In 2023, the import of plywood sheets at most 6 mm thick with at least one outer ply of tropical or coniferous wood to France stood at 68.50 thousand cubic meters. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady decline in volume, decreasing from 61.16 in 2024 to 36.95 thousand cubic meters by 2028. The year-on-year percentage decreases from 2024 to 2025 and subsequent years indicate a continuous downward trend, with an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -10.60% over these forecasted years, reflecting diminishing demand or increasing competition.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of environmental regulations on plywood export and import dynamics.
- Technological advancements in production or alternative materials that could affect demand.
- Economic factors like exchange rates or tariffs influencing international trade.
