The import of graphic paper and paperboard with mechanical fibers exceeding 10% to France is projected to decline steadily from 329.48 million kilograms in 2024 to 279.4 million kilograms in 2028. In 2023, the volume stood at approximately 342.13 million kilograms, indicating an ongoing downward trend. The year-on-year percentage decrease from 2024 to 2028 is modest but consistent, reflecting an annual compound average growth rate (CAGR) decrease over this period. This suggests a declining demand for this type of paper product, potentially influenced by digital transformation and shifts in consumer preferences.
Future trends to watch include increased digital consumption reducing reliance on physical paper, potential regulatory changes impacting the paper industry, and environmental sustainability efforts driving a shift toward other materials. Monitoring technological advancements and raw material costs could also provide insights into future import volumes.
