The import of coniferous wood in chips or particles to Germany is projected to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at 726.73 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 800.87 million kilograms by 2028. This represents an average annual growth rate of 2.45% over the forecast period. As a comparison, in 2023, the actual import stood at a slightly lower level, with the forecast indicating a sustained increase reflecting a positive market trend. Year-on-year growth rates for the upcoming years are modest yet consistent, indicating stable demand.
Looking forward, key trends to watch include potential changes in supply chain dynamics and environmental regulations, which could influence import volumes. Additionally, shifts in the global market demand for renewable resources might impact Germany's import strategies and market positioning in the coming years.
