The import of particle board and similar board of ligneous materials to Germany is forecasted to experience a consistent annual decline from 2024 to 2028, starting from 2.85 thousand cubic meters in 2024 and decreasing to 2.12 by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 6.7% in 2025, 7.1% in 2026, 7.3% in 2027, and finally, 7.4% in 2028. In 2023, the import volume stood above the 2024 figure, marking the beginning of this downward trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

Germany's regulatory changes influencing demand for such materials.
Shifts in international trade policies that may affect import logistics.
Technological advancements in alternative materials that could lessen demand.
Environmental sustainability initiatives impacting the construction and manufacturing sectors.
