In 2023, the import value of paper and paperboard coated, bleached, impregnated, or covered with plastics weighing more than 150 g/m² to the US was lower than the forecasted values for subsequent years. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a steady growth with average annual increases. Specifically, from 2024 to 2025, and onwards to 2028, the forecast demonstrates a consistent upward trend with each year seeing slight incremental increases.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Sustainability trends influencing material sourcing and import volumes.
- Technological innovations affecting production processes and import demands.
- Changes in trade policies that could impact import dynamics.
- Global supply chain shifts potentially impacting pricing and availability.
