Key future trends to watch for include potential shifts in Sweden's economic conditions, changes in office work dynamics particularly due to remote working norms, and the global price fluctuations of wooden materials. Additionally, evolving environmental regulations and consumer preferences towards sustainable furniture could significantly impact these import patterns.
