import levels.
- Environmental sustainability movements influencing paper usage in industries.
