In 2023, the actual sold production of paper and paperboard used as a base for photo-sensitive, heat-sensitive or electro-sensitive paper, carbonising base paper, and wallpaper base in Germany stood at a notable value. From 2024 onwards, the forecasted data show a consistent year-on-year decline in production volumes. Between 2024 and 2025, the volume decreases by about 2.1%, with a further reduction of approximately 2.1% by 2026, continuing the trend with similar percentages for each subsequent year until 2028. This presents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that implies a steady decline over the forecasted period.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements that could reinvigorate demand, the influence of environmental regulations affecting production practices, and market shifts towards digital alternatives that could continue to impact production negatively. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for stakeholders in adapting strategies to this transforming landscape.
