The forecast for the sold production of uncoated Kraft paper in France indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 88.621 million euros in 2024, the market is expected to decrease by approximately 2% annually, landing at about 81.007 million euros by 2028. The year-on-year decreases accentuate a steady downward trend observed over recent years; although 2023 figures are inaccessible, the trajectory suggests consistent contraction. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year span is negative, affirming a shrinking market.
Future trends to watch for include innovations in packaging alternatives emphasizing sustainability, regulatory changes affecting production, and shifts in consumer preferences toward eco-friendly materials. The drive for recycled and bio-based packaging solutions may pose significant challenges to traditional Kraft paper production.
