The forecast for France's import of uncoated and unbleached kraftliner suggests a steady decline from 133.84 million kilograms in 2024 to 125.66 million kilograms in 2028. Given the 2023 import level stood at approximately this amount, the year-on-year reduction is modest but consistent. Specifically, there is an anticipated annual decrease of 1.5% from 2024 through 2028, revealing a subtle decline trend in import volume over these five years.

Future trends to watch for:

Fluctuations in global kraftliner supply chains which may impact France’s import volumes.
Potential shifts in domestic packaging demand due to environmental policies favoring sustainable materials.
Changes in trade policies affecting import tariffs and costs.
