The forecast for the import of corrugated paper and paperboard to the UK anticipates a gradual decline from 2024 through 2028, with volumes moving from 28.613 million kilograms in 2024 to 28.478 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a decreasing trend, indicating a small yet steady drop in imports over the next five years.
Year-on-year variations suggest a slight decrease in import volumes, highlighting the stabilizing nature of the market post-2023 levels. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) further underscores a negative growth trajectory, albeit at a minimal pace.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of shifting trade regulations post-Brexit, technological advancements in packaging materials, and the drive towards sustainability, which could influence import patterns and demand in the UK market.
