In 2023, the import of bleached and clay-coated kraft paper and paperboard weighing more than 150 g/m2 to the US was at a baseline of 6.107 million kilograms. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 suggests a marginal decline, indicating a stable yet slightly decreasing trend over the years with values dropping from 6.1063 million kilograms in 2024 to 6.0938 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a very minimal year-on-year decrease.
Future trends to watch for:
- Shift in demand dynamics due to environmental policies and sustainability trends.
- Impact of technological advancements in packaging and paper industries.
- Global market changes influencing import tariffs and trade agreements.
