In 2023, the UK imported approximately 20 million kilograms of unbleached sack kraft paper. From 2024 to 2028, a downward trend is forecasted, with imports decreasing from 18.066 million kilograms to 11.643 million kilograms. The year-on-year decline averages around 7% over the five-year period, reflecting a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -9.34%.
Future trends to watch include the increasing emphasis on sustainability and recycling, potentially reducing demand for virgin materials. Trade policies and supply chain shifts caused by geopolitical events could also influence these forecasts.
