The import of plywood sheets to the UK, specifically those at most 6 mm thick with at least one outer ply of coniferous wood, is forecasted to decrease from 628 thousand cubic meters in 2024 to 556.35 thousand cubic meters by 2028. The year-on-year decline begins in 2025 with a 2.94% drop, followed by a 2.97% decrease in 2026, 3.0% in 2027, and a 3.02% reduction in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is thus a steady decline of around 3% annually.
Future trends to watch for include potential fluctuations due to supply chain disruptions, changes in UK trade policies, and shifts in demand for sustainable building materials, which may impact these forecasts.
