In 2023, Germany imported 890.22 thousand kilograms of non-cellular, non-reinforced regenerated cellulose sheet or film. The forecast indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with imports decreasing from 845.28 to 674.72 thousand kilograms. This represents an average annual compound decrease of approximately 5.3% over the five-year period.
Trends to watch for include:
- Shifts towards sustainable alternatives that might accelerate the decline.
- Potential regulatory changes impacting the material's importation and usage.
- Developments in the European Union's trade policies affecting supply chains.
