In 2023, France's import of veneer sheets and sheets for plywood of thickness not exceeding 6 mm stood at a level slightly below the forecasted 2024 value of 131.83 million USD. The forecast indicates a steady, incremental growth from 2024 to 2028, with values reaching up to 133.68 million USD. This reflects a modest yet consistent year-on-year growth, with an average annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period expected to be relatively stable.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in global trade policies affecting wood products.
- Environmental regulations impacting supply chains.
- Evolving consumer preferences for sustainable materials in construction and manufacturing.
- Technological advancements in veneer sheet production that may influence cost and demand.
