The pine roundwood imports to France are expected to experience a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with slight year-on-year growth. The import volume in 2023 was not provided, but the forecasted values for 2024 onwards show increments each year. The growth from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent but minimal expansion. The year-on-year variation is anticipated to remain marginal, reflecting a stable but slow-growing demand.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of climate change on local forestry resources, possibly affecting import needs.
- Economic conditions that might influence construction and paper industries, significant consumers of roundwood.
- Changes in international trade policies that could impact import costs and strategies.
